For SGA

50th Year To
Be Big One

By Mary Elliott

The schedule of this week's
activities, organized around A.
C's Freshmen, seems to indicate
that we're turning our attention
solely to the Class of 1970. But,
we'll show you in the weeks to
come that this year, our 50th,
will be in every way the biggest
yet for S.G.A. We will offer more
for all students than ever before.

Our main concern has been in
the area of social activities, and
! this year we think we have our
biggest problems licked! In the
Spring of 1966, at the Senate's
request, the Board of Trustees
authorized the Activity Fee which
you paid along with tuition. This
fund will enable the Student Gov-
ernment Association's Social
Committee to contract the bet-
ter known combos for our small
dances, a nationally known or-
chestra for the Beauty Ball, a
couple of concerts with top re-
cording artists, and much more
that you'll hear about later in
detail. Obviously, this increase
in volume will be the most sig-
nificant improvement in the so-
cial change. But, the Social Com-
mittee, according to Chairman
Carolyn Whitinger, also plans to
focus on variety and originality
in S.G.A. parties and dances,
and there are rumors around of
some very interesting and unus-
ual functions planned for the near
future. Keep your eye on the pro-
jected calendar on the SGA Bul-
letin Board outside the Tea
House for a schedule of activi-
ties.

In addition to strictly social
events, we have on our calendar,
in the area of Special Affairs,
Religious Emphasis Week, Honor
Code Emphasis Week, and, al-
ways our favorite, Drives Week,
for which we have devised some
ingenious methods of making you
loosen your money belts while
enjoying yourselves.

Naturally, entertainment is
only a small part of what S.G.A.
will provide for you this year.
Our primary purpose is always
that of maintaining and support-
ing our own standards for indi-
vidual and group conduct through
the activity of the Senate, the
Student Honor Court, and the
Executive Council. But, the area
of entertainment is of such spe-
cial interest to all students that
S.G.A. wanted you to know that
1966-67 will be a year of FUN
at A.C.

LONELY WALK — but never fear, freshmen. Before you know it
AC will be so much a part of you that to leave it will be like
leaving home.

Welcome To AC!

Lively Week Ahead
For New Freshmen

MARY ELLIOTT
SGA prexy promises big year.

The first week of the 1966-67
school year is full of action. Ac-
tivities aimed especially toward
the Freshmen fall in line, one on
another's heel.

Monday night starts the action
with a picnic at the college lake.

Tuesday the Strand Theater
will have special shows at 6:40

Tea House Sports
New Sign

By Mary Elliott

Once again we have our "Tea
House" back. Not the old build-
ing adjoining Reynolds, of course,
but an old and familiar name
for part of a new building, and,
along with the name, we hope,
some of the spirit which charac-
terized the original "Tea House."

The signs were placed on the
doors of the snack bar and out-
side the snack bar area at the
request of the Senate which vot-
ed last year to retain the old
name for the snack bar, since
the "Tea House" had become a
tradition at Alabama College.

The signs themselves were de-
signed by Mr. Robert Whyte,
former art instructor at Alabama
College, at the request of a spe-
cial committee of the Senate.
The design was chosen not only
for its attractiveness and origi-
nality, but also for its appro-
priateness to the architecture of
the Student Union Building.

and 8:30. Also at 6:40 will be
the practice session for the Fresh-
man Skit for the SGA Talent
Show. All Freshmen are urged
to attend and compete for the
valuable prize of "honorary up-
perclassman" which offers exemp-
tion from "ratting."

Tarn Duffill, AC graduate and
"Toast of Savannah" will host
an informal sing in Palmer Hall
Wednesday at 7:30. An outstand-
ing folk-singer, Tarn should give
an outstanding show.

Following a Candlelight Supper
Thursday evening Deans Paty,
Walters and Wilkinson will host a
"Deans' Party" in Palmer Hall
from 7:00 to 8:00. At the close
of the convocation the SGA of-
fices in the Student Center and
the Tower will hold an open
house to enable the new students
to see the SGA in action.

No one wants to miss the fea-
ture of the week, the SGA Tal-
ent Show. At 7:30 Friday night
the Student Government will in-
vade Palmer Hall to present fun
and music for the students and
faculty.

Closing the week will be the
annual Freshman Reception and
Dance. This year the occasion
will be semi-formal instead of
formal.

All of the classes are invited
and urged to attend all of the
week's activities to start the
year off with a bang.

SGA Senate
Revamps Old
Constitution

On July 12 the student body
and the Student Government of-
ficers ratified the new SGA Con-
stitution. Within a few weeks
President Culp also approved it
and it became law. A Senate
committee under Chairman Ross
Henry completely revamped the
old Constitution which had not
been revised since the college
went co-ed.

The committee found many
glaring contradictions and amend-
ments which had been tacked on
with little or no regard for pre-
vious provisions. They also made
some major changes concerning
house government.

Under the revised Constitution
house officers no longer come
under the jurisdiction of the
SGA except that they can hold
no other SGA office. Each house
must draw up its own constitu-
tion and submit it to the SGA
Senate for approval.

Each house is also to have a
House Court under the SGA Stu-
dent Court to try the lesser
house offenses so that the Stu-
dent Court will not be so clut-
tered with lesser matters and
will be better able to serve in
more serious offenses.

The Constitution makes clear
which offices are SGA and which
are not. It also clarifies the
positions of Court Solicitors and
Justices in cases coming before
the Student Court to prevent Jus-
tices from becoming unduly in-
volved in cases before they are
heard.

It is essential that all students
familiarize themselves with the
new Constitution which appears
in full in the 1966-67 Fledgling
Handbook.

Enrollment
Largest In
AC History

Alabama College begins classes
this week with the largest en-
rollment in its seventy year his-
tory.

Mr. Kermit Mathison, Direc-
tor of Admissions and Records,
announced "Alabama College is
filled to capacity with a full
time equivalent enrollment in ex-
cess of 2000 students with a fresh-
man class in excess of 700 stu-
dents."

For the third straight year,
Mathison added, Alabama Col-
lege officials were confronted
with more students than space.
Students have been accepted on
a standby basis only for the last
eight weeks.

Like most other colleges in the
state, Alabama College is hav-
ing its growing pains, and many
rooms designed to house two stu-
dents will house three. Such a
move was necessary to accommo-
date what Mathison called "ter-
rific demands of students want-
ing to enter Alabama College."

Freshmen will go through sev-
eral days of rigorous orientation
and registration before classes
begin Thursday, September 15.

i JKii J^fc i>ufci i | ° ne of the first questions
CTfl projected to us as the newly
elected editor of the ALA-
BAM IAN was the traditional
query as to the editorial poli-
cy for the coming year. Thus
it is laid forth.

Being, of course, a news-
paper the first task is to
ffSi present, accurately and
promptly, the news — everything that will happen,
did happen and is happening.

As a campus paper, however, and one singular-
ly free from administrative censorship, the ALA-
BAMIAN is a record of opinions. In its pages
is a welter of emotions, approval, disapproval,
anger, pleasure, all of the feelings that have ever
burst from human beings.

Because of this readers may laugh, worry, blow
up, or become hopelessly confused. We hope so.
And we hope this will cause more comment for
the A LAB AMI AN to air.

The editors must necessarily be a little more
reserved in their comments. But our personal

policy will in no way interfere with the right
of the students to express themselves freely in
any manner they so desire, short of libel.

Now that we have made our position clear it
is your turn. Are you, the students of Alabama
College, going to respond? Are you going to talk
and write and argue about what is happening
both on campus and off? Are you going to dare
to question authority? OR are you going to just
sit back and let someone else do it for you?
(Don't fool yourself — they won't.)

A great many things are happening which
should be of vital interest to each one of you.
Here is your chance to tell everyone how you
react. The Letters to the Editor department of
the paper is the most telling feature of all. It
shows just how much action is taken by the
student body, whether or not you think at all
(for no one can think seriously with no want-
ing to act).

We invite you to participate. Show that Ala-
bama College is full of action people, alive and
vibrant, and not run down by a horde of spine-
less inerts.

Activities Need Publicity

A new year brings not only new problems but
a hearty sprinkling of the old ones. One such
problem has been harped on year after trying
year — social activities. Each week-end the great
exodus reoccurs spurred on by cries of "There's
nothing to do." It is a vicious circle, we admit,
but definitely not a lost cause.

If the students felt that something worthwhile
was going to happen they would not be so anxious
to depart come Friday noon. But how can any-
one expect people to stay on campus for week-
end programs when programs during the week
are so sadly neglected? Is is because they are
so poor? We think not. The amount and diver-
sity of aitivities is adequate but the publiiity
is not.

Some of you will remember when the Experi-
mental Theater produced the controversial
avante-garde "Waiting For Godot." The campus
was plastered with wierd little signs with a single
scrawny tree and a single word— "Waiting." Ev-

ery meal people were urged to see this unusual
performance. No one was surprised at the stand-
ing-room-only crowd. This is the only time in
our experience that any campus program, large
or small, received adequate and appropriate pub-
licity. Maybe "South Pacific" and the Lettermen
did not need it, but everything else did.
s

We suggest that every college production and
performance, SGA and others, see to this impor-
tant aspect of student activities. Posters need
not necessarily be as curiosity invoking as the
"Waiting" ones, but all should be bright and
plentiful. Even an inexperienced hand with a jar
of red paint can womp up something superior
to the bland little College Theater signs.

Start packing them in for weekly music con-
certs, make Reynolds shake with record-break-
ing audiences for the College Theatre, startle
our guest performers with huge and enthusiastic
crowds, and then you can start filling the week-
ends with activities and not have to worry about
attendance.

Survival Of The Luckiest

"Human history becomes more and more a race
between education and catastrophe." — H. G. Wells.

The decision of General Hershey last year to draft college stu
dents falling behind in their grades may well prove a crime against
a generation of Americans. The "Keep up with Ivan" philosophy
of the 1950's made the college student king, and he should be,
because the future of the United States depends upon the educa
tion of this generation.

At the present time, however, it looks as if the education of
the generation is going to be sacrificed for the education of a
minority smart enough or lucky enough to make the grades. Mil-
lions of students are being forced to sacrifice an education for
grades.

This ruling has produced a great academic and emotional
strain on college students across the nation. It is confusing, and
few students are positive that they are safe from the far reaching
hand of the military.

It stands to reason that male students will no longer want to
chance taking a course they are not sure of making good grades
in. A student no longer needs to consider what he can learn from
a course, but must first count the number of quality points avail-
able.

Potential A-l male students are given absolutely no special
consideration over females (a majority at AC) who can pack the
easy courses leaving no room for the worried male who must turn
to harder courses or take less hours. The potential A-l male is
given no consideration when he finds that all available research
material is gone from the library and that he must look elsewhere

Some students are undoubtedly forced to cheat — an unforgiv-
able crime, but a necessary one.

Such a sword of Damocles as the draft must be hard to live
with. The military may control the education of this generation
for many years, and some time in the future the nation will dis-
cover that Ivan is too far ahead and the race is lost. The minority
allowed to receive a college education will find it hard to carry
the burden of the whole nation, but it will be too late.

Summer In The South

TLE MAN ON CAMPUS

" |^0W A FEW QUESTIONS, Ml?. FARNS WORTH, AND WE'LL- $EE IF
YOU QUALIFY F0RO/E O? OUfc STUDENT LOANS,"

This summer witnessed the beginnings of a
widespread political evolution in the South. In
some cases this change took the form of en-
trenched Democrats being unseated by hard-
campaigning Republicans, and in other cases

old-line conservatives and segregationists fell
before the vigorous onslaught of a new breed
of men calling themselves "moderates" and "pro-
gressives."

In Virginia three important cogs in the once
omnipotent Byrd machine ran for re-election,
two were defeated. Congressman Howard W.
Smith, with 35 years seniority, and Senator A.
Willis Robertson, with 20 years seniority, were
both narrowly defeated by younger men who
epitomize the "new" politician. Attorney George
C. Rawlings, Jr., who felled Smith, and State
Senator William B. Spong, Jr., victor over Rob-
ertson, are young, vigorous, moderate-to-liberal
in outlook, and recipients of the new mass of
votes from Negroes and suburban dwellers in
the burgeoning Washington area.

To the west, in Tennessee, what shaped up
as a battle between Kennedy forces and John-
son forces regressed into a less intriguing strug-
gle between the veteran and the newcomer. Rich
Nashville attorney John Jay Hooker, Jr., only
35, and a self-styled Kennedy protege, challenged
former governor Buford Ellington, a close friend
of President Johnson. The Johnson approach was
distasteful to moderates and Hooker was ac-
cused of being a Kennedy agent, so both ap-
proaches were abandoned. Moderate Ellington
carted away 53% of the vote while the other
half of this "dynamic duo," Gov. Frank Clement,
won the senatorial bid. Moderates were big in
Tennessee.

In Florida, which every real Southerner knows
is not a real Southern state, Miami Mayor Rob-
ert King High, a professed liberal with Kennedy
connections, defeated incumbent Governor Hay-
don Burns, a segregationist, and conservativ
former State Senator, Scott Kelly.

Georgia's Democrats can't win for losing. Mod-
erate Governor Carl Sanders cannot succeei
himself and neither Senator Russell nor Sena
tor Talmadge is inclined to leave Washington
Republican Congressman Howard Callaway,
George Wallace-type segregationist, slipped into
the vacuum and appears to have support enough
to win in November.

Arkansas, on the western boundary of th
South, promises to have a real battle in Novem-
ber. Powerful GOP candidate Winthrop Rocke-
feller, brother of the New York governor, will
oppose segragationist Jim Johnson, former Chiei
Justice of the State Supreme Court. Johnsoi
had to defeat another former Chief Justice 1
a bitter Democratic primary run-off to get th
bid. Winthrop Rockefeller in Arkansas and How-
ard Callaway in Georgia are two Republican:
with excellent chances of grabbing the No. :
position in their respective states. Republican;
will also make strong bids for the governor":
chair in Alabama and Florida, with lesser chance;
of success.

Evolution is an inexorable process. Politics am
politicians are no more immune to its working
than is nature'. Congressman Smith knows it
now. After casting his vote on the losing sidi
in the Virginia primary, "I don't know," he said
"Times have changed."

Yes, times have indeed changed in Virginia,
and other places in our South. November shouli
bring even more changes. Let's wait and see.

THE ALABAMIAN, Alabama College

FALCON PAGE

September 12, 1966

Introducing The Falcons

Unfortunately, by now "Welcome" has be-
come a worn out word; however, before it
ceases completely to possess a meaning, let me
take this opportunity to offer you my most
cordial "Welcome" to our beloved A.C. campus.
I am Mike Malone, your Sports Editor for the
coming term. It is my sincere wish that your
stay here will be most enjoyable and enriching.

Although our college is small in proportion
to other schools in the state, we boast a well
ounded program of interests and activities suited to one and all.
t is my intention this fall to report concisely and accurately the
ictivities concerning athletics on the A.C. campus and -off.

Probably most of you are unfamiliar with our sports activities.
We feel that we have a more than adequate program for men and
women alike. Our intercollegiate varsity sports include basketball,
baseball, cross-country, tennis and golf.

The basketball team, under the leadership of Dr. Leon Davis,
to begin its third year of varsity competition. The team is
housed in a multi-million dollar complex of architectural genius —
better known as the Falcon Gym. The future looms very bright for
our cagers if and only if the players dedicate themselves to win-
ning early.

The Falc baseball team has not been, to date, what we as a
school would like them to be. However, this past year there was
an outstanding crop of "rookies" who we feel have the ability to
win some big ones in the seasons to come.

The golf team, playing with five freshmen and one lone sopho-
more this past spring, finished runner-up in the A.C.C. Confer-
ence. Keep an eye on the "linkers" this coming year.

Cross-country is the first sport to begin after the opening of
the fall term. Experienced hands are back here that should make
them repeat as A.C.C. Conference champions in the fall.

Last but far from least is the tennis team. It is with great
sride that I speak of the A.C. netters. This past season yielded a
fair record of 21 wins and defeats. Six lettermen return this year
rom the undefeated A.C.C. Conference champion team of 1 965-66.

For those who cannot participate in varsity sports, we have an
ntiamural program that is second to none. For the boys there is
football (flag), basketball, and Softball. The teams are arranged
with men representing their respective dorm floors. For the women
there is volleyball, basketball and Softball. These teams represent
the classes and, incidentally, girls, these activities are not restricted
P.E. majors (sorry, Dr. Finger, I mean Health, Physical Educa-
cation and Recreation majors).

So, freshmen, if you wish to participate in physical activity on
he campus, it is not hard to find something to suit your skills.
)ne thing more, if there is anyone interested in helping me cover
an event, or wish to add material to the sports page, please con-
act me, Mike Malone, or our editor, Nancy Boyer.

Again, Freshmen, I wish you the best of luck in the coming
lays (you'll need it!), and I hope you will enjoy your stay at
iear ol' A.C. as much as I.

An Open Letter To Dixie

BY PAUL HARVEY
(Reprinted from the Huntsville Times)

ear Dixie:

Can you possibly find it in your heart to ac-
ept our sincere apology? When there was race
ioting in Little Rock, Arkansas, we were con-
nced that the cause was callousness. Our pub-
ic officials and our press in Chicago insisted
hat the only 2 reasons for Negro restiveness
were your segregated schools and your stubborn
lovernor. We in Chicago, with integrated schools
nd a very liberal governor are now writhing in
he agony of race rioting. And as we seek to
et our house in order, we hope your headlines
will be kinder to us than ours were to you.

And when a Mississippi Negro boy was found
drowned, we in Chicago called this the "inevit-
able result of a white-supremacy tradition." Now
a Negro girl, 14 and pregnant, has been shot to
death on the front porch of her own home in
Chicago — and we are confused and ashamed —
and frightened.

What are we doing wrong that has made eight
square miles of our city a battleground? Help
us, if you can find it in your own hurt heart
to help.

And Alabama, when your state police were
photographed subduing rioters with night sticks,
Chicago's bold-face front pages condemned you
for "indefensible brutality." Now Illinois State
Police have resorted to armored cars and crack-
ing skulls and shooting to kill. . . .

Your governor had alleged that "Communists
are fomenting this strife." We scoffed .

Now 13 Negroes on Chicago's West Side have
been charged with "plotting treason." We are
sweeping admittedly Communist literature from
our littered streets.

Forgive us for not knowing what we were talk-
ing about.

Georgia: When you were photographed in the
act of turning back crowds of marching children
— we could not control ourselves. "The very
idea," the Chicago press editorialized, "that
youngsters should be considered a menace suf-
ficient to justify the use of tear gas!"

Now, in our own asphalt jungle, we have seen
Negro youngsters of 9, 10, 11— advance on po-
lice with drawn guns or broken bottles — scream-
ing, "Kill Whitey!"

And we used gas and clubs and guns and, God
forgive us, what else could we do! Can you,
Georgia, forgive us, too?

We tried the patience we had preached. Hon-
est, we did. We tried so desperately that seven
policemen were shot the other night, two of
them through the back. So, in the end, we re-
sorted to methods more brutal than yours. But,
don't you see, we had to!

And our .mayor listened to the Negroes' lead-
ers, as he so often admonished you to do. He had
listened, he had made compromises and conces-
sions and he had offered sacrificial police offi-
cials and school officials — but they kept coming
from so many directions with so many demands
—and then— demanding to keep the fire hydrants
gushing for their playing children during the
city's most critical drought. —

Dear Dixie, perhaps we have not yet learned
fully to appreciate what you have been trying
to do to effect evolution without revolution —
but perhaps for whatever belated comfort it
may be, from our glass house we will not be
throwing any more stones at you ... for a while.

AC Folks At
Convention

Three persons affiliated with
Alabama College were present
and active at the Republican
State Convention in Montgomery.
Two are at present students at
A.C. and the other an alumnus,
class of '66.

Ray Holland, A.C. grad, was a
delegate from Coffee County. Al
Hill, sophomore, was a page for
the Shelby County delegation and
Nancy Boyer, junior, sat as a
member of the press.

The two day convention was
the climax of a long period of
hard work for Alabama Repub-
licans. It was the official start
of the first major challenge to
the solidly Democratic state.
With strong bids for governor
and Senate, in the persons of
Jim Martin and John Grenier,
and for all congressional seats
but one, the Republican Party
in Alabama' hopes to help coun-
ter the heavy balance of Demo-
crats in both the state and the
nation.

The campaign, now well under
way, is being followed with in-
terest by both the southern states
end the nation as a whole.

College Theatre

Tryouts Begin
This Week

It's A Long, Lively Road

In spite of how it looks, ratting is fun. See how the upperclassmen smile! See
how the Rats smile! ("Smile, freshman — that's an order!")

Tarn Duffill is the first of the many outstanding entertainers who will stream
hither to make life enjoyable. The "Toast of Savannah" and RCA recording art-
ist (as well as AC grad) is a noble beginning to campus "night life."

The new library and science buildings are part of the major improvements
signed to make even study enjoyable.

You will find solitude or crowds but never be lonely in a crowd (not in the
world's friendliest school).

And always you will come back to that place of light and life that made y
what you really are.

(ear Rats,

'e, the upperclassmen of Ala-

, Uf the AC Rats, to the best
liege in Alabama. Overlooking
fact that you are lowly, un-
elligent, and totally unworthy
our consideration, we extend
helping hand.

If you should have any trouble
,ncerning directions any Soph-
pre will be glad to assist you,
■oviding you meet all the re-
lirements of proper Freshman
i Savior (which are still quite
\esh in their own minds). This
I so will give them a chance to
low off their own knowledge
s mcerning the campus (such as
e precise location of Phillips

The Juniors are always ready
come to your aid if any ques-
n concerning the college regu-
tions or the Honor Code should
e. However, you must for-
the Seniors if they seem a
ie distant. Seniors seldom rec-
lize the existence of the low-

AC Senate
Is Active

The Alabama College Student
Senate, actively working since
last spring, is now busy prepar-
ing for a year of activity and
progress.

One of the- first items brought
to the attention of the Senate
this fall concerned salary in-
creases for the S.G.A. secretary
and treasurer. To better com-
pensate for the work and respon-
sibility involved in these offices,
the Senate agreed to increase
the salary of the secretary from
$75.00 to $150 a year and to in-
crease the salary of the treas-
urer from $225 to $270 a year.
These have been passed on to
the administration for approval.

The fine results of the work of
the Senate Handbook Committee,
headed by Vicki Hymel and Mary
Louise Kneisley, were seen as the
new 1966-67 FLEDGLINGS were
distributed during orientation.

Elite Night, a major event on
the A. C. campus, will take place
November 19 at 8: 15 p.m. in
Palmer Hall. Betty Little, ap-

bands. He is a pianist and drum-
mer, winning a "First Chair"
medal in this year's All-County
Band performances.

He holds National Honor
Awards in piano from the Nation-

College Students Asked
To Volunteer Talents

Alabama College Students have
been asked to volunteer as tutors
of Negro children in Birmingham,
the majority of whom are at-
tending previously all-white high
schools.

Lee Eilert, a Birmingham min-
ister and coordinator of the pro-
gram, says the tutoring will aid
Negro students integrating high
schools to catch up to the aca-
demic level of their classmates.

It is also hoped that the per-
sonal tutoring will give students

a positive encounter with bo:h
teachers and classmates, since
this is lacking to a great degree
in the classroom situation at the
schools which they are attending.

Another purpose of the tutor-
ing is to stimulate the students'
creative and intellectual abilities
as well as motivate them toward
greater academic achievement.

Interested students may obtain
further information at the ALA-
BAMIAN office or contact Lee
Eilert, 128 6th Avenue South,
Birmingham.

Anna Chan Chennault, widow
of General Claire Chennault of
"Flying Tiger" fame, will open
Alabama College's 1966-67 Con-
cert & Lecture Series on October
5 at 8:15 p.m. in Palmer Audi-
torium.

Mme. Chennault will speak on
"Crisis in Vietnam." Her per-
sonal background in China, in-
terviews with leading Asian fig-
ures, and her many personal
contacts in the area have given
her a rare insight into Southeast
Asia's complex problems.

After graduating from Ling
Nan University in 1944 at the age
of 19, she became China's first
woman war correspondent. It was
this work that brought the no-
vice reporter and the famed war
hero, and her future husband,
together.

Mme. Chennault has no trouble
with her spare time; she has
none. She has published twelve
books in Chinese, two books in
English, and, as part of her work
with the Machine Translation Re-
search Department at George-
town University's Institute of
Language and Linguistics, two
new Chinese dictionaries. She is
also an accomplished dress de-
signer, with showings in the
United States and Latin America.

Mme. Chennault, as her hus-
band before her, is a militant
fighter in the cause of democracy
and freedom.

Tickets for all 1966-67 Concert

ern States Teen-Age America
Talent Contest.

She was chosen from some 200
applicants to entertain at the
1963 National County Agents Con-
vention held in New Orleans,
and was among the top ten con-

1, Gardendale. He served as vice
president of the Blue Devil var-
sity band, and played solo trum-
pet with the school's Stage Band,
an honor group composed of top
players from the varsity band.

He was chosen for Most Valu-
able Senior honors by fellow
band members this year. He wa
active in a number of student
organizations and was named to
the senior class "Who's Who"
for 1965-66.

Defending The Honor Code

LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS

Honor Code Emphasis Week
is now almost over, but the
problem of such a system —
whether it is really all that
good, and if so will it work —
still remains. We could go
over all the various argu-
ments, pro and con, but that
would be only a waste of
both our time and yours.
What we would rather do is to evaluate the sys-
tem, as is, and then accept it, fcr the Honor
Code is here to stay.

A student at Alabama College upholds the
honor of the College by refraining from every
form of dishonesty in his college life, and by
doing all that is in his power to create a spirit
of honesty and honor on the campus.

It sounds nice, doesn't it? And it is nice. Be-
cause of this nice little code the professors of
Alabama College do not have to patrol the aisles
when an examination is given. The student does
not have to undergo the harrowing experience
of having an eagle-eyed teacher peering eagerly
over his shoulder. Any professor, surely, would

rather wander down to the SUB for a quick cup

of coffee and an exchange of laughs with his

cohorts than to be baby-sitting some thirty po-
tential cheats.

On the other hand, it would hurt no one to
drop the "tapping" system, since, to our knowl-
edge, no one has made use of it at any time du-
ring its unillustrious history. For one thing, who
is going to watch out for someone else when
they are desperately trying to drain their own
small store of knowledge!

Along with talk of the Honor Code rides the
Controversial Blue Books. Dean of Women, Mrs.
Adelaide Paty, made a most perfect defense of
the Blue Books, and the Honor Code in general.
"All of the laws of the state and the nation,"
said Mrs. Paty, "are written with the weaker
citizens in mind. No one takes personal offense
at laws against felonies just because he has never,
or will probably never, commit one. Why then
should one be offended by the Honor Code?
The Blue Books and the Honor Code are not in-
sults to your personal integrity, but merely an
aid to someone who may be weaker than you."

Okay, you fire-brand students, think about it.

Shut Up Or Get Out

By Bob Dinwiddie

Has anyone ever heard of Ian Robertson?
Would you believe ... no one?

Ian Robertson has much in common with you
and me; he is a student Until September 13th
he was a law student in South Africa; now he
is a student at Oxford College in England. Or-
dinarily a South African studying in England is
not headline material, but Mr. Robertson's trans-
fer, or rather the underlying causes for his trans-
fer, slices to the heart of the South African life,
laying it bare before the hopefully critical eyes
of the world.

At the tender age of nine years, when most
boys are collecting frogs and shunning little girls
as the plague, young Robertson joined the Unit-
ed Party, the leading opposition party of the
ruling Nationalist Party, which has been in con-
trol since 1948. Five years later he joined the
newly-formed, pro-integration Progressive Party.
At age 17 he was named chairman of the Young
Progressives.

Ian Robertson so distinguished himself as a
student that he was named president of the Na-
tional Union of South African Students (NUSAS).
Acting in his capacity as president of NUSAS,
Robertson invited Senator Robert Kennedy to
visit his country. Two weeks before the Senator's
arrival Robertson was banned by Justice Minister
Balthazar Vorster. He was confined to his home
city of Durban; he was banned from any educa-
tional premises; he was not allowed to meet
with more than one person at a time; he was not
allowed to be quoted in South Africa. This sen-
tence was for five years.

The Nazification of South Africa is almost to-

tal. The General Law Amendment Act of May
1963 empowered the Justice Minister to detain
anyone he pleased, without charge or trial, for
recurring periods of ninety days, and to extend
this until death if he so chooses. The new law
outlawed law. The parallel with the German
Third Reich grows every day. Any organization
opposing the Nationalist Party is suspect; and
suspicion brings harrassment. Minister of Jus-
tice Verster has now become Prime Minister,
qualifying for the post by being interned du-
ring World War II as a pro-Nazi sympathizer.
Announcing Robertson's ban he referred to
NUSAS as "a detestable and damnable organiza-
tion," and that he would not "touch it with a
bargepole."

Faced with the sentence of five years intel-
lectual solitary confinement, Ian Robertson left
South Africa for England on September 13th. As
millions before him throughout the world, he
sought freedom by leaving home. After Oxford
Ian hopes to study at Harvard, teach a few
years, then "go into politics."

Ian Robertson has never been a radical; never
a revolutionary. But still, he may never see his
home again. He was in opposition, as Sen. Dirk-
sen or Rep. Martin are in opposition to our rul-
ing party. But in South Africa, the white oasis
in dark Africa, opposition is verboten. The rul-
ing party enslaves the dissident Whites along
with the Colored and the Blacks. The South Afri-
can Reich is maturing into an efficient totali-
tarian machine of suppression.

Alan Paton, the beloved country is indeed cry-
ing; she cries for herself.

Where The Action Is

"Show that Alabama College is full of
action people, alive and vibrant . . ."

—Nancy Boyer

One of the great ills of our society lies in man's unwillingness
to "become involved"; he is afraid to speak out and. in short, loses
what individual talents and ideas he may have.

Fortunately, this isn't entirely true on the college campus and
many students realize that college is the time and place to dis-
cover and develop these talents and ideas. Miss Boyer's lead edi-
torial of September 12, "Let's Act," should serve as a call to arms
for student participation of many kinds.

The freshman walking around campus with a copper bell dang-
ling from his neck is a reminder that Alabama College is blessed
with much talent of many kinds. The SRA's talent show proved
that AC's musical talent is literally boundless.

Throughout the school year, many of us will watch an extreme-
ly active theatre, music, and speech department draw from the
talent at AC.

The Social science and other' departments are showing signs of
becoming more active in developing the intellectual participation
of students.

There is a year-round program of intramural athletics.

There are three student publications, all of which need the
energy and talent of those willing to "become involved." There is
work to be done on the social and other committees of the Stu-
dent Government and the Student Religious Associations, as well
as in seeking an elected office itself.

College is undoubtedly an excellent microcosm of our society.
There will be those people who seek to "become involved" in im-
proving it and those who are afraid to "become involved," thereby
rendering their talents as well as potential ability and service use-
less.

Editorial Praised By Student

Dear Nancy,

Hallelujah! I couldn't help but
feel a strong sense of Southern
pride after reading the first edi-
tion of this year's ALABAMIAN,
for to me it is the first issue
since I came to AC which ex-
presses the true sentiment of the
conservative Southerners who
make up the majority of this
honorable institution. It was es-
specially gratifying to see re-
printed Paul Harvey's "An Open
Letter to Dixie", which in Mr.
Harvey's unmistakably concise
and straightforward style strips
the pants of smugness from the
likes of our hypocritical Presi-
dent Johnson, who gave on na-
tional television the tainted cry
"We Shall Overcome" after the
unfortunate Selma incident. Why
doesn't that same spirit mani-
fest itself now at the anarchy

and hate that has erupted recent-
ly in our great northern cities?
His silence shows his guilt.

In an otherwise commendable
paper one article must be ex-
empted. That it is illogical and
totally unreasonable is unimpor-
tant. What is, and would sur-
prise me if its author were any
other, is that this article is subtly
but unmistakably in line with the
socialist - collectivist propaganda
which loudly proclaims that all
men are equal, only some are
"luckier" than others. Mr. Dun-
can, is the will, the determina-
tion, the sacrifice, and the work
and loss of sleep necessary to
make the grades which you
would do away with "LUCK'?
Hell no, it isn't luck. It's that
very American ideal to excel, to
be a little better than the next
guy, to accomplish a little more

than he does, and to reap the
reward of the personal satisfac-
tion which comes from doing so.
We at AC are not here because
we have any inherent "ri?;ht" to
be here. We are here because
we earned the privilege by "hit-
ting the books" before we got
here. That we retain the privi-
lege to stay depends on no one
but ourselves, as it should be,
and last of all on luck. If we
work and sacrifice for our edu-
cation, we will stay. If we don't
apply ourselves, we will fail.
There is nothing, lower to me
than one who fails to succeed
due to the lack of effort, then
has the audacity to attempt to
take the guilt from his own
shoulders by crying that he was
just not lucky enough to be one
of the "smart ones".

Is Defending Constitution A Crime?

Dear Editor,

Is it such a crime to defend
the Constitution of the United
States, the Bill of Rights and
the American Way of Life when
your country asks you? If so,
may God have mercy on this
country 30 years from now when
the persecuted are running our
cities, states and country.

The entire country is sorry
that today's college student is
being inducted into the service
because it wasn't so long ago,
before some of you were born,
that they were forced out of
school or never entered college
because, along with their high
school diplomas, they received a
bus ticket the the nearest induc-
tion center and have been called,
to this day, 90 Day Wonders.
They are proud of that name,
are you proud of them? If your
answer is "No" beg their for-
giveness the next time you meet
one. Ask him how many of his
good buddies died so you can be
here in college today protesting
the fact that you have to take
his place 25 years later.

As for the student who has tq
cheat to stay in college, profes-
sors, if you see him, please give
him an "A" to keep him in,
the military doesn't want him.
They want people facing the
front lines, not crying and run-
ning.

Don't worry about the Sword
of Damocles, you will receive a
fine education because of it. Not
only will you learn to throw a
grenade farther than anyone on
the block but you will return to
college when your time is up,
a man trying to learn instead of

Attendance Cards
Create Bedlam

Dear Nancy,

Since convocation is a requir-
ed assembly of Alabama College
students, there must be some
way of determining who attends.
It is the practice of the adminis-
tration to give every student a
card to sign as he enters the
auditorium. After the program
is over, it is then the duty of
2,000 anxious AC collegians to
place their cards in boxes label-
ed alphabetically and set on a
table in Palmer lobby. Unfortu-
nately each and everyone rushes
to the lobby, trying to beat the
crowd only to find a mob of
people have already swarmed
the place. All are in a mad rush
to find the proper box to deposit
their cards. Instead of accomp-
lishing this minor task quickly
and efficiently everyone is pack-
ed around the boxes like sar-
dines. After five to ten minutes
of pushing and stepping on toes,
a student may reach the box to
put his card. After students have
deposited their cards, they then
face the question of how to get
out. Most AC students will agree
this is harder than getting in.
If a student reaches the outside
of Palmer to find he has nei-
ther lost any of his possessions
nor suffered any inuries, he is
very lucky. There may be oth-
ers among his number who suf-
fer with claustrophobia or who
faint in the heat of the confused
situation.

This inadequate check system
at convocation is not one of our
most serious problems, but it is
one that needs ot be considered
by capable authorities. With some
cooperation from those concerned
and by students developing a one
at a time method this small nui-
sance could be overcome.

body what's wrong with the
world and doing nothing but en-
joying our inalienable right-
Freedom of Speech.

As for the author of "Survival
of the Luckiest" in the last is-
sue of THE ALABAMIAN, you
had better do what is necessary
to keep those grades up for if
they want YOU, and your atti-
tude remains the same, watch
what you say in front of the boy
who still gets shivers up his
back when Old Glory is raised,
or the gunnery sergeant with a
couple of Purple Hearts from
World War II and Korea and
working on his third, for you
may find the V.C. are not your
only enemy.

Alabama College has a fine
record of patriotic service over
the past. Your blood drive was
in the highest tradition of citi-
zenship and the American way
of life. Many seniors upon grad-
uation will receive commissions
in the services, knowing full
well their destinations in about
a year. These men are following
many past graduates, one of
whom, a charter member of one

In Defense Of
freedom Of Speech

Dear Editor,

After reading the freshman is-
sue of the ALABAMIAN, I am
glad to see that Alabama Col-
lege has at least one American
who will speak out on the mat-
ters that do matter. I am tired
and disgusted with watered down
editorials that offend no one. To-
day many citizens feel that if
they disagree with the accepted
policy of the country they will
be considered traitors. What
about all those people who sup-
ported Germany in her war.
These were her citizens and could
not be considered traitors, so
all the Jews were sacrificed,
but of course for the good of the
country. Now those people who
did not support this policy are re-
spected. We must not be led by
Hitlers shouting traitor! and
citizen, everytime someone dares
to disagree. Our founding phi-
losophy is to permit freedom of
speech and choice. Let us use
them now or when we do need
them, they will be rusted shut
in an eternal embrace with hyp-
ocrisy. Let us thank Americans
like Duncan for speaking out
whether we agree with them or
not, for it is these people who
protect our precious freedoms
with most reverence and effect.

Sigmas

hted

The Sigma Social Club of Ala-
bama College is proud to an-
nounce that all club activities,
which are newsworthy, will be
presented in this column through-
out the coming weeks. We, the
Sigmas. believe that although we
are a closely-knit group of
"brothers," we still have a re-
sponsibility to the A. C. public
to keep them informed as to
our activities and club functions.

This past Saturday night, Na-
pier basement was transformed
into a "jungle paradise," a
"rocking" paradise, that is. The
"Incentives" from Birmingham

provided the music to go with
the truly jungle atmosphere.
Speaking of the atmosphere, a
lot of time and effort went into
the "junglizing" of Napier base-
ment; every Sigma had a hand
in making our "Jungle Party"
a success, but special recogni-
tion must go to Rocky F. Stone,
that genius of organizing and
construction. All of you students
who packed up Friday and left
because A.C. campus never of-
fers weekend entertainment, miss-
ed probably the most enjoyable
party had around here in many
years. The Sigmas spent many
a long hour in preparation for
this event, as a result we feel
that we have the prerogative to
make a formal challenge to oth-
er student groups, as well as
social clubs, to provide social ac-
tivities to those "few" students
who remain on campus on the
weekends. Let the Sigma Club
of Alabama College proudly set
the precedent.

Prospective
Teachers

College seniors preparing to
teach school may take the Na-
tional Teacher Examinations on
any of the four different test
dates announced by Educational
Testing Service, a nonprofit, edu-
cational organization which pre-
pares and administers this test-
ing program.

New dates for the testing of
prospective teachers are: Jan-
nuary 7, March 18, July 1, and
October 7, 1967. The tests will
be given at nearly 500 locations
throughout the United States,
ETS said.

Results of the National Teach-
er Examinations are used by
many large school districts as
one of several factors in the se-
lection of new teachers and by
several states for certification or
licensing of teachers. Some col-
leges also require all seniors pre-
paring to teach to take the ex-
aminations.

Leaflets indicating school sys-
tems and state departments of
education which use the examina-
tion results are distributed to
colleges by ETS.

On each full day of testing,
prospective teachers may take
the Common Examinations, which
measure the professional prepara-
tion and general cultural back-
ground of etachers, and one of
13 Teaching Area Examinations
which measure mastery of the
subject they expect to teach.

Prospective teachers should
contact the school systems in
which they seek employment, or
their colleges, for specific advice
on which examinations to take
and on which dates they should
be taken.

A Bulletin of Information con-
taining- a list of test centers, and
information about the examina-
tions, as well as a Registration
Form, may be obtained from col-
lege placement officers, school
personnel departments, or direct-
ly from National Teacher Exam-
inations, Box 911, Educational
Testing Service, Princeton, New
Jersey 08540.

Attention
Girls!

By Janice Tarrant

Regardless of your skill, abil-
ity, or major, you are needed
in the girls' intramural program.

The fall semester of girls' in-
tramurals consists of volleyball,
basketball, golf, and tennis. Du-
ring the past two weeks on Mon-
day through Thursday, practice
sessions of girls' volleyball have
been taking place. October 3 a
"Round Robin" volleyball tourn-
ament will begin. Heading this
first phase of the intramural
program will be Pat Skelton.

October 22 marks the date of
the mixed 2-ball tournament.
Boys and girls together will par-
ticipate in the same type tourna-
ment that was held last spring.
Teams will be composed of one
boy and one girl with each part-
ner alternating shots. This tourn-
ament was highly successful last
spring and we hope many of you
will join in the fun again this
fall. Carol Sanderson will direct
this activity.

The third phase of the girls'
program includes the Singles Ten-
nis Tournament which will begin
on October 3 and run through
October 31. AH participants in
this activity should contact Su-
zanne Durham or Betty Duel as
soon as possible.

The final phase of this year's
fall intramural program will be
basketball. It will begin Nov. 7.
Managing this part of the pro-
gram will be Suzanne Durham.

The Physical Education Depart-
ment of Alabama College wel-
comes you to participate in any
or all of these activities.

Col. Terry Speaks

On September 23, Dr. Terry,
better known as "Colonel" Terry,
the head of the B. A. Dept. here
at A.C., was privileged to speak
at the Hayes Aircraft Corp. man-
agement meeting which was held
at the Thomas Jefferson Hotel
in Birmingham. His speech was
entitled "The Corporate Image."

Kick-off To Intramurals

The official 1966-67 men's intramural season
was "kicked-off" last Tuesday with second floor
Ramsay losing to the Commuters 18-0 in foot-
ball. Though the score might not show it, the
game exhibited excellent defense on both teams'
part; however, the Commuters' "beefy" line
proved to be too much for Second Ramsay's
sputtering offense. In other opening week ac-
tion saw First New Men's downing Second Na-
pier 12-6; Third Napier showed their past
championship form by defeating Third New Men's 18-0; Fourth
New Men's and First Napier battled to a 6-6 tie; Third Floor Ram-
say outscored Second New Men's 20-12; and Second Ramsay aveng-
ed their opening game loss by walloping Second Napier 30-6.

There will be six more weeks of scheduled football games be-
fore the "play-off" which begins October 31. Involved in the play-
off will be the four top teams according to win-loss percentage.
After the first week of games, the teams to beat look to be Third
Napier and the Commuters; however, Third and Second Ramsay are
to be respected.

head start on their forth-
coming season. The Falc
"cagers" have been pound-
ing that hardwood court

time for improvement we
are expecting big things
from Dr. Davis' "round bai-
lers" this season.

of the students. All students are
asked to participate and let the
management know what you
would like.

Also, the cafeteria is giving a
"behind the scenes" tour of the
college kitchens for any inter-
ested students. This will help the
students to understand what a
massive chore feeding them is!

SRA Talent
Comes Strong

On September 16, at Palmer
Auditorium, the SGA sponsored a
Freshman Talent Show. Many
groups entered for the prize of
being deemed "upperclassmen"
for the duration of Traditions.
The MC was Mr. Tommy Charles
from WAQY Radio in Birming-
ham.

The winner was Mack Lyell of
Thorsby, Alabama. Mack sang
the folk song "Don't Think
Twice." He accompanied himself
on the guitar. Mack was given
the "honor" of being upperclass-
man with one catch: he had to
wear a cow bell for the dura-
tion of the period.

Alabama College is proud to
have such a distinguished per-
son as Dr. Lucille Griffith as
Acting Chairman of the Social
Sciences Department, a post
which she has held since last
spring.

Dr. Griffith has made a name
for herself not only in the state
but in the nation. She was grad-
uated from Belhaven College in
1929, majoring in history and
minoring in English, Latin and
Education. Dr. Griffith received
her M.A. in History from Tulane
University in 1942 and received
her P.D. in Early American His-
tory from Brown University in
1957. During this period she
taught both in high school and
at East Mississippi Junior Col-
lege. In 1946 she began teaching
history here at A.C.

Dr. Griffith is recognized as an
authority on Early American His-
tory. She has written articles,
chiefly book reviews, for such
historical magazines as the" Ala-
bama Review", "William and
Mary Quarterly", "Virginia Mag-
azine", and "The Journal of Mis-
sissippi History." For those in-
terested, Dr. Griffith has just re-
cently completed a book review
for the "William and Mary
Quarterly" which will appear in
the February issue.

Much recognition has been
awarded Dr. Griffith for her ef-
forts in the field of history. She
has been active in both local and
national historical societies. At
the present time she is president
of the Montevallo Chapter of the
American Association of Univer-
sity Women. Also she is listed in
Alabama Lives, Directory of
American Scholars, Who's Who
of American Women, and Who's
Who in the South and Southwest.

In addition to the magazine
articles Dr. Griffith has had pub-
lished several books these are:
Yours Till Death, Civil War Let-

DR. LUCILLE GRIFFITH

ters of John W. Cotton (1951);
History of Alabama, 1540-1900, As
Recorded in Diaries, Letters and
Other Papers of the Times (1962);
and Virginia House of Burgesses
1750-1774 (1963). At the present
time she is working toward the
completion of two other books.
One is a new edition of Letters
from Alabama originally publish-
ed in 1830 by Ann Royall. The
other is a long range study of
the Tories in British West Flori-
da.

However, Dr. Griffith is not a
one-sided person. One of her
chief interests is in traveling.
She has been all over the Unit-
ed States as well as abroad. Of
course, she finds time for a lit-
tle study while she travels. Dr.
Griffith is an active member of
the Montevallo Presbyterian
Church. She sings in the choir,
teaches the college Sunday School
class and is chairman of the
Campus Christian Life Commit-
tee.

story building with some 60,000
square feet of floor space, a

Scheduled as the first of the
new buildings to be completed,
the home management laboratory
will be utilized by the college's
home economics department.

The two-story science building
will contain some 50,000 square
feet of floor space and will
house the college's physical and
natural science departments and
the mathematics department. Fa-
cilities will include a total of
64 classrooms, laboratories and
offices.

Plans for all three buildings
were drawn by the Birmingham
architectural firm of Evan M.
Terry. They are designed In
keeping with general architect-
ural styles at AC, college offi-
cials noted, and "will be com-
patible with the general campus
atmosphere."

Students Greet Candidate At Talk

Congressman James Martin
kicked off his campaign for Gov-
ernor in Shelby County Monday,
October 10. He was accompan-
ied by a caravan consisting of
Republican candidates for local
and county offices and many
supporters and well-wishers.

Rep. Martin spoke in Alabas-
ter, Columbiana and Calera be-
fore reaching Alabama College
where he received the warmest
welcome of the day. Hundreds of
enthusiastic students and Monte-
valloites turned out in support
of Mr. Martin who called, in no
uncertain terms, for a two party
system for Alabama and the
South. Congressman Martin also
stressed the importance of stren-
gthening the now existent party
of the South — the Republican

Party— rather than squandering
our support on third party ef-
forts.

In an open question and ans-
wer period following his main
address, Mr. Martin responded
to students' questions by saying
that he strongly supports the
careful and thoughtful expansion
of Alabama's educational facili-
ties. He also stated the conviction
that, if 18 is old enough to fight
in the Armed Forces, it is old
enough to vote, an opinion met
by cheers from the gathered stu-
dents.

Monday's activities ended with
a fund raising supper at Thomp-
son High School, at which Mr.
Martin was the key speaker.
However, it was a day long to be
remembered by Shelby County
and Alabama College.

CANDIDATE SPEAKS — Rep, Jim Martin is shown shaking hands
with Fred Crawford after his speech Monday.

emeritus W. J. Kennerly. Ken-
nerly was chairman and profes-
or of chemistry for 45 years be-
fore his retirement in 1965. His
remarks concerned the college's
history, in which he played a
significant part.

Convocation activities also in-
cluded the traditional academic
procession and bestowal of aca-
demic caps and gowns to mem-
bers of the Senior Class.

Senior Class President Donna
Jones, San Antonio, Texas, rep-
resented her fourth-year class-

Cafeteria Makes
Complaint

Some day while you are cas-
ually flipping through your
Fledgling Handbook, notice on
page 32 a little item labeled
Smoking Regulations. You will
notice that it says, specifically,
that smoking is not allowed in
the Dining Hall. You might also
note, on page 14, that stealing is
a violation of die Honor Code.
Now, when you go into the cafe-
teria, notice how many folks
settle back and light up for an
"after dinner smoke" and how
many cups, plates and spoons
go out the door with something
"for my roomy" on it.

No matter how trivial these
matters seem, they are serious
infractions of school regulations,
and often result in considerable
expense to the Food Services.

Smoking is not only a fire
hazard and a violation of the
insurance policy, but it is of-
fensive to many people, and it

Applications for the November
18 and 19, 1966, administrations
of the College Qualification Tests
are now available at Selective
Service System local boards
throughout the country.

Eligible students who intend to
take this test should apply at
once to the nearest Selective
Service local board for an Appli-
cation Card and a' Bulletin of

causes even more over-crowding
in the cafeteria when someone
takes an extra ten minutes for a
cigarette.

The cafeteria loses several
thousand dollars every year from
dishes, silverware, salt shakers
and glasses confiscated by stu-
dents to take to their rooms. If
these items were returned, or,
better yet, never taken the money
saved could be used for more
ice-cream socials and steak din-
ners.

Mr. John Talantis, Food Ser-
vices Manager, and Bill Cobb,
Chairman, S.G.A. Food Services
Committee, ask that these rules
be abided by. They also request
that any "borrowed" items be
returned now so plans can be
made to make the cafeteria a
more cheerful part of your day.

Information for the test.

Following instructions in the
Bulletin, the student should fill
out his application and mail it
immediately in the envelope pro-
vided to Selective Service Exam-
ining Section, Educational Testing
Service, P. O. Box 988, Prince-
ton, New Jersey 08540. Applica-
tions for the test must be post-
marked no later than midnight,
October 21, 1966.

According to Educational Test-
ing Service, which prepares and
administers the College Qualifi-
cation Test for the Selective Ser-
vice System, it will be greatly
to the student's advantage to
file his application at once. By
registering early, he stands the
best chance of being assigned to
the test center he has chosen.
Because of the possibility that
he may be assigned to either of
the testing dates, it is very im-
portant that he list a center and
center number for each date on
which he will be available.

"The Skin Of Our Teeth"
Opens AC Theatre Season

Dr. D. P. Culp, President of
Alabama College, was Lay Speak-
er at Capitol Heights Methodist
Church in Montgomery, Sunday,
October 9. Dr. Culp, an active
participant in all church activi-
ties, spoke on the values of lay
work in the church.

Extensive work in all phases
of the theatre Is now under way
for the College Theatre's season
opener, "The Skin of Our Teeth,"
by Thornton Wilder. The produc-
tion opens two weeks from to-
night in Palmer Hall.

"The Skin of Our Teeth" is an
outstanding work of playwright
Wilder about the Antrobus fam-
ily and their many trials and
calamities. The Antrobuses, cre-
ated on the stage by Frederic
March and Florence Eldridge,
are really Adam and Eve, dis-
guised by the passage of a few
thousand years. The rather un-
conventional comedy represents
the many calamities man has es-
caped by the "skin of his teeth."

Gary McManis and Becky Brit-
ton Thornton play the Antro-
buses and Paula Owens plays
their housemaid, Sabina, origin-
ally played on Broadway by Tal-
lulah Bankhead. A new person-
ality in the theatre is Dick Good,
who plays Henry (Cain). Suzan
Sheldon is his little sister. Many
other newcomers as well as ex-
perienced college actors fill the
featured roles.

"The Skin of Our Teeth" is a
comparatively "way out" but
successful play of the American
Theatre. It should offer a not-
able challenge to the A.C. Thea-
tre and should provide the cam-
pus with two very interesting
evenings of entertainment.

Dr. Carmichael
Dies At Age 74

A most eminent educator and
former president of Alabama

Carmichael, has recently died at
the age of 74.

Dr. Carmichael was well known
throughout the nation as an out-
standing and courageous leader
in education. His degrees and
honors are too many to be list-
ed here, but he was the perfect
example of the man who made
it to the top the hard way— but
in his own way.

THE ALABAMIAN, Alabama Colleg

Speak Up Or Shut Up

To The Editor

College newspapers are
well known as either fire-
eating sensationalists or weak
namby-pamby bulletins. Fre-
quently this extremism is a
result of administrative tac-
tics — the paper is either ig-
nored in the hopes that it
will go away, or trapped in
chains of rules and regula-
tions calculated to keep the opinions of editors
and students at the minimum exposure.

The Alabamian is an exception to the general
standing. The administration doesn't stare over
our shoulders as we peck away at an editorial
or article, nor do they pretend not to see what
comes out in print. If we should inadvertently
(or otherwise) step way out of line they don't
hesitate to inform us of their displeasure, but
they don't browbeat us or take away our privi-
leges.

What are we scared of, then?

Our first issue carried some rather bold state-
ments of opinion in a liberal vein, which were
obviously not the general opinion of the A.C.
campus, since in the second issue (and carried
over into this one) several letters came in con-
demning the attitudes of the writers.

As stated in the first issue of The Alabamian
it is our policy to print ail letters submitted
since the Letters to the Editor department is
one of the few vehicles of opinion open to every
student. However, we do not approve of using
the paper in a personal vendetta against any in-
dividual. If something is said, via the Alabamian,
that mortally offends you we are glad to let you
express your ideas on the subject IF you state
clearly your aims in your letter. We do not like
name-calling of any sort.

You may not realize how a careless word, writ-
ten in a moment of high feelings, can harm a
person. You may never know what an article
REALLY said, you may have missed the point
entirely, or maybe there was no point at all,
just an idea that needed airing, and you read
into the story something that was never there.

Even worse, because it is often done intention-
ally, an article may be read with the intent of
finding something wrong so a furor can be
aroused against its author. Most of you know
who our writers are and what kind of stand
they usually take on national and local issues.
Okay, why are you so outraged when they say
just what you would expect them to? Why must
you pester them thoughtlessly?

Maybe you wouldn't know, but it takes a lot
of courage to strike out against conventional be-
liefs that seem false to you and stand up for
something that means a little more. Some of our
writers have fought convention for years, they've
said what they honestly thought and have been
roundly kicked in the seat of their pants for their
pains. Even those who stand up for conservatism
have received no thanks from all of you "Re-
publicans" and "ultra-conservatives."

We've lost one of our best writers because for
two years he expressed a conservative viewpoint
and nary a word of encouragement or thanks did
he receive from our "Conservative Element"
(which IS the majority around here). We are on
the verge of losing one of our liberal writers be-
cause this same bunch, this "Conservative Ele-
ment" delights in "witch-hunting"!

Come on, you mature college students, you're
not tomorrow's leaders, that was yesterday,
you're today's men and women. Why don't you
grow up? You complain that America is being
overrun with Socialists and Commies, and you
sit back and cuss L.B.J, and say Martin or Wal-
lace is the savior of the state and nation, you
prop your feet and express disgust over the dem-
onstrations for or against Civil Right or Viet
Nam, but when someone asks you to help fight
the Great Society to help support your freedoms,
to add your voice to the cry for justice and
truth and law, you are too busy, you're too
scared, you don't want to get involved!

Okay, fellows, it's on the line. If you have
something constructive to say, shout it from the
rooftops and our pages; but if you don't, quit
wasting our time and space and let those who
will speak out do so in peace.

Dear Editor,

It is good to see that some of

Freshmen
Want Action

Dear Editor,

In response to your appeal for
student interest in our fine
school, we, as freshmen, think
it is our duty to inform you of
our findings.

We have noticed one particu-
lar flaw in the high standings of
this college. With all due respect,
Alabama College, with its high
ideals, has failed to display its
patriotic pride. Apparently, there
is no American flag flown over
the quadrangle, and furthermore,
no where else on campus either.
Why?

Appropriate measures should be
taken to correct this flaw at
Alabama College. In this time of
a possible decline in American
patriotism we should not falter
in our duties and privileges of
showing honor and respect for
the symbol of our nation, the
American flag. Let's Act Now!

Concerned Freshmen,

needs more students like yoi
that will stand up and fight fo
what is right, and what th

If Mr. Moore's and Mr. De
ko's editorials are watered dowi
and offend no one, may I sugge
that Mr. Duncan and Mr. Phi

stand who they are aimed at.

After reading Mr. Phillips' a
tide, "In Defense of Freedom

he can compare the United State
today with Germany durin
World War Two. The Unite
States is in Viet Nam trying

Viet Nam. Germany was tryin

If you can find any compariso

As far as Mr. Phillips' opinio
that many citizens feel that
they disagree with the accepte
policy of the country they wi
be considered traitors, well,
opinion on this is that if
United States is ever conquere
these pacifist and pseudo-intelle

defenders of Freedom and D<

Mr. Phillips is right howevi
that it is our founding philosopl

On the evening of Oct. 15th, Mme Chennault
visited our campus and spoke on "Crisis In
Viet Name." The school press release had stated:
"Her first-hand knowledge of the Far East and
Southeast Asia, her interviews with top military,
political and religious leaders, and her many
personal contacts, assure a report of unusual
depth and timeliness."

The "report of unusual depth and timeliness"
turned out to be a clice-ridden string of general-
ities and trivialities. It was second-string Dean
Rusk. She said, "the situation is improving in
Vietnam." This is ample evidence of our military
power, as we are not only fighting our enemies,
but enemies using ammunition sent them by our
friends. Alas, this is, also, a valid indication of
our weak diplomatic stature. Do our "friends"
listen to us anymore? It seems not. We need
some "diplomatic power."

Mme Chennault reported that student marches
and protests in the United States confused the
South Vietnamese. Should we not, also, be con-
fused when the South Vietnamese students dem-
onstrate against our presence in their country?
Indeed, we have even more right to be confused
because the proportion of demonstrators to the
total population is greater THERE than HERE.
And what about those student demonstrations
in Indonesia? We were told that the mobs that
burned the embassies were infiltrated by Com-
munists. The mobs that wrecked Jakarta and
turned out President Sukarno weren't discussed.
Could it be that they were the same mobs, led
by the same people? The difference is that one
action was agreeable; the other not. Therefore,
the authors of the bad action were Communists.
That is a good rule-of-thumb.

Mme Chennault is a world traveler. She has
traveled thousands of miles and spent thousands
of someone's dollars to interview the leading
figures of Asia so she could return and give us
a report in depth. Was it really in depth? What
did we hear that isn't in the Birmingham News
daily? The only new thing we know about Mar-
Ihall Ky is that he doesn't think Mao Tse-Tung
is really that good a swimmer. We now know
that the venerable Thich Tri Quang, probably
the most learned man in his country, was en-
lightened to Communist methods by the ace re-
porter. This comes after the learned monk has
struggled on behalf of his country for almost
half a century. Mme Chennault flew to Jakarta,

witnessed a momentous political upheaval c
ried out mostly by anti-Communist, anti-Am(
can, pro-Indonesia students; and getting a char
to interview these students, how did she \
"depth and timeliness?" She checked up on Pr<
dent Sukarno's morals. A city is wrecked, I
government is doing an about face, and Mi
Chennault is concerned about the deposed Pr«
dent's morals? Really! Mme Chennault is v
ried about Sukarno's morals but the Indonesi
students say that if Justice Douglas can do
it should be all right for Sukarno. It could
that Justice Douglas thought that if Gen. Ch<
nault could do it so could he.

Mme Chennault wants what we all want;
quick end to the war. This can be done,
said, by 1) blockading the port of Haiphong,
2) increasing the bombing of military install
tions in the North. This, she explained, woi
show them that we are the stronger and t
will respect our power and negotiate. It is m
likely, judging from history, that they will rep
nize our strength, respect it, and INCREA
their own activities. The present bombing
North Nietnam has increased southward ir
tration rather than diminished it. Any limi
action is doomed before it begins. Now, for
blockade: Most of North Vietnam's supplies
received overland from Russia and China
the Eastern European countries. The amount
goods shipped to the North by our friends (1
she failed to name) is limited at best. Milita
speaking, a blockade would only serve to fo
North Vietnam to depend more heavily on Chi
which the North Vietnamese would like to a
at almost any cost. It would also serve to
the deep Sino-Soviet split at a time when it
to our advantage to widen it, not heal it.

Is there any possibility of a stable governm
in Indonesia, be it neutral or pro-America, W
are the chances of a civilian government in So
Vietnam after the constitution is drafted?
the fact that there will soon be more U
sold ers than South Vietnamese soldiers in
war have any further demoralizing effects in 1
country? Will it be more and more OUR
and not THEIR war?

We could have used some "timely" and
depth" reporting on these topics, rather than
Mao's chances of making the People's O
Swimming Team, and President Sukarno's
mistress. This was stuff for the society page

LDITOR'S NOTE:

(It is suggested that one might
ead the letter in question in the
ast issue of the Alabamian.)
As the title indicates — "In De-
ense of Freedom of Speech," my
mly purpose was to defend this
freedom. By defending Mr. Dun-
can's freedom, I also was de-
fending Mr. Moore's Mr. Detko's
and yours. As Voltaire said,
"I may not agree with what he
says, but I will defend his right
to say it with my life."

Perhaps I should now state my
views about Viet Nam (even
though Viet Nam was mentioned
by neither Mr. Duncan nor my-
self) to avoid future mis-interpre-
tations. I feel that since our
boys are over there now, we
' must support them to the best
of our ability and if I am called,
I will serve with them.

In our enthusiasm, however,
let us not deny our citizens these
1 constitutionally granted, and in-
alienable rights for which we are
fighting, nor let us require them
to "earn" these rights.

On Required
Convocations

Dear Editor,

I would like to expand upon
the letter concerning convoca-
tions which appeared in the last
issue of the Alabamian.

When I entered AC I was re-
quired to go to convocation al-
most every Tuesday. I thought
many of the convocations were
very beneficial, but since the
enrollment of students has in-
creased so in the last 2 years it
makes it a pain in the neck to
try to rush through all the
crowd and put your cards in
the box. Also if everyone on
campus went to Palmer at the
same time Palmer might col-
lopse.

It has been shown that many
of the convocations have been
exactly the same, and it seems
a waste of time to go hear some-
thing you've heard before. The
irony lies in the fact that if you
don't go to a repeat perform-
ance and get caught at it an
extra hour is added to your
graduation requirements!

Is there a better way? Is there
a feasible plan by which Fresh-
men can still obtain the benefits
of convocation and upperclass-
men go about their business?

May I offer a solution? Sup-
pose the administration was giv-
en the prerogative of deciding
which convocations would be best
to the interests of upperclass-
men. And suppose upon these
decisions the administration
would post gold flags signifying
required convocations for upper-
classmen, or purple flags signify-
ing repeat performances, thereby
exempting upperclassmen from
" attending such convocations.

Need More
Editorialists

Dear Nancy:

I have already heard this year
several complaints from various
students regarding the fact that
both your regular columnista- are
liberals, their ideas for the most
part removed from majority
opinion on campus. I have talked
with you enough to know the
circumstances involved, but felt
they should be explained to the
students; hence, this letter.

The editor of the Alabamian is

herself a moderate conservative.
Her columnists are liberals simp-
ly because she has not been able
to find conservatives willing to
contribute on a regular basis.
Columnists Duncan and Dinwid-
die have both expressed to me
their concern over the compla-
cency of their conservative op-
position. It is a dangerous situa-
tion when, in a para-democrathic
system such as ours, any par-
ticular faction feels it no longer
necessary to support its views
with rational and responsible ar-
gument.

We liberals, by reason of our
faith in the validity of a free ex-
change of all ideas, would like
to see more responsible editorials
in the conservative vein in the
Alabamian, and less of the ques-
tion-begging and name-calling so
characteristic of certain recent
letters to the editor penned by
conservatives. Such logical short-
cuts are very tempting to those
expressing majority opinions, but
should be recognized as one dan-
gerous step toward totalitarian
thinking.

Whew! It's Finally
Over, Says The Rat

As a shy, but eager Freshman
I came to Alabama College on
September 11, but to my sur-
prise, I found that I was not
just a Freshman, but even more
so a RAT. Due to my frequent
recitation of the proud verse, I
quickly learned that I was "the
scum of the earth and the slime
of the sea"— among other things,
that is! Later I had to be a
"little teapot." (Can't you just

pot?)

Like The Beatles

Col. Terry
Honors And

Dr. Alan Terry, head of the
Business Administration Depart-
ment, has outstanding qualities
in many fieldsn.

For the past four years Ala-
bama College has been privi-
leged to have Dr. Terry on cam-
pus. Dr. Terry, better known as
Colonel Terry, was graduated
from the University of Alabama
with a Bachelor's degree in En-
gineering. He did his graduate
work at the University of Ala-
bama and at the University ot
Maryland. He also has a Mas-
ter's in Business Administration
and his Ph.D. For his thesis,
Colonel Terry made an analysis
of the top corporations in Amer-
ica.

He has written various articles
for such outstanding magazines
as Business Management and
The University of Alabama Press.

Prior to teaching, Colonel Ter-
ry was a colonel in engineering
during World War II. He served
in New Guinea, the Philippines,
Japan, and various other coun-
tries. During the Korean War,
Colonel Terry acted with the
British, and, as a result, he was
awarded the "Order of the Brit-
ish Empire" (the same honor
that the Beatles received) by the
British government. He receiv-
ed this award in Washington
from ..the ..British ..Ambassador
Makin. Colonel Terry is one out
of only ten Americans to receive

such an award.

Colonel Terry is a native of
Selma, Alabama. He now resides
in Montevallo, where he plans
to continue teaching with hii
wife, who is also a Ph.D. They
have one son who also was grad-
uated from the University of Ala-
bama in Liberal Arts and who is
now in the Signal Corps at Fort
Gordon, Ga.

Alabama College is indeed hon-
ored by the presence of such an
outstanding member of its fac-
ulty.

Upon venturing to the Tea
House one night, I was imme-
diately chosen by some upper-
classmen as the victim for their
merry whims. Soon thereafter I

was crowing all around the Tea
House and announcing the time.
I finally crowed to the upper-
classmen's satisfaction and was
then ordered to call hogs! Well,
I even survived that task with
a small amount of aplomb and
so was retained to give compli-
mentary sheets of toilet tissue
to all occupants of the room.
The clincher of the evening
came when I offered a one fellow
a dainty white tissue and he
replied, "No, thanks— I'm trying
to quit!"

On another occasion two il-
lustrious seniors insisted that I
search all trees in the park be-
tween the Library and Palmer
for a tree with a plaque on it.
Much to my embarrassment and
the consternation of numerous
passers-by, I had to spend an
hour intently inspecting the ten-
foot level of those trees. Now
that I look back on the incident,
I chuckle to think how ridiculous
I must have looked craning my
neck toward an interest obscure
to others. By the way, I never
did find the plaque!

Being a good rat to pick on,
I was ordered to flush like a
commode, sizzle like bacon,
count the bricks in the street,
and get my Fledgling signed by
upperclassmen. Asking fellows
for dates and sometimes even
proposing to them proved em-
barrassing to since I am rather
shy, but I "red-facedly" man-
aged to get through.

I had to sing "I'm a Little
Teapot" ever so many times,
although once my spout went the
same way my handle went, and
I turned out to be a "sugar-
bowl"!

After three weeks of ratting
and one week of dire threats, I
received a foreboding summons
to Rat Court. With shaking
hands and chills running up and
down my spine, I uneasily pro-
ceeded to Bibb Graves Gym. Lis-
tening to eerie screams and
laughs, we Freshmen sat down
en masse in the darkened room
while upperclassmen closed in
around us. Finally, the menacing
jury arrived and the court be-
gan.

The Dating
Ratings

New York (NAPS) — Why do
some girls start out by having
little boys carry their books to
school and end up by having
men pushing their wheelchairs-
while other girls never seem to
learn the secrets of attracting
men at any age?

To find out why some women
always rate high as a date, a
writer at the Shulton company
researched male opinion —and
some of the results may surprise
you.

Here's a ten-question quiz on
what they said:

1. Does a girl need a perfect
toothpaste ad smile to attract
men?

No . . . it's what she says
with her smile that counts. Even
some high fashion models have
a slightly crooked tooth or two.
One girl who had "that sort of
look" every man liked but
couldn't define said she owed it
to a tiny space between her front
teeth.

Are men attracted by an ex-
aggerated hip-swinging walk?

Yes . . . but only as a gag —
and remember, no date wants
you to be conspicuous when
you're out with mim. Besides,
it's actually been proved in court
that no woman can help swing-
ing her hips a little when she
walks— so why try to do what
you're going to do naturally?

3. Is a girl's most potentially
attractive asset her voice?

Yes. Many men say a soft,
low-pitched diction makes them
feel vulnerable as all get-out —
and nothing repels them quite
so much as a strident gabble-
gabble which they associate with
female domination.

4. Does a girl need a perfect
complexion?

No ... if you're thinking of
a mole on your chin. But serious
blemishes definitely attract the
thought of help rather than ro-
mance. Serious acne needs a doc-
tor's care — but minor blemishes
can be controlled with a prepa-
ration like Ice-O-Derm, a medi-
cated beauty aid you can wear
as a powder base.

5. Is being insensitive to his
moods the worst crime you can
commit?

Yes . . . but this doesn't mean
you have to be Sweet Alice who
trembles with fear at his frown.
If you let him be silly when he
feels like it, morbid when he
thinks the sky is falling down,
practical and goal-oriented when
he's thinking ahead— you'll really
rate. Probably tops, and maybe
even headed for marriage, is the
guey who allows himself to be
downright dull for an hour or
two — asking your indulgence.

6. Is the greatest asset you can
bring to a date — good walking
feet?

Yes. Trying to find a cab can
be harrowing, especially if you're
only going a few blocks— and the
girl who offers to hoof it rates
high with a man. Wearing low
heeled evening pumps can some-
times turn an evening of poten-
tial frustration into an evening
of shop-gazing fun.

Should you let him suggest the
evening's entertainment?

Yes . . . because you aren't
certain of the state of his fi-
nances. But it's nice to be pre-
pared with suggestions, in case
he asks you. Good date bait is
well informed on what special
events . . . block parties, poetry
reading, movies . . . are going
on in town, just in case he's
stuck for something to do.

8. Should you let him kiss you
on the first date?

Well . . . yes ... as long
as it's a goodnight kiss, but af-
ter that say goodnight and go
into the house. Save the long
soul searching conversation for
another time, another place; in
short, leave a little future in

Hayes blocks McGurk's pass attempt

Bear Bryant Tale 14 Girls, 1 Boy

A Southern coach was recently
looking for someone to perk up
his offense. One day a young Ne-
gro showed up at the Alabama
football practice and asked head
coach Paul Bryant if he could go
out for the team.

Well, the Bear thought he would
have a little fun so he gave the
young Negro the football and told
him to run through two of his
best tacklers. The Negro prompt-
ly ran for a touch down without
being touched!

This shook the Bear up at lit-
tle, so he sent his first eleven on
the field and told the Negro to
run through them. Again, he ran
for a touchdown.

When the whole team was as-
sembled on the field, the Negro
once again ran for still another
touchdown.

Seeing this, Bryant promptly
turned to one of his assistants
and said, "Give that Puerto Ri-
can a uniform!"

The Big Year

and ALL girls
more information

This is the year for intromural sports at
Alabama College. With the football program
for boys and volleyball for girls already well
into their respective seasons, the planning for
upcoming activities is just about completed.
The next sport to start will be basketball. Al-
though still ive weeks away, some men's teams
have already begun loosening up their shooting
arms and re-sighting their aims. The women's
basketball program will also start November 7
interested should contact Suzanne Durham for

Men's and Women's Intramural Tennis Singles Tournament will
begin in the next week or two. The last date for men to sign up
was October 3. Women should see Suzanne Durham or Betty Deuel
for further instructions.

October 22 marks the date of the mixed 2-ball Golf Tourna-
ment. Boys and girls will participate together composing a team,
Each team-partner will alternate shots with the other. This activity
was highly successful last spring and anyone interested in partici-
pating should see Carol Sanderson.

One might ask, "Why should this year be any different from
last in Intramurals?" There are two reasons why: This year's turn
out and interest or the activities presently in action has surpassed
that of previous years and new sports have been added. More
specifically, on October 22 Men's Bowling Intramurals will begjn.
Five members and three alternates will compose a "floor-team."
This, of course, is new to A.C., and we expect a lot of enthusiasm

Programs in the planning stages include intramural swimming,
horseshoes, "tug of wars," and for the intellectuals, possibly Bridge
Chess or Canasta tournaments.

Program is directed by the Health, Physical jj
reation Department. Coaches Frank Lightfoot

The Intramural

Education and Recreation Department. Coaches Frank Lightfoot
and Joe Ruffner have spent a lot of time planning an adequate
program to fit the skills and abilities of all interested in sport!
competition. They offer the activities to us so let us take full ad
vantage of them. This is the "big year" for intramurals at Ala-
bama College.

From issue to issue, the sports staff wishes to spotlight soitv
one who, in our opinion, has contributed his best in skill and atti-
tude to his respective game. In the football games of October 3-8,
we have selected MIKE MAQUE of Third Ramsay— Outstanding

Back, and SID MCLAUGHLIN of Third Napier— Outstanding Line-|ir
man. Congratulations, men, on some fine football.

Our thanks to
DR. D. P. CULP
for being the
first guest picker.
Dr. Culp exhibited
his knowledge of
football by posting
a very impressive
9-2 mark.

Was It, Or
Wasn't It?

(Only the Martians
know for sure)

On October 5, between 7:00
and 10:00 p.m., many A.C. stu-
dents reported seeing an uniden-
tified flying object. The UFO
was first reported by Mike Gold-
stein and Tom Channey of WRSD.

Soon after the announcement
other students began to look
toward the sky for "things from
outer space." One student stated
that the object was at a low
altitude and traveled at a fast
rate of speed.

In a telephone interview with
Joe Dentici, D.J. with WYAM
in Bessemer, he stated that both
the UPI and AP bulletins, at
first, said the object was thought
to be a weather balloon but this
soon proved to be negative. It
turned out, Dentici said, that
the UFO happened to be a smoke
formation, which came from the
local cement plant.

The formation, reacted with a'l
particles causing this phenomena.
Both the Air Force and the En-
vironmental Weather Service
declined to comment. What do
you think?

Now I lie to you to keep (in a

dust

(lost to sunbeams) on the walls:
whereas

I am sorry (sun and shadows
and I

are sorry; and sorry is so pain-
fully raw)

Now I lie to you to keep in si-

Ron Horton In
Peace Corps

Mr. Ronald T. Horton, the son
of Mr. and Mrs. H. R. Horton
of 1306 Farrow Avenue, Bes-
semer, Alabama, graduate of
Alabama College, has been nam-
ed a Peace Corps Volunteer af-
ter completing 12 weeks of train-
ing at Marquette University in
Milwaukee.

Mr. Horton is one of 32 volun-
teers trained in Milwaukee this
summer to supplement Peace
Corps work with Brazilian com-
munity health programs. The
group, scheduled to leave for
their assignments September 28,
will be stationed in the north-
eastern states of Pernambuco,
Paraiba, Bahia, Mato Grosso
and Sergipe. The new volunteers
will work in small communities
to assist in each state's public
health program.

During their training at Mar-
quette University the new volun-
teers studied Portuguese, Brazil-
ian history and culture, U. S.
history and world affairs. Tech-
nical studies included principles
of community development, pub-
lic sanitation, nutrition and use
of audio-visual aids. For prac-
tical application of their studies
the new volunteers work for
three weeks in the slums of Mil-
waukee.

With this group's arrival, about
640 volunteers will be at work
in Brazil. Other Peace Corps
projects there include urban
community development, primary
and university education, agricul-
ture and school lunch programs.

Napier Militia
Repells Vandals

Last Thursday, October 9, the
Napier Militia Squad repelled an
attack of some young local juve-
nile delinquents, with a force of
50 Napier residents armed with
Coke bottles. The delinquents
were riding in a '60 Chevrolet
jeering at students and breaking
bottles at their feet. Their auto-
mobile was damaged severely by
bottles, but no one was injured.
It is hoped that further action
will not be necessary.

Books missing
From Library

Well, it's happened again.
Somebody has been taking books
out of the library. Of course,
that's fine. We like for books to
leave the library — but only if
borrowers sign cards and return
the books. It's when they (books,
not borrowers) disappear from
shelves that we get a little con-
cerned.

Who is it who is taking all
these books (165 last year, but
many of these will just as mys-
teriously disappear)? Maybe tak-
ing a look at the books them-
selves will give us a picture of
the dastardly culprit and will
help run him to earth.

First of all, no subject is ex-
empt from his inquisitive nature
— music, art, poetry, history, sci-
ence, economics. Therefore, he
must be an omnivorous reader.
But what's this? One of the miss-
ing books is The Underachiever
in Reading. That's hardly in
keeping with such cosmopolitan
tastes. Well, perhaps he was try-
ing to understand his roommate.
Poor roommate! He's also taken
several books on hyptonism, as
well as one called The Meaning
of Death and another called The
Mold of Murder.

Further analysis shows that we
should not be calling the thief
"he". Would "he" have taken
The Working Girl's Own Cook
Book? Or The Complete Book of
Crochet? Very well, it's a girl.

A girl, well-read, who likes to
cook, and who has a dumb room-
mate she'd like to murder. She
must also have a boyfriend she
wants to impress, because she's
taken several books on basket-
ball, baseball, and camping. And
one called The Book of Rifles.
But maybe that's for the room-
mate.

Oh, dear. Shg drinks. She took

Open Auditions For
Musical In Progress

Open auditions are now in
progress for the musical play,
"The Fantasticks." Persons with
singing, acting or dancing talent
are urged to try out in Reynolds
today and tomorrow.

The play is an experimental
production of the Alabama Col-
lege Theatre with Clan Phillips
as student director. The play
should make use of some of the
most outstanding talent of the
school. The production will be
presented December 15 and' 16
in Reynolds Studio Theatre.
There will be a limited seating
of 200 people each night, so
early reservations are advisable.
Arrangements can be made now
with the speech department. It
is hoped that there will be suf-
ficient popular interest to de-
mand an extended run.

"The Fantasticks" is a parable

Selected Articles on the Prob-
lems of Liquor Control. And she's
fat, too, because she has some
calorie charts.

With all these drawbacks, how-
ever, she wants to study in Eu-
rope. (Two guides to studying
abroad are missing.) From the
evidence, she can't make up her
mind between Italy (Present Day
Italian) and Spain (The Most
Common Spanish Words and
Idioms).

But she's not majoring in a
foreign language. She's an Eng-
lish major. Who else would want
The Lyrical Poems of Hugo von
Hofmannschal? Or the minor
poems of Dante?

With this picture, she shouldn't
be difficult to identify, and the
library asks your assistance in
apprehending this menace to our
society. If you know a fat Eng-
lish major who crochets and
drinks, and who has an outdoor-
sy boyfriend and a stupid room-
mate, let us know. (Or let the
roommate know; I feel uneasy
about that book on rifles). Oh,
yes — she has 165 books in her
room, and they all have library
cards in them.

of love concerning a boy and
girl and their two fathers who
try to assure their children's love
for each other by forbidding it.
The narrator, "El Gallo," is a
sort of "stage-manager" who di-
rects the fate of the two lovers.
The play is abstract and inti-
mate—thus the choice of Rey-
nolds to house the production.
With the skillful use of memor-
able music and lyrics and out-
standing dialogue, the scene and
mood is created. Two of the
most well known songs are "Try
to Remember" and "Soon It's
Gonna Rain."

"The Fantasticks" continues to
run on "Off-Broadway" since its
opening over six years ago. A
version was also produced on
National Television.

This experimental production
promises to be an experience no
one at A.C. should miss, so
make your plans now to see
"The Fantasticks."

(Continued from Page 3)

On the first case, as well as
all the following cases, the jury's
unanimous verdict was GUILTY.
My classmates must certainly
have been wilder than I thought
to have committed such misde-
meanors as picketing Neal's
Barber Shop, stealing Charlie's
mail truck, and over-indulging in
Comer parking lot!

After stripping off most of
their clothes and being painted
green, three boys were sentenced
to getting signatures from the
Strant Theatre on their diapers.
Another group had to find sil-
ver bells in a bowl of flour with
their mouths! They surely look-
ed like members of a "new
breed" when they got through!

Several RATS had new coif-
fures after the jury members'
rituals with whipped cream,
chocolate syrup, flour, green
paint, vaseline, teasing, and
spray starch. Some Freshmen
even developed tastes for soap,
and a few learned to gargle
whipped cream. No doubt those

tasted good, too!

which I encountered that
ning! My sweatshirt still
green paint on it, too. Bei
that, I also recall some \
line at various inappropi

Publications Represented
At National Conference

On a cold Thursday morning,
five publications delegates left
Montevallo for four exciting days
in Philadelphia at the annual
Associated Collegiate Press Con-
vention, October 20-23. Nancy
Boyer and Ron Szabo of The
Alabamian, and Joan Mills and
lEmily Stansell of The Montage
Were accompanied by Mrs. Sara
|P. Morgan of the Publications
Committee for the thrilling jaunt.

After two hours in the air be-
ing pampered by Eastern's stew-
ardesses and three hours in line
at the Benjamin Franklin Hotel
Waiting for room assignments,
the delegates settled down for a
stimulating round of lectures and
discussions. The opening talk
Thursday evening was by CBS
Foreign News Correspondent
Charles Kuralt whose television
documentaries have win for him
much renown. Mr. Kuralt spoke
on the excitement, frustrations,
and insights of a correspondent
assigned to out-of-the-way places.

The second highlight of the
convention was the Pacemaker
Awards Luncheon on Friday
loon. Presenting the awards to
C>e outstanding papers and ad-
visers was Mr. William B. Dick-
"ison. The Pacemaker winners
•re picked from the AH-Ameri-
«an winners of the A.C.P. and
e therefore "the cream of the
|Cfeam." The winners were: The
Plate News, Michigan State (for
*e fifth time); The Daily Tar
Heel, U. of N. Carolina; The
•ulane Hullabaloo, Tulane Uni-
versity; The Redland's Bulldog,
kedland University; and The
Colorado Daily (U. of Colorado.
* was announced that next year
"e A.N.P.A. ..ill award six
'Wards, expanding the field to
^mi-weekly, weekly, and junior

college papers, to get a fuller
perspective of college news.

For the most part, the conven-
tion was concerned with the in-
experienced editors, business
managers and reporters. Several
series of short courses in jour-
nalism were offered as well as
symposiums discussing such top-
ics as Student Revolutions, Free-
dom of the College Press, and
Editorial Policies.

The major yearbook printing
companies each had colorful ex-
hibits for the delegates to browse
through and several rooms in the
hotel were set aside for display
of Ail-American papers, year-
books and magazines, to give
the "green" staffs some stan-
dards and ideas.

Learning the do's and don'ts
of the profession was only part
of the convention, however. Dele-
gates were given the opportu-
nity to see the "cradle of the
American Revolution," most for
the first time, and everyone made
new acquaintances among the
staffs of papers and yearbooks
from all over the United States.

On Sunday morning, October
23, the quintet from A.C. left
the "City of Brotherly Love."
After an hour's delay because of
thick fog, they boarded an East-
ern Airlines jet to Atlanta where
the connecting flight waited pa-
tiently for their arrival before
taking off for Birmingham and
the last leg of an exhausing but
very rewarding weekend, the
fruits of which will soon become
evident In the college publica-
tions.

Next year the convention will
be held at the Conrad Hilton Ho-
tel in Chicago. The Publications
Committee hopes to be able to
send more delegates from the
staffs to this one.

An excited group of Senior men
and wemen are anxiously await-
ing Elite Night and the announce-
ment of Mr. and Miss Alabama
College. The honor, the highest
that the student body can bestow
upon any . of their classmates, is
being sought by six men and
six women who have shown them-
selves outstanding among the
Senior Class.

Seeking the honor are: Carol
Swindle, Vicki Hymel, Jim Har-
ris, Court Hurst, Rocky Stone,
Jack Hawkins, Ellen Wright,
Donna Jones, Doug Burnham,
Mary Kay Eddins, Julia Gibbs,
and Greg Henry.

These twelve were selected by
the Senior Class as those who
would most typically represent
Alabama College in character,
leadership, personality and schol-
arship. Everyone but freshmen
will vote for the candidates of
their choice. Each candidate
turned in to the committee four
honors or activities which they
are most proud of, or they think
best represents their college life.

Carol Swindle has been in the
College Night cast, a beauty

"By God, We're Number 1"

By Bob Dinwiddle

Gen Douglas MacArthur once warned the Unit-
ed States never to become involved in a land
war in Asia. It was another general, Dwight
Eisenhower, who began the American policy of
sending "advisers" to Vietnam that has now led
to the commitment of 400,000 American troops
in Vietnam.

The army of South Vietnam (ARVN) is no
longer a major factor in the war. South Vietnam
lias fewer regular troops committed to the strug-
gle than does the U.S. The war has been a long
one and the morale and fighting abilities of the
South Vietnamese are waning. The ARVN is no
match for the Viet Cong on any field. In the
first half of 1966. 10,000 Viet Cong were reported
as defecting to the government forces. A minis-
cule percentage of these were identified as hard-
core fighters. In the same six-month period
ARVN desertion figure was 67,000. And another
large number were simply absent without leave,
which, in time of war, amounts to desertion.

Asian commitment in Vietnam seems to be in
proportion to United States influence in each
particular country. New Zealand is interested in
the war to the tune of 150 men. Thailand, next
door to Vietnam, has 180 men there while the
United States has 27,000 men in Thailand. One
Thai seems to be worth 150 Americans. The
Philippines are so grateful to the United States
for granting them independence that they packed
off a contingent of 1,000 men to the war zone.
Australia added an additional 4,500 troops. South
Korea, which has claims to statehood every bit
as strong as those of Hawaii, has sent 39,000
men to the war. The Asians seem not too con-
cerned about the "domino theory" that is par-
roted by so many American patriots.

The allies, with a force of 1,162,800 men to
combat an enemy force of 283,000 men, still only
control about one-third of South Vietnam's land
and one-half its people. Taking into considera-
tion that the allies have a huge naval fleet, jet
fighters, bombers, helicopters, tanks, artillery,
armored personnel carriers, and heavy recoilless

rifles to employ against an enemy whose heaviest
weapon is a mortar, and it is evident that some-
thing is very, very wrong somewhere.

The determining factor could well be the South
Vietnamese people. They know nothing of com-
munism or democracy. They are indifferent to
government. If the war were to end tomorrow,
the people would care not a bit about what gov-
ernment was in Saigon. Peace, a respite from
twenty-five years of horrors of war, is what they
want. The constituent assembly, elected Sept. 11,
has bogged down and very likely will never
function in any worthwhile manner.

The war is a social and political war. A mili-
tary success will not change Vietnam. The con-
ditions that prompted the nationalist revolt years
ago will still be there, multiplied by the ravages
of war.

The United States should cease its build-up in
Vietnam and refuse to send any more troops
there until South Vietnam and the other anti-
communist nations of Asia agree to take the
dominant role in the war. That is, a land war in
Asia between Asians, with Amercian aid; not a
land war in Asia between Asians and Americans,
with token Asian aid.

The United States will never do this, however.
Napoleon learned nothing from Charles XII and
Hitler learned nothing from Napoleon. Every na-
tion is determined to create history rather than
follow it. The United States is obsessed with a
peculiar desire to be No. 1. Our power is being
arrogantly flaunted all over the globe. We should
remember that history is a relentless foe.

Napoleon wasted his army in Russia with the
example of Charles XII to guide him. Hitler had
the examples of Charles XII and Napoleon to
tell him that to invade Russia was pure suicide;
he went anyway. He had to learn. The price of
the lesson was far too great, however.

A land war in Asia is a bottomless pit. And
like all pits, it is hard to get out once you are
in. Unless the Asians care to help in a positive
way to defend themselves with our help, the
United States should try to get out of the pit.

AC's Pollution Problem

By David B. Phill
With all the mental resources of Alabama Col-
lege, it seems as though we might formulate an
answer to the problem of air pollution here on
campus. It seems a small thing to worry with,
and I must agree ... but when air pollution
gets to the point of visible particles landing on
one's body and settling on cars, it is time for
action.

The girls in Hanson, for example, must keep
the windows closed in the direction of the steam
plant or else their clothes and furniture will be
covered with soot. Many students have expen-
sive cars with fabric tops and this soot is ex-
tremely difficult to remove. If you try to blow
it off, it just sticks, and if you try to brush it
off it just goes into the fabric. Students are
afraid to leave their windows open for even an

hour at a time. While working on my car in front
of New Men's Dorm Sunday afternoon, a friend of
mine in a white shirt stood by and talked to me
for 30 minutes. When he left, his shirt was ruined.

This problem seems to have been ignored by
the administration for several reasons such as
lack of knowledge of the problem— hence this
editorial. Perhaps because few administrators live
on campus the problem is not involving them.
At any rate the problem must be corrected.

The size of these particles indicates that a
standard screen such as one finds on a door
would be a great improvement if used on the
boiler smokestack. Perhaps the air-coal mixture
is in need of adjusting. Perhaps an after-burner
is the answer. At any rate, an investigation is
in order and some measures should be enacted
soon before we need boots to wade to class.

To The Editor

LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS

Student Questions Police Tactics

To The Editor:

I would like to ask a question.
It isn't anything earth-shatter-
ing, for sure, but it troubles me
none-the-less. I have heard ru-
mors that I don't particularly
care for and these rumors
prompt me to write the first
letter-to-the-editor that I have
ever written. Since it is my first,
please excuse any awkwardness
on my part.

It was rumored shortly after
the semester started that a po>-
lice officer from Montevallo had
stopped a student from our col-
lege and while in the pursuit of
his duties, the officer struck this
student. Later, another rumor

was started that the student was
suing someone and that the po-
lice officer in question had been
relieved of his tedious duties.

For some time afterwards the
rumors stopped. Then the other
rumors came. There was talk
that the Montevallo police were
retaliating against the students
by stopping them at every op-
portunity and giving them a hard
time.

"How absurd," I thought.
"Grown men and particularly
officers of the law do not do
things like that." Or so I thought.

Even as I stood in front of
Napier one afternoon and watch-
ed a Montevallo police officer

burn rubber up and down in
front of the dorm like a com-
mon red-neck, even then, I held
back on any opinion I might
have had at that time. But now!
Now I have heard the rumor
that the police officer who was
in on the original rumor has
been reinstated at his position.

It is all too much for me. All
I want to know is, is it true?
Can this happen? I mean, real-
ly, am I so naive that I can't
see the world in front of my
nose? If someone would be so
kind as to answer this small,
unimportant question for me, I
would be most appreciative.

On Moderation

By Jim Houghton

After reading Miss Boyer's last editorial, it seems that a
ful consideration should be given concerning the formulatio
opinion. As is prevalent in this society, there is the primi
tendency to either merely accept and conserve the society's
ventionalities, or to converse upon the conventionalities and
"to heck with the world." Ironic enough, each of the above ten<
cies have a common basis for existence— neither requires the
ence of constructive thought. Each can fall back further int
extremities, and denounce the other, without adding a constru
ideal to society.

On the other hand, each can examine the elements that co
tute their existence. This examination will not only require
presence of thought, but will develop a pattern of though
ideology. When an idealogy is formulated, there is usually
type of justification for its constitution— at least in the scop
the intellect that formulated it. However, the formulated ide
of little significance unless it can be applied to the society
surrounds it. The question is not whether the ideal or opinion
painted with a coat of liberalism or conservatism, but whethe
not the ideal can be applied for the betterment of humanity

In order to see what ideologies project an understanding
the betterment of society, one cannot close his mind to that w
is contrary to his instincts. A person must thrust his thou
across the scope of his intellect, examine the extremes of
knowledge that surrounds him and then form an opinion wit
much objectivity as possible— this is moderation. The modi
must be able to understand the liberal ideology that erase
prejudices and constitute a better understanding of society
humanity. The moderate must understand the principles that I
produced this great society, and conserve these principles. Mod
tion does not seek to criticize either conservatism or liberal
but relates each to the other and flings the relationship aga
the wall of reality. To do this, the moderate must have or dev
the ability to understand both sides of an issue and to have
guts to stand up for that which bounces back from the wal
reality— not matter how conservative or liberal that reality may

fo The Editor:

As a whole, we citizens of the
outhern States, want the nation
know that we are supporters
{ the rights of the states, the
rights of the individual, and the
constitution of the United States.
We want the people of the na-
tion to know that we are proud
Americans. We want them to
know that we are just as con-
cerned about the welfare of our
country as they are. But as in-
dividuals we have to let our
voices be heard through our
elected representatives in Wash-
ington and at home. For the
past hundred years we have giv-
en members of the Democratic
Party the opportunity to speak
for us. In recent years many of
these officials have seemingly
neglected the honor that the
voters bestowed upon them. In-
stead of speaking out for our
point of view some of these rep-

to ignore our position and be-

Skit Night
iontroversy

;ar Editor:

I would like the use of this
olumn to voice my opinion on
the action taken against the
Sophomore Class for the use of
certain remarks made during
Skit Night 1966.

The skit was disqualified as a
result of the use of this line,
"The one thing that never let
f me down, my jockey strap."
The point I am trying to make
is this: Was the skit disqualified
because the President of the
i S.G.A. thought that this line
unfit? And if so did the members
of the executive council who
r were present decide to disqualify
the skit due to the S.G.A. Presi-
dent's ideas on the type lines
that should be used? Was the
ilj Sophomore line unacceptable
i< where the use of the word "bas-
tard" in the Senior skit was ac-
^ ceptable? Would not a remark
made in jest be just as offen-
sive to an audience as one made
in a more serious tone?
Who were the real judges of
h Skit Night? Did the three men
i named as judges have the power
li to decide the winner, or were
a they the puppets of the execu-
„ live council?

I propose these questions at
this time, and would like ans-
wers from anyone qualified to
give them.
■I Until I am convinced that the
Sophomore Class was in the
wrong, I will believe that the
Sophomore Class won Skit Night
1966, no matter what the Presi-
dent of the S.G.A. or the execu-
tive council have to say about
W'hat type language is appropri-
ate for use before a collegiate

interest of the party to which
he belongs. But still, here in
Alabama and in the South, we
have elected Democrats to all
offices. The sad part is that we
did it by voting traditionally—
not knowing that the Demo-
cratic Party of today is not the
party of Jefferson and Jackson
—but diametrically opposed to
their principles; that the Demo-
cratic Party has drifted away
from the beliefs of individual
freedom and the free enterprise
system. We did it not knowing
that the Democratic Party no
longer whole-heartedly supports
states' rights.

Many Southerners will argue
that we are victims of prejudice
and bias insofar as recent Su-
preme Court rulings with racial
overtones are concerned. The
truth of the matter is that we of
the South have failed to keep
pace with the processes of con-
stitutional government. My point
of contention is that our Demo-
cratic congressmen have failed
us in that they have not ade-
quately represented our point of
view — whether they believe as
we do should be inconsequential
— for their duty is to represent
all the people.

During these years of one-
party government we had to
elect Democrats because that was
the only "choice" we had. There
were no Republicans or members
of a third party seeking office.
This is no longer the situation.
We of Alabama and the South
will have a choice in November,
an opportunity for us to raise our
voices in unison and to be heard
across the entire United States.
In the upcoming election we of
Alabama and the other Southern
States can decide whether we
want to continue to be dominat-
ed by the Democratic Party or
we can join in the revitalized
Republican movement. Several

Five Days
Missing

Dear Editor:

After reading a copy of this
year's college bulletin, we dis-
covered, much to our chagrin,
that our Christmas holidays have
been shortened to only eleven
days this year. Ths eliminates
a five day period during which
many students had probably
planned to do their Christmas
shopping, having only three days
in which to get it done.

This also eliminates many pos-
sibilities of finding a part-time
job over the holidays, due to
the limited amount of time avail-
able for work.

Then there are the students
whose teachers have assigned
them term papers to be turned
in upon returning to school af-

Southern States strongly denounc-
ed Democratic domination in
1964. The new Republican
Party stands willing and ready
to provide the foundation on
which we Southerners may stand
and join with people of other
sections of the nation to build a
truly representative political or-
ganization.

The South CAN rise again but
only through the Republican
Party. A Republican South is
the only answer to ending the
trend to Socialism and then to
Communism. By electing con-
cerned and dedicated Republi-
cans we Southerners can de-
nounce this trend and can also
make our voices heard in the
party which is apparently our
only means of political salvation.
It is evident that we no longer
have a voice in the Democratic
Party which is controlled by lib-
erals, bureaucrats, and dema-
gogues.

The future and goals of Ala-
bama and the South cannot be
measured but truly strengthened
through the Republican Party.
Let's rise to new and better
heights through this movement
to restore our nation to its right-
ful place in government.

INTRODUCIN

Trick or Treat

Seniors Hold Carnival

The Senior Class of Alabama
College is sponsoring a Hallo-
ween Carnival on October 29. In
years gone by college students
have missed out on the thrill of
Halloween activities. In the past
dances have been sponsored but
never before has a carnival been
presented so students can get
into the real spirit with ghosts,
goblins, witches and a whole lot
of fun. Now is the chance to
get some of the thrill once re-
ceived when we were kids knock-
ing on doors and screaming
"Trick or Treat!"

There will be booths of many
types. Treats will be sold in
some and there will be booths
just for fun. To highlight the

evening the mysterious sounds
of The Chastains Band will be
heard as we participate in witch-
craft gyrations on the dance
floor.

Come on out to Bibb Graves
Hall and join all your friends at
the Halloween Carnival. If you
don't have a date, just get a gang
of your friends and enjoy this
Halloween with us. The price is
50 cents per person and you are
welcome from 7:30 p.m. to 11:30
p.m. Girls will be allowed to
wear slacks or stretch pants but
shorts will not be permitted.

Please be careful on your jour-
ney down to the carnival be-
cause "the goblins will get you
if you don't watch out."

/THE SIGMAS

Due to the decisions and coun-
ter decisions that must be made
in this week of Social Club Rush,
"Sigmas Spotlighted" is not in-
tended to be used as an adver-
tisement column but only as an
explanation of the essentials that
make up the Sigma Social Club.

What was the beginning of the
Sigma tradition and heritage in-
herent in the Sigma Club today?
Actually Sigma was a growing
force before it came to function
as an organization. At a meet-
ing with the Sigma founding
brothers in Ramsay basement on
October 15, 1962, members in
the Delta Kappas (Deltas) ex-
plained the problems of organiz-
ing and encouraged them to
work toward establishing an-
other social group. After the
meeting with the Delta Kappas,
the founding brothers resolved to
establish an organization which
would embody their individual
ideals as a common ideal and
fulfill their social and fraternal
needs. The founding brothers se-
lected the name of their club to
be Theta Sigma Chi; however,
upon the suggestion of the ad-
ministration, the clubs should be
limited to the use of one Greek
letter, so Sigma was selected. On
October 20, 1964, the Sigma Club
was presented its charter of of-
ficial recognition by the college
administration before the student
body in convocation. Thus, as
the culmination of the efforts of
the founding brothers and suc-
ceeding members, the Sigma Club
has grown from a determined
and unified nucleus of eight
members into an efficiently op-
erating organization and the
closely knit brotherhood that it
is today.

The Sigma Club bases its ex-
istence on certain ideals that
were initiated into the basic
structure of the club. Today,
these ideals are as evident in
its members as they were in the
beginning of the Sigma tradition.
In contrast, basic ideals are only
as good as the members make
them; and in this line of thought,
the members are only as good
as their chosen leaders direct
them. The Sigma Club has in-
deed been fortunate to have had
the caliber of leadership that it
has had. From the first presi-
dent of the club. Jack Mayhall,
to the present. Jack Hawkins,

the Sigma Club has indeed been
led in an excellent manner.
Sigma Club Fosters New
Chapter

Since the founding of the club
in 1962 the growth of the "Sig-
ma tradition" has been unparal-
led. In the spring of last year—
at the University of Corpus
Christi, Texas — another chapter
of the Sigma Club was founded.
This club is the Beta Chapter of
Sigma. Bob Hewes, former mem-
ber of the first pledge class here
at AC, was instrumental in the
formation of the Texas group;
he is now serving as their presi-
dent. Since its birth, the Beta
Chapter has upheld the proud
name of Sigma and has grown
with leaps and bounds. Presently,
the chapter is enjoying a frat
house, completely furnished by
the school administration. This
is the second such club at the
University of Corpus Christi and
the first with a fraternity house.
The Beta Chapter has adopted
Theta Sigma Chi as their name,
and they proudly uphold the
name's tradition.

It was the idea of this column
to explain in general the history
and tradition of the Alpha Chap-
ter of the Sigma Club at Ala-
bama College. However, to even
attempt a full enlightenment of
the club's activities (past, pres-
ent, future), hopes, desires and
standards would be truly an in-
justice due to lack of space and
time. The club wishes everyone
to know that Sigma is very much
a part of the growth of Alabama
College. We feel that the student
body has a right to share our
growing pains, too. This is the
purpose of this column; not ad-
vertisement, but an explanation
of something every Sigma mem-
ber is inexhaustibly proud — "The
Sigma Brotherhood" — in Frater-
nitate invecem jungmar.

honors go to Lee Majors, Second
Ramsay. Congratulations, men!

A.C. in that there were fourteen
couples participating.

The tournament began with a
shotgun start, which means that
each couple was assigned to a
hole and with the sounding of a
horn the tournament was begun
for all. Coach Frank Lightfoot
and Miss Miriam Collins were
present to supervise the tourna-
ment. There were several parti-
cipants who had never played
golf before and it was great fun
besides being good experience.
Clubs, balls and lunch were pro-
vided for those participating.

The scores of the tournament
were figured on the Calloway
Handicap System. In this method
of scoring a couple is allowed to
subtract the holes on which they
had the worst scores, if they
had a high score. The higher the
score the more holes they can

subtract. For an example, one
couple had a gross score of 144,
but when their seven worst holes
were subtracted the handicap
score was 68. This puts every-
one on an equal basis and makes
a more interesting tournament.
Since everyone had an equal
chance to win why don't YOU
plan to play in the next golf
tournament.

The winners of the tournament
were Ronnie Bell and Carol San-
derson with a gross score of 68
and handicap score of 68. In
second place were Suzanne Dur-
ham and Jan Brzuskiewicz with
a gross score of 144 and handi-
cap score of 68. Placing third
were Buddy Lon and Bernadette
Twardy with a gross score of
87 and a handicap score of 72.
Congratulations to these fine
golfers.

Heck Of A Season

Entering into the last week of intramural
football, all one can say is, "It's been a heck
of a season." Though the top three teams were
decided earlier, the lower standing teams have
shown themselves extremely well. Those who
have been around for a while agree that this
year's teams have really gone all out to win,
more so than for many years in the past. There
have been some games this season that really
demonstrate the enthusiasm being put forth.
A student on campus can tell who played on a certain team by
looking at the condition of the players afterward, this editor can
testify to that!

All who participated this season -can truly say that this season
of football has been most enjoyable, and most teams are already
looking forward to next year. For the graduating seniors, I know
you will never forget some of those "relaxing moments" you spent
down on the field the last four years; and you will probably agree
that this year was one of the most competitive.

HEW Awards $5000 Grant
To College Library

If you're one of those people
who fuss about the Department
of Health, Education and Wel-
fare, you'd better reconsider —
especially since it awarded a
$5000.00 grant to Alabama Col-
lege Library this summer.

These funds for books were
made available under Title II
of the Higher Education Act of
1965, and Alabama College re-
ceived the full amount that was
available. Some 763 titles have
been received, and a good num-
ber of them are already on the
shelves.

Future Members
Of "A" Club
Complete Pledge

Have you noticed some well
dressed young men walking
around campus with little tags
around their necks? These are
the future members of the Ala-
bama College Men's Letter Club
or "A" Club. Lettering in var-
sity sports in the 65-66 season,
these men have been going
through a pledge period since
Monday. The culmination of the
week's pledging is tonight. The
pledges will assemble in Ramsay
lobby at 10:30 p.m. where, un-
der the watchful eyes of their
Pledge-masters (Sam Heidie and
Johnny Grimes) the defenseless
pledges will be subected to the
heartless tasks of being initiated.

Donnie Stone, President of the
"A" Club, is looking forward to
having a very productive year as
the club is in the process of re-
organizing most phases of its
activities.

The books received cover a
variety of topics from Africa to
zygotes. Some that are particu-
larly interesting are:

WESTVIKING, by Farley Mo-
wat. One of the most entertain-
ing history books ever written
It is the story of Norse voyages
to and settlements in Iceland
Greenland, and Vinland. Even
the appendices are fascinating.

ESP: A SCIENTIFIC EVALU-
ATION, by C. E. M. Hansel. A
debunking expedition into the
wilds of parapsychology.

THE ART OF THE PUPPET,
by Bil Baird. The master of
puppetry has provided an amus
ingly written and charmingly il
lustrated book on puppets and
marionettes from the "first fam
ily", Punch and Judy, to T.V.'s
Shari Lewis and Lambchop.

THE STORY OF AMERICA AS
REPORTED BY ITS NEWS-
PAPERS, 1960-1965, by Edwin
Emery. Newspaper front-pages
from all over the U.S. are re
produced to form a unique story
of our country.

THE ART OF THORNTON
WILDER, by Malcolm Goldstein.
If the College Theatre's latest
production, "Skin of Our Teeth"
—has intrigued you, you'll want
to read about its author.

THE BERKELEY STUDENT
REVOLT, by S. M. Lipset. Time
ly, to say the least. An attempt
at analysis.

FAMILY, by Margaret Mead
and Ken Hayman. The author of
GROWING UP IN SAMOA has
done it again, but with a dif-
ference. It's the photographs
that do it— families of all types
sizes, ages.

Football
Standings

The games of the week Octo-
ber 17-20 were as follows: Sec-
ond Ramsay and Fourth New
Men's battled to a 0-0 tie; Third
Napier upset Second New Men's
12-6; a safety proved to be the
crowning blow as Third New
Men's defeated Second Napier
8-6; Second and Third Ramsay
tied 6-6 in a hard-knocking, spir-
ited game; Fourth New Men's
outgunned First New Men's 18-
12 in a well-fought game; the
Commuters, better known as the
"Consumers," whipped Second
New Men's 18-0.

The standings as of October 25
show the Commuters and Third

About The
Circle K

Circle K is the largest college
organization in existence — there
are over 600 clubs throughout the
United States and Canada. Circle
K is not a social organization,
but it is a service organization
for college men operating on the
campus and is similar to Kiwanis
and other service clubs.

Circle K is a unique organiza-
tion. Its unique quality will be
apparent after examining the fol-
lowing opportunities which Circle
K offers the student, the college,
and the community.

Circle K is an opptrtunity for
college men because it provides
a means of the same type of
leadership in a college commu-
nity which service clubs are giv-
ing in the business and profes-
sional world.

... An opportunity to join as
well as participate in many ac-
tivities for the service of hu-
manity and for campus and com-
munity betterment.

... An opportunity for self-
expression involving the life of
the campus and the community.

... An opportunity for self-
development: Leadership, good
citizenship, education, and fel-
lowship acquired through club
meetings, through actual partici-
pation in civic programs, through
lasting friendships, and through
the association with outstanding
representatives of the business,
professional, agricultural, and in-
stitution life of the community,
in an atmosphere of friendliness,
mutual helpfulness, and service.

Purpose And Objectives

As in Kiwanis, the Circle K
notto is "We Build." The Circle
Club is not merely an organi-
zation, but a driving force, de-
veloping leadership for tomor-
row while it creates a better
college or university community
today. Its specific purposes and
objectives are as follows: :

1. To emphasize the advantages
of the American and Canadian
vay of life.

2. To provide an opportunity
for leadership training in service.

3. To serve on the campus and
" the community.

4. To cooperate with the ad-
linistrative officials of the edu-
cational institutions of the the
clubs are a part.

5. To encourage participation
group activities.

6. To promote good fellowship
and high scholarship.

7. To develop aggressive citi-
zenship and the spirit of service
for improvement of all human
relationships.

8. To afford useful training in
he social graces and personality

development.

9. To encourage and promote
tie following ideals:

To give primacy to the human
tid spiritual rather than to the
laterial values of life.

To encourage the daily living
of the Golden Rule in all human
relationships.

To promote the adoption and
he application of higher social,
business, and professional stan-
dards.

To develop by precept and ex-
ample, a more intelligent, ag-
gressive, and serviceable citizen-
ship.

^To provide through Circle K
-lubs a practical means to form
enduring friendships, to render
altruistic service, and to build
etter communities.
To cooperate in creating and
maintaining that sound public op-
nion and high idealism which
nake possible the increase of
righteousness, justice, patriotism,
nd good will.

Training

Drives Week Declared
A Smashing Success

Quantico, Va. (FTHNC) — Ma-
rine Officer Candidate John A.
Clopton, Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs.
John A. Clopton. Sr., of 1525
Valley Ave.. Birmingham, pres-
ently attending Alabama College,
has completed a class for junior
platoon leaders at Camp Up-
shur.

He was one of more than 600
to graduate from the course.

The platoon leaders program,
which leads to a commission as
a second lieutenant in the Ma-
rine Corps Reserve upon comple-
tion of two six-week summer
training periods and graduation
from college, is designed for
college students.

Candidates, representing col-
leges and universities through-
cut the country, have received
classroom and field instruction
in physical fitness, drill, small
unit tactics, small arms, first
aid and Marine Corps history.

The candidates are required to
return to Quantico to complete
their second six weeks of train-
ing prior to completion of col-
lege.

Drives Week for 1966 has been
declared a raging success!
Though the final figures have not
been completely compiled, Rick
Bryant, head of Special Affairs,
says that the whole week really
went over big, and many thanks
are due numerous clubs and or-
ganizations (not to mention the
faculty) for their participation.

For the benefit of freshmen
and new students. Drives Week
is an annual event on the Ala-
bama College campus, and its
purpose is to flatten the students'
pocketbooks only once for chari-
ty purposes. Instead of being
confronted in innumerable chari-
ty organizations (United Appeal,
March of Dimes, etc) as many

campuses are at this time of the
year, Drives Week proceeds go
to one worthy society. This year
the Boys' Farm in Selma, Ala-
bama, which is sponsored by the
Sheriffs' Association of Alabama,
will receive the Drives Weeks
earnings which promise to be
well over $300.

The week's activities included
a Slave Auction, cake sale, skit
night, elevator rides (in Main and
Tut), a dance in Old Main with
Avery Richardson, and a Circle
K car wash in front of Napier.
As mentioned before, the total
tally of funds has not been en-
tirely finished, but the 1966
Drives Week has really been a
grand success, and thanks go to
every person who participated.

The problem of congestion in
Palmer Foyer after convocation
has been a concern of a Senate
Committee headed by Claude
Duncan. In an attempt to relieve
this congestion, waste baskets,
appropriately marked, are being
placed by the columns in the
foyer of Palmer. Into these cans
attendance cards may be drop-
ped. It is hoped that this will be
a solution.

Warning letters are now be-

breaking in the cafeteria line.
The Senate voted that similar

Iranian Officer Guest Of
International Relations Club

More than forty students and
faculty members filled Old Main
Dining Hall Monday evening to
honor the United Nations and
the International Relations Club's
guest, Lt. Ali Sabjihei.

Lt. Sabjihei, an Iranian gen-
darme, is studying at Ft. Rucker,
Alabama.

The dinner was the second
meeting of the newly re-activated
International Relations Club. Lt.
Sabjihei told the members of his
country, Iran or Persia, and of
his work as a gendarme.

Sabjihei gave a brief history of
Iran and told of its geography,
resources, government, customs
and elaborated in a question and
answer session that followed.

Newly elected officers for the
club sponsored by Dr. Besse Ter-
ry are Claude Duncan, Presi-
dent; Bob Dinwiddie, 1st Vice
President; Rick Foreman, 2nd
Vice President; Elaine Chavers,
1st Secretary; Barbara Miller,

This is Russ Kennedy of Balboa Island. California, on an in-port field trip as a student aboard
Chapman College's floating campus.

The note he paused to make as fellow students went ahead to inspect Hatshepsut's Tomb in the
Valley of the Kings near Luxor, he used to complete an assignment for his Comparative World
Cultures professor.

Russ transferred the 12 units earned during the study-travel semester at sea to his record at
the University of California at Irvine where he continues studies toward a teaching career in life
sciences.

As you read this, 450 other students have begun the fall semester voyage of discovery with
Chapman aboard the s.s. RYNDAM, for which Holland-America Line acts as General Passenger
Agents.

In February still another 450 will embark from Los Angeles for the spring 1967 semester,
this time bound for the Panama Canal, Venezuela, Brazil, Argentina, Nigeria, Senegal, Morocco,
Spain, Portugal, The Netherlands, Denmark, Great Britain and New York.

they collected at the Faculty
Auction. This is the money col-
lected as admission to Skit Night
will be sent to the Boys' Ranch
in Selma, which is sponsored by
the Sheriffs' Association of Ala-
bama.

Seventy campuses throughout
the country will be represented
in a national student group
". . . organized to inform Ameri-
can students of the realities of
Red China and to mobilize stu-
dent action against any appease-
ment of the Peiping regime," it
was announced by David A.
Keene, chairman of the newly-
organized Student Committee for
a Free China and a student of
political science at the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin. He said that
the student group hoped to have
representatives on a minimum of
400 colleges and universities with-
in the next two months.

Student Committee for a Free
China is a project of the Ameri-
can Secretariat of the World
Youth Crusade for Freedom, an
organization founded last year
to stimulate and coordinate the
activities of anti - Communist
youth groups throughout the
world. Mr. Keene participated in
the work of the international or-
ganization as a volunteer in their
Freedom Corps project which
sent American students to the
Far East during July and Au-
gust to work with anti-Commu-
nist youth groups there. Keene
spent the summer months in
Vietnam.

In reporting on the activities
of the Freedom Corps and set-
ting forth the reasons for organ-
izing the new Student Commit-
tee, Keene said: "There is one
thing that we all learned in the
Freedom Corps: the greatest
single enemy of freedom in Asia
is Communist China. It is Com-
munist China that is supplying
the enemy in Vietnam with guns,
ammunition and trained Chinese
officers and men which are used
to kill young Americans and
Vietnamese. It is Communist Chi-
na that has spread its web of
subversion and infiltration
throughout all the free nations
of Asia. It is Communist China
that is the threat to the inde-
pendent nations of Asia and the

self-ovowed enemy of our own
country as well.

"Since 1948, when Communist
seized power on the mainland,
there have been those in America
who advosated policies of ap-
peasement of Communist China.
During the past two years, this
advocacy has turned into a well-
financed and well-publicized cam-
paign. The Chinese Communists
are losing ground everywhere in
the world but in the United
States. It is here — in our own
country— that they seem to be
gaining!

"There are many groups, pub-
lication sand individuals promot-
ing the cause of appeasement
of Red China among American
students. The Student Committee
for a Free China is particularly
concerned with Americans for
Reappraisal of our Far Eastern
Policy which was organized at
Yale University in 1965. It was
set-up as a 'student' group and

aimed primarily at the nation's
campuses. Through distortion of
fact and the utilization of effec-
tive and expensive propaganda
techniques — and under the um
brella of sponsoring professors —
this group has begun to make
an impact on the minds of
young Americans. It is these
same young Americans — the
young men of our own genera
tion— who will be called on to
fight for their country wherever
we are threatened. And if their
minds are poisoned by the en-
emy, what can we expect of
them?

The Senior American Advisory
Council of the World Youth Cru-
sade for Freedom, the parent
body of the Student Committee
includes: nationally syndicated
columnist John Chamberlain;

ist John Dos Passos; Barry M.

itate And Students

»o Not Agree

Tuesday's election showed that
majority of the state's vot-
don't see eye-to-eye with the
ajority of AC students,
firs. George C. Wallace was,
course, elected governor in a
ndslide and John Sparkman
as returned to Washington with
sizable lead. Both Mrs. Wal-
ce and Sen. Sparkman lost out
a student poll conducted by
Circle K Club last week.
VC voters gave Attorney Gen-
ial-elect MacDonald Gallion a
'andslide victory in the poll and
'hat's exactly what voters
throughout the state did.

Although Democrats carried
Alabama offices by a landslide,
Republican minded AC students
looked to other states for their
victories. Although racist Mad-
dox racked up a Democratic win
in Georgia, Georgia elected two
more Republican congressmen.
Few Republican congressmen
elected in 1964 in the South were
able to hold onto their jobs. Re-
publican gains were made in
Claude Kirk being elected Gov-
ernor of Florida, Reagan in Cali-
fornia, Percy defeating Senator
Douglas in Illinois and various
other wins that generally pleased
most AC students.

These eight students will be elect-
ed by their fellow classmen. At
present there are six freshmen,
six sophomores, seven juniors,
and six seniors vieing for this
honor. They are: freshmen, Ap-
ple Kridakorn, John Amari, Char-
les White, Pat Luker, Gayle Lees,
Bill Sumner; sophomores, Ber-
nadine Lee, Babs Smith, Larry
Pharo, Rick Spitler, Mike Gar-
rett; juniors, Andy Maginness,
Missie Edmondson, Sharon Hen-
derson, Mary Granade, Fred
Crawford; seniors, Donna Jones,
Mary Kay Eddins, Rocky Stone,
Vicki Hymel, Carol Swindle, and
Doug Burnham.

Highlighting the evening's ac-
tivities will be the selection of
fifteen semi-finalists in the an-
nual Beauty Ball. The fifteen
will be selected from a field of
beautiful AC coeds. The judging
will be based on poise, personal-
ity, character, and beauty.

The young ladies seeking their
bid to the Beauty Ball are:
freshmen, Brenda Frost, Carolyn
Walker, Donna Thompson, Vickie
Marshall, Dianne Folsom, Mar-
tha Hill, Martha Alfano, Nancy
Ann Boyer, Martha Elizabeth
Young, Diana Winter.

Sophomore candidates are John-

New Honors Program
To Start In Spring

In the spring semester of 1967,
Alabama College will inaugurate
a new honors program designed
to give senior students an op-
portunity to do directed inde-
pendent study in their own ma-
jors and, with other honors stu-

an interdepartmental seminar
some problem which is of uni-
versal significance.

Students who will graduate in
June or August who have a 2.3
cumulative average will be eli-
gible to participate.

The independent work, super-
vised by the major department,
will carry three hours academic
credit. The program of study,

THE ALABAMIAN, Alabama College

EDITORIALS
Where Is The Student Government?

Is the S.G.A. really doing
the job it was intended to
do? Or is the S.G.A. merely
an echo of the administra-
tion? Just how much does
the Senate represent the stu-
dent body? These questions
are asked over and over and
then dropped with a noncha-
lant shrug of the shoulders.
If the representative form of government set up
at Alabama College is not functioning properly
it needs more than a shrug to repair it.

Each class Senator is supposed to carry to the
Senate meetings the propositions, questions and
wishes of his or her class members. They are
not to do as they think fit but as the majority
of their class members think fit. The problem is
to find out just what the class thinks. It has
been our experience that the petition method of
presenting a bill or suggestion is a waste of time
since the Senate usually disregards both the
content and the names signed. Only if the peti-
tion resembles a bill then being considered does
the Senate act on it.

Well, let's try another method. One could al-
ways write letters to the Senator representing
him, but a letter could be as esily disregarded
as the ill-fated petitions. One could talk to him
personally but what will keep him from forget-
ting? Maybe you could gang up on him in a
dark corner . . .

Unfortunately, it seems that it is not only a
problem of poor communications but also a prob-
lem of lack of interest. The student body as a
whole could care less about what the Senate is
doing or has done as long as it doesn't cramp its
style any more than before. It is rare that a stu-
dent cares enough to take issue with his Senator
or the Senate on a proposed bill. It is rare that
a student even knows what the Senate is doing;
he doesn't bother to find out, even when it is
posted or published.

Perhaps the class Senators could give reports
on Senate activities at regular class meetings— if
his class has regular class meetings. Or, better
yet, there could be monthly S.G.A. meetings.
Since every student is a member of the S.G.A.,
this would be an opportunity to give complete
reports of administrative and social actions and
open proposals to the whole campus for consid-
eration and comment. Now all we would have to
work on would be getting the students to attend,
and we are back at the old apathy circle . . .
they won't come unless they're interested, they
won't get interested until they come.

We're stumped. All the students will do is
gripe, and two thousand mealy-mouthed whines
won't get us anywhere. If ther eis any concerned
party out there swamped under this indifferent
limbo of "Who Cares" let us know, because we
refuse to ignore the many problems of Student
Government and intend to not only talk but to do.

To The Editor

Alabamian Really Voice Of Students

Dear Miss Boyer:

You are to be warmly con-
gratulated for your editorial pol-
icy. For the first time since I've
been at Alabama College there
seems to be an open approach
to controversial issues. Editors
in the past have attempted just
such a policy but have failed
for lack of courage. Perhaps
students need no longer feel in-
hibited in voicing their own
opinions on issues which affect
them. If students fail to avail
themselves of the opportunity to
express themselves through the
letters to the editor column,
what recourse is open to them?
Can one individual effectively
present an issue before the ad-
ministration? Hardly, because the
approach often leaves the im-
pression of just one student re-
questing special consideration,
modification of a policy for his

own benefit, without any needed
change in the policy itself. The
paper this year promises to re-
flect the needs and opinions of
the students. For this reason it

may prove to be the first real
campus newspaper we've had in
years. Again, congratulations!
Sincerely,

Florence Robinson

Marine Ex-Student
Remembers A.C.

Dear Editor,

I was a student at A.C. in
January of this year. I joined
the Marine Corps in April and
now I am in Okinawa waiting
to go to the land of the "gooks"
and smelly rice paddies, to a sec-
tion known as the D.M.Z. (De-
Militarized Zone). There is quite
a difference in the atmosphere
of a dormitory and a classroom

Cast And Crew Praised
For First Theater Production

Alabama College Theatre again
offered excellent theatrical fare
on October 27 and 28, with a
finished production of Thornton
Wilder's brilliant comedy, "The
Skin of Our Teeth." Problems of
no mean magnitude present
themselves to the director-pro-
ducer of this strange mixture of
realism and fantasy. Character
representation, too, strains the
ability of the actors. The parts
call for a rather wide range of
emotional portrayals and a sort
of histronic agility not easy to
come by. Unusually large group
scenes, too, call for precision and
accurate time and delicate modu-
lation to achieve the excellent
effects which the College Thea-
tre managed under the sensitive
direction of Charles Harbour.

It was apparent that Mr. Har-
bour had efficient and enthusi-
astic assistance from all his
crew. There not being space
here to commend by name all
who were responsible for this
most successful production, we

will mention Clan Phillips for
his imaginative execution of the
sets and Willilee Trumbauer for
her attractive and suggestive
costumes.

It would be difficult to award
top laurel for acting in this per-
formance. Paula Owens portray-
ed the mercurial emotionality of
Sabina with verve and unflag-
ging freshness. Becky Britton
Thornton would be hard to beat
as the rather stole and general-
ly stodgy wife who could be,
with provocation, fogged into
quite positive, even possionate,
action. Gary McManls sensitive-
ly presented that strange mixture
of stupidity and creativity which
symbolizes man down the ages.
Susan Sheldon's "Gladys" was
consistently in character through-
out many appearances in which
it would, with less talent, been
possible— likely, I would say— to
lapse into Sheldon. Dick Good
played Cain-Henry with a ten-
sion and Intensity that delighted
the audience and must have been

and a company of Marines mak-
ing a beachhead. That is the
change I made in just a few
months.

A lot of my time is spent
reminiscing the good times I had
there. Some of the students
grumbled about the inconveni-
ences and the chow but they
have the easiest jobs and the
chow beats the chow we eat by
a lot.

I would like you to send me
a copy of The Alabamian if it
is possible and let me know how
the political and social life is
going.

This is just a short letter from
a Marine far away from his
home thinking about his school
days at A.C. Good luck to ev-
erybody.

John said that he "wouldn't
mind" if we wrote him, so ii
those of you who know him and
some of you who don't would

Back Sports And School

By David B. Phillips, Feature Editor

Who wants a football team at
Alabama College? I do. You do.
We are left behind in enrollment
and funds because our two major
schools, Auburn and the Univer-
sity, both have football teams.
We, unfortunately, cannot afford
one. There is more involved in
supporting a team than meets
the eye. Uniforms are a minor
element. Consider teachers,
coaches, buildings, transporta-
tion and the like. The cost is
staggering. There is one hope,
however.

We here at A.C. must support
our present intercollegiate teams.
We have a fine basketball team
and tennis anod cross-country,
golf, and baseball. How can the
administration give the O.K. for
football if we don't even support
our present teams?

We must now, this year shout
our support for a team. It is an
accepted fact that a team plays
harder and ultimately better if
they have a good backing. The
more people screaming approval
would stimulate our good men

that are not playing at all t
try out for the glory. With !
few really good teams the peo-
ple of Alabama would look to
and say, "They are a great
school. I wonder what they wouh
do with a football team?" Thii
would stimulate a flow of money
from government and alumni
alike and our goal would be
achieved.

The only neglected problem in
volved is time. This course o
action would take time and you
might say, "Why should I both-
er? I won't be here by then.'
Let me remind you that you
will always be close to thii
school. In jobs and private life
you will always comment on
A.C. and others will comment on
A.C. to you and perhaps judge
you by it. Your children will
probably go here, admit it .
we have a great school and
can be better if we show spirit,
Let's show it. The first basket-
ball game is soon. Let's unpack 1 1
that suitcase and get a date and
have fun while we push A.C. u]
another notch!

A VICIOUS CYCLE
By Bob Dinwiddie

The founders of our Republic
recognized that a democracy, to
be operable, must be based on
an educated citizenry. Alabama's
voters this week, by endorsing
the Wallace Regime for another
term, indicated that the state
has not yet reached that level
of education where real democ-
racy becomes possible. It will be
a long, long winter.

HOW STRANGE THE WORLD

How strange the world of a

student's life,
Where troubles exist without

dimension;
Where studies call for strict

attention,
And wars and poems cause

equal strife,
That can change and mould a

person's life.

IN CHAMPIONSHIP GAME— Sam Heidie pulls one in for 3rd Ram-
say as they went on to beat the Commuters 24-12.

In the Men's Intramural Foot-
ball Playoff games of October
31-November 2, Third Ramsay
captured once and for all what
they had been seeking all sea-
son—that number one spot! By
shaking off Third Napier 18-0,
and the Commuters, 24-12, die
"wild men" from third floor cap*
stoned an undefeated, once tied
championship year.

This team can attribute their
success to organization and de-
sire, but one cannot overlook
their fine personnel. Under the
leadership of their captain, Jack
Hopping, Third Ramsay display-
ed all the winning characteris-

tics of a championship ball club.

Congratulations once again to
the undefeated championship foot-
ball team of Third Ramsay (a

Cheerleaders
Elected

The eight 1966-67 cheerleaders
went through their grueling paces
Tuesday morning at Convocation.
The selection of the final eight
was posted Tuesday night. Sev-
eral weeks ago 42 girls began

tryouts for the coveted position
of Falcon Cheerleader. The fac-
ulty judges eliminated, with con-
siderable difficulty, all but 15 of
the girls. Then came the final
test— tryouts before the student
body. Judged on the basis of
appearance, coordination, team
spirit, jump, motions, eye con-

THE ALABAMIAN, Alabama College

Cowans Begin Tour
With Campus Concert

Yarbrough and Cowan, duo-pi
anists in residence at Alabama
College, presented the first per-
formance of their 196647 concert
season in Palmer Auditorium on
October 31. Part of the college's
Concert and Lecture Series, the
Cowans' performance exemplified
the high quality cultural events
held at Alabama College.

In their AC concert the Cowans
featured compositions by W. A.
Mozart, Claude Debussy, David
Gordon, Cyril Scott, and Witold
Lutoslawski. The Sonata for Two
Pianos by David Gordon of the
University of Missouri was writ-
ten especially for the Yarbrough-
Cowan team, and this perform-
ance was the composition's world
premiere.

The noted couple, who in pri-
vate life are Dr. Robert and
Joan Yarbrough Cowan, have
achieved national and interna-
tional acclaim as one of the most
outstanding duo piano teams on
the musical scene today.

Earlier this year they held a,
highly successful European tour
and are presently on tour in the
eastern and mid-western United
States. Concert stops on this
tour include Eutaw, Alabama;
West Point, Mississippi; De Bary,
Florida; Kansas City, Kansas;
Hartford, Connecticut; and New
York, New York. Next spring
they will be the first U.S. per-
formers to participate in the Cul-

Debate Team
With Thirteen

Eight members of the Alabama
College debate group participat-
ed in the Dixie Debate Tourna-
ment at Mercer University in
Macon, Georgia, October 28 and
29. They were among fifty-nine
schools from over the United
States to enter in the competi-
tion. They returned with thirteen
wins having defeated teams from
West Georgia, University of South
Alabama, Mississippi College,
Spring Hill College, Cumberland
College, University of Georgia,
Mercer U., South Georgia, Stet-
son U., and Rollins College.

Novice division, first place school
was the University of Alabama.

Library Fare

(Continued from Page 6)
Let me suggest another book
—just as atypical in its own
way. It will never be a best-
seller; it will seldom if ever give

birth to a footnote in a term
paper. It, too, is a social his-
tory: American Wags and Ec-
centrics from Colonial Times to
the Civil War, by Richardson
Wright. There is humor here, as
well, but humor typical of Amer-

tural Exchange Program long
established between Mexico and
all other Latin American coun-
tries, and will also engage in a
concert tour of Greece.

Robert and Joan Cowan were
married in London after their
graduation from the Royal Acad-
emy of Music where both re-
deived the Performer's L. R.
A.M. degree. Dr. Cowan conduct-
ed studies at Juilliard and the
Eastman School of Music, and
was a Fulbright Scholar at the
Royal Academy. Mrs. Cowan,
who made her first major ap-
pearance at age seven playing
the Beethoven First Piano Con-
certo, attended Oberlin Conserva-
tory and was a member of the
first junior class to study at the
famous Mozarteum in Salzburg,
Austria.

Unique is the word for the
Cowans' means of tour travel —
they carry their two concert in-
struments with them in a spe-
cially designed and custom built
trailer, which they tow behind
their car. In the October 1966
editions of the national maga-
zines Music Journal and High
Fidelity /Musical America, the
Cowans had feature articles about
their unusual procedure of car-
rying their pianos with them.
The Yarbrough-Cowan team and
their pianos plan to return from
their tour during Thanksgiving
holidays.

DELTA PLEDGES— First row, left to right, John Schmidt, Steve Durel, Colyn Bradley; second
row, Jack Hopping, Mike McHugh, Ray Glenn, Steve Quinn.

ica — uninhibited, obvious.

Mr. Wright elevates to immor-
tality certain individuals who
have no claim to history other
than their unusual habits or be-
liefs. There is Louise Baker, a
prostitute who became disgusted
with her profession and joined
the Marines in 1813. When her
true sex was discovered some
time later, she was honorably
discharged. And John Sutliff, a
miller, ordinarily a normal man,
who was obsessed with the no-
tion that the mountain behind
his house was a store-house of
gold and silver. Each day in
his spare time he dug from his
home toward the mountain. Rocks
and other obstacles caused de-
tours, and soon his tunnel mean-
dered all about the valley. He
dug each day until age stopped
him, but he never reached the
mountain.

Mr. Wright also inspects cer-
tain institutions in our history
that have heretofore been neg-
lected—the Barber Shop, for ex-
ample, and the Tavern. I learn-
ed such delightfully useless
things: what skittles are (beer
and, of course) and that you
could always tell the difference
between a Federalist and a Dem-
ocrat by the way he wore his
hair. The book's particular vir-
tue lies in its suitability to be
picked up at the odd moment,
opened at any page, read for a
moment or two, and put down.
If you don't want to read about
Free Love Valley, Pa., for ex-
ample, you can just skip that
part. Who's to care if you've
read every paragraph?

I can highly recommend Amer-
ican Wags and Eccentrics; there's
enough gentle humor and irrele-
vant information in it to amuse
almost any reader. But not Mov-
able Feasts. That's mine, please.

AELTA AETAILS

In order that the student body
may be informed and aware of
an organization which is pres-
ently functioning to its full capa-
city, the Delta Social Club will
contribute monthly an article of
this type. Not only do the Del-
tas wish to highlight their ac-
tivities, but they also hope to
indicate, by example, the oppor-
tunities for fun, brotherhood, and
service available to any social
club. Through the reading this
article, it is hoped that the en-
tire Alabama College campus
will learn to value the existence
of social clubs.

To be completely informed con-
cerning the Delta Social Club, it
is essential that one sees it in
relation to the entire campus and
not as an isolated group. To
strengthen the Delta's image of
being a vital and integral seg-
ment of life at Alabama College,
one merely needs to review their
activities so far this year.

The first Delta project for this
school year was directed to the
new freshmen. During their first
week on campus, the freshmen
were greeted with an attractive
sign of welcome each time they
entered the cafeteria.

The Delta's next project also
improved the atmosphere of the
college cafeteria, for they hung
a new and up-to-date plaque
which bears the names of all
their past and present members.

For the enjoyment of all the
students, the Delta's next ac-
tivity was a "game of baskets."
This event was held in the col-
lege gymnasium several weeks
ago. The Deltas played members

of the faculty in an hilarious
game of basketball. Each team
wore boxing gloves and the Del-
tas added to the amusement by
dressing up as odd characters.
One of their star players was
none other than Batman!

With the arrival of Drives
Week, the Deltas once again
seized the opportunity to serve
the school by conducting a fac-
ulty auction and donating all the
proceeds to Drives Week. The
success of this project would
not have been possible had not
the faculty supported the Deltas
as well as you, the students.
Thus it may be said that the
$108.00 contributed was given by
all who participated.

Recently rush week has con-
sumed the efforts and time of
the Deltas. A get-acquainted
smoker was held for all men
out for rush. After serious dis-
cussion the bids were decided
upon and the Deltas will be
pledging seven boys of whom
they are extremely proud.

These events previously men-
tioned are illustrative of the Del-
ta Club at work. Similar activi-
ties will follow throughout the
year with your support. To men-
tion a few events which are soon
upcoming: (1) a film of sports
highlights to be shown in Comer
Auditorium, (2) a candied apple
sale, and (3) a bonfire to help
begin our basketball season with
good school spirit.

Having enumerated the Delta
Social Club's projects, one may
readily see that their existence
is not solely for personal gain,
but also as a service to the
school of which they are a part.

THE GREAT PUMPKIN-Sophomore Sarah Redmond won a $25
bond for her original costume at the cafeteria Halloween party.

The Sigma Club of Alabama
College is extremely proud of
their newly elected "Pledge
Class". The Pledges for the Fall
Semester displayed their inter-
est in social clubs by going out
for rush. It was during this week
of rush that the three social
clubs on campus endeavored to
interest rushees in their respec-
tive organizations. In contrast
the clubs received a chance to
meet and get to know these men
better. After much discussion
and evaluation the clubs sent
"bids" to the rushees who were
considered to be the most de-
sirable and who t h e clubs
thought would best uphold their
respective ideals.

The Sigma Club sent out eight
bids and are proud to say that
all eight were accepted. It is
with great esteem that we in-
troduce our Fall Pledge Class of
1966: Steve Bailey, Sophomore;
Andy Odom, Sophomore; James
(J. C.) Rush, Sophomore; Eld-
ridge (Doug) McCay, Junior; Bob
Sternenberg, Junior; Bill (Goo-
fus) Gresham, Sophomore; Joe
Kinard, Sophomore; and Bob Mc-
Gurk, Sophomore. These men be-
gan their pledging program Mon-
day morning at 12:01 a.m. Our
pledges may be easily recognized
around campus by the paddles
that they carry. These Sigma
Paddles are not to leave their
sight and are always to be in
their immediate possession.

The Sigma Club expects many
things from its pledges: Scholar-
ship, Service, Dedication, Unity
and Attitude, to name a very
few. During this period of pledg-
ing the club gets a chance to
observe the qualities, both good
and bad, that need to be taken
into consideration before the
club if a pledge can live up to
the "Sigma Tradition." We are
proud of our prospective Sigmas,
and we, the Sigma Club, wish
to share our pride with all of
Alabama College.

Noted Scholar
Math, Physics

Eight years ago a distinguished
looking gentleman came to Ala-
bama College from Emory Uni-
versity in Georgia to take the
Chairmanship of the Math and
Physics Department. Dr. Daniel
R. McMillan gave three reasons
for leaving his position of Chair-
man at Emory to come to A.C.
One was that Dr. Phillips, then
President of A.C, was from Em-
ory, another was the increase in
pay (a very noble reason), but
by far the most important was
the more liberal curriculum of-
fered by the math department
here. In comparing the two
schools Dr. McMillan said that
it was almost impossible to get
a major in Math and Physics at
Emory; it sort of squelched the
imaginations of any potential
Einsteins, not to mention their
instructors.

Dr. McMillan, who received
his B.S. in Mechanical Egineer-
ing at Georgia Tech, his M.S.
in Physics at Emory and his
Ph.D. in Physics at the Univer-
sity of North Carolina, is far
from being a squelched instruc-
tor by any definition. He has
written about fifteen articles for
national scientific publications
such as "The American Journal
of Physics," "The Journal of
Chemical Physics," "The Acous-
tical Society of America Journal,"
and he wrote the Physics Lab
Manual used here and in many
other colleges in the Southeast.
His field of specialization and re-
search is infra-red spectrocopy,
ultrasonics and properties of
matter.

For two years Dr. McMillan
taught in high school where, in-
cidentally, he coached a cham-
pionship basketball team, then he
went back to Emory in 1933 as
an instructor in the math de-
partment. In 1952 he accepted
the Chairmanship of the Depart-

Tabares Speaks On
His Native Country

Horatio Tabares, an honor stu-
dent at Alabama College and a
former Cuban citizen, told more
than forty students attending
Monday night's International Re-
lations Club meeting about the
Communist takeover of his na-
tive country.

Tabares told of how the Cuban
people followed the Castro Revo-
lution and expected him to re-
turn Cuba to constitutional gov-
ernment. When the dictator, Ba-
tista, was ousted in 1959, how-

ever, Tabares told the group
that great changes took place in
Cuba.

Tabares' mother lost her job
as professor at Havana Univer-
sity because she refused to join
the militia. He told of how the
police held periodic searches of
everybody's homes and confis-
cated all valuables.

A resident of Alabama since
he came to the United States in
1961, Tabares criticized U. S. in-
volvement in Vietnam and sug-

To borrow from Matthew Arn-
old, books are "so various, so
beautiful, so new." I think it is
their variousness (yes, that's a
word) that is most appealing.

About two years ago, I hap-
pened upon a little book in the
library that doesn't fall into any
of these categories: it wasn't a
best-seller (it was published in
1952, and the library didn't even
bother to buy it until 1955), nor
will it ever be; no short-lived
"in" group will clutch it to its
breast; I can conceive of no
professor suggesting it to a stu-
dent, much less requiring it of
him. I think it was its unlikely
author and title that prompted
my interest: Movable Feasts: a
Reconnaissance of the Origins
and Consequences of Fluctuations
in Meal-Times with Special At-
tention to the Introduction of
Luncheon and Afternoon Tea, by
Arnold Palmer.

Arnold Palmer! Everything
about the book is misleading:
the author is not the Arnold
Palmer you and I know (who
Mr. Palmer is I was not able to
determine, but I assume he is an
obscure British social historian);
the title refers neither to our
"movable" holidays (such as
Easter) nor to Hemingway's sen-
timental recollections of Paris.
As the subtitle indicates, the
book is about the changes in
times of meals and eating habits.

As the subtitle does not indi-
cate, it is a veritable jewel of

gested that something should be
done to liberate Cuba.

The International Relations
Club has scheduled another meet-
ing November 21 at 7:00 p.m. in
Jeter Building.

This is Russ Kennedy of Balboa Island, California, on an in-port field trip as a student aboard
Chapman College's floating campus.

As you read this, 450 other students have begun the fall semester voyage of discovery with
Chapman aboard the s.s. RYNDAM, for which Holland-America Line acts as General Passenger
Agents.

MONTEVALLO

a book— a perfect example of
back-handed, understated British
humor. Mr. Palmer's personal
asides ("Meals, like women, have
lost their mystery." "The Di-
vorce Court had been establish
ed, in 1857, without the help of
afternoon tea.") make this most
unlikely topic the most delight
ful social history I have ever
read.

But I am not recommending
it to you to read. For some
reason, hidden deep in my sub-
conscious no doubt, I feel that
this is my own, private, person-
al, secret book, and I am not
anxious to share it. In the ele-
ven years it has been in the li-
brary, only three people have
checked it out: Dr. Golson in
1955, myself in 1964, and Wallace
Montgomery (Class of '66) in
1965. I was a little dismayed
at seeing Mr. Montgomery's
name on the card just now; did
he write a paper on social life
in England, or on the history
of eating habits? I think not;
let us assume that he thought
the book was Hemingway's Paris
memoirs of the same title. And
I am happy in the assumption
that he did not have the effron-
tery to read "my" book.

Is this intellectual snobbery at
its worst? Usually I not only
want people to read books, but
I am also painfully disappointed
when they do not read, or do
not enjoy what they read. Per-
haps it's that the book is atypi-
cal, and I liked it; if someone
else reads it and likes it too,
then I'm not as atypical myself
as I thought I was.

Mr., Miss A.C. Lead Elite
In Gala Elite Night 1966

Elite Night 1966 was held here
at Alabama College on November
19, in order to spotlight the
"Elite" on this campus. This
32nd annual wards presentation
honored students in fields of
leadership, scholarship, beauty
and other "plus" qualities of the
A.C. student body.
Capturing the coveted title of
Mr. and Miss Alabama College
were Rocky Stone of Selma and
Mary Kay Eddins of Mobile. The
twosome were chosen by the stu-
dent body and also selected by
their class as favorites.

Rocky Stone is a member of
the Sigma Social Club, on the
Executive Council of the S.G.A.,
and serves as a resident assist-
ant. He stated that he "has
learned his limit or capacity of
responsibility" and that all he
can do is try to increase it.
Mary Kay Eddins acted as

ICC Offers
All World
Seminar

In the fall of 1967 the Interna-
tional College in Copenhagen of-
fers a program known as "All
World Seminar" to all interested
students. Assisted by guest lec-
turers, the students, the principal,
and the director of ICC, Mr. Hen-
ning Berthelsen, will be working
together in a well-integrated, yet
informal and friendly group, ex-
ploring the contemporary geo-
graphical, economic, political, so-
cial, and cultural situations in
the various countries of our
world.

Another stimulating feature ir
the recent brochure for the sea-
son 1967-68 is an eight week
study tour in East-West relation-
ships — through the capitalistic
Scandinavian welfare states, the
socialistic Soviet Union, Rumania,
Hungary, Czechoslovakia and Po-
land and the divided city of Ber-
lin. ICC offers again this year
its traditional five week summer
session in Denmark and several
varied winter programs under
the name "Danish Seminar".

ICC is attempting to make se-
lected lectures, interesting field
trips and tours, pleasant excur-
sions, frank discussions, and so-
cial gatherings with young Dan-
ish people its means to accomp-
lish i t s goals: International
knowledge, understanding and
friendship. ICC is efficient in its
method and informal in its ap-
proach. ICC offers no scholar-
ships, but its programs are rea-
sonably priced.

Interested students are encour-
aged to write to:

THE ALABAMIAN, Alabama Collea

A Very Modest Proposal

In the upcoming Christmas season Hanson will
have one of the few open houses of the year
to show off the decorated doors inside. Aside
from College Night, this is the only time parents
and "gentlemen callers" are allowed past the
lobbies.

We know it would be too much to ask if the
dorms could be open all the time (at least in
the evenings after classes) as is now the prac-
tice in many, or most, of the larger, and not
necessarily more liberal, colleges and universi-
ties in the United States. Women can go to the
men's dorms to study and men can trot over to
see their girls any old time, and have the ad-
vantage of observing them in their natural habi-
tat (a good way to check up on a future mate's
housekeeping habits).

These same well-known institutions of higher

learning have also done away with that old
style-cramping curfew. Kids don't have to worry
about not making it in on time and having to
hunt down the Campus Police, and can go more
places, get a refreshing change from the movies,
Comer parking lot and the laundromat.

Now, knowing how hard the Senate is work-
ing and how busy the deans are, we respect-
fully ask, "Why can't we?" Maybe with a few
modifications these requests will not seem so far
fetched. How about no closing hours on week-
ends (Friday and Saturday), and open house at
least once a week (Sunday afternoon and eve-
ning, perhaps)?

Now that we have stated our cause we hope
that the students (that's YOU) will come to our
support and campaign for FREEDOM and STU-
DENT RIGHTS!

Who Are They Trying To Fool?

By David B. Phillips, Feature Editor

The Administration appears to be trying to
pull the wool over our eyes, and they are do-
ing a good job of it. There are certain contra-
dictions here at A.C. and neither the Adminis-
tration nor the puppet SGA are interested in
remedying it. There may be small steps in the
right direction, but these are merely tokens.

Let me be more specific ... let us read the
gospel on page 14 of the Fledgling. It states:
"A student at Alabama College upholds the honor
of the College by refraining from every form
of dishonesty in his college life, and by doing
all that is in his power to create a spirit of
honesty and honor on the campus." It follows,
"Every student registered at Alabama College
is a member of Student Government Associa-
tion and is, therefore, under the Honor System
and must abide by the above stated Honor
Code."

As freshmen, we read these words and vowed
to covet and cherish them for all time. We had
a feeling of warmth and security inside us and
we were proud to recite these golden words to
the upperclassmen who asked us for them du-
ring Rat Week.

As we followed the steps from day to day, we
lost sight of these vows, and as time inevitably
passed, we almost dismissed them. I said AL-
MOST . . . there are still those of us who re-
member the Code. The Deans remember and
every time we break a rule, it is a violation of
the Honor Code and we are damnable creatures
in their eyes. WE are charged with the re-
sponsibility of trying to undermine this great
tradition. I charge the ADMINISTRATION with
the decline of OUR Honor Code.

I do not say this without due regard to their
positions, and I do not say this without basis. If
my charges are false, I challenge the Adminis-
tration to deny them publicly, in print.

First, there is a contradiction regarding the
rules pertaining to the regulations of girls. The
girls must be in the dorm at certain hours, and
these doors are immediately locked so that
there will be no deceptions. The Administration
has girls in the dorm who are to check up on
them and make reports. If the girls are under
the Honor Code, then why lock the doors? The
Administration seems to undermine the Code

from the start

Secondly, the cheating situation is a widely de-
bated question here at A.C. Cheating is covered
quite well in the Fledgling. It refers to the Tap-
ping system. It states, "The Tapping system is
a method of cautioning students who have given
the appearance of obtaining aid during an ex-
amination. Any student who sees evidence of dis-
honesty on the part of a fellow student during
an examination should tap three times on the
desk to warn the offending student that his ac-
tions are suspicious and to warn the professor.
If the suspicious actions continue, the tapper
should repeat his warnings. If neither of the
warnings has been effective, subsequent action
is left to the tapper's discretion: To remind the
student to report himself; to report the incident
to the professor; to report to the Student Court."
We all know that after each examination, we
must affix a statement repeating our vows to
the honor code. Why bother to tap? Again, be-
fore we can even BEGIN to follow OUR Honor
Code we are stymied! If the Administration
wants us to follow it, then why don't they give
us a chance?

Thirdly, there is a sign on the entrance to
the College Book Store demanding that the stu-
dent leave books and coats outside. Is this let-
ting us follow the Honor Code?

I could go on, but already my stomach turns.
I suggest that the Administration revoke the
Honor Code ... or revoke their conflicting
rules and procedures. Our hope supposedly lies
in the SGA, but it was they who passed the
Pledge.

Freshmen with whom I have discussed the
Honor Code tell me that they tfre not impressed
with it, and it is this lack of respect for a fine
tradition that weakens my heart. I believe in it.
I believe it can work. I believe it is the only
way to have order. We are not fools, we the
students, and the Administration must try to
establish order and consistency regarding the
regulations of the students of A.C. I have faith
in the Admnistration that they act in our best
interests generally, but now is the time for a
unified study and IMMEDIATE remedies.
IS THE HONOR CODE DEAD?

EDITORIALS

To The Editor

Editorial Criticized

Dear Editor,

In regard to "A Vicious Cy-
cle" by Bob Dinwiddie; may I
initially say that I try very hard
not to bring personalities into
my comments on such, but with
these certain circumstances I
have found it most impossible
not to mention names and traits.

How can Mr. Dinwiddie be so
concerned about what our Found-
ing Fathers wanted and about
the implementation of a "real
democracy" when he, Mr. Din-
widdie, apparently does not be-
lieve in such government to be-
gin with? Anyone who adheres
to the policies of and publicly
supports and organization such
as the Communist inspired and
controlled CORE couldn't pos-
sibly care about furthering such
things as "real democracy," etc.
But, I shall continue under the
farcical impression that he is
concerned about these things.

What grounds does he stand on
when he states that because Ala-
bama voted Wallace, Alabama is
uneducated? Please, Mr. Dinwid-
die, explain this. Anyone can go
around making crackpot state-
ments with absolutely no basis.
I believe that Mr. Dinwiddie has
been taking a new-column writ-
ing correspondence course from
the Birmingham News, for this
sounds like something that they
might try to pull.

Mr. Dinwiddie also says in ef-
fect that a certain level of edu-
cation must be reached to un-
derstand and to obtain democ-
racy. Maybe this could also be

explained, for I know many
pie, some who never finished
the ninth grade, who vote
intelligence and carry out all
the duties of a good citizen,
certainly seems to me that
mocracy means far more to
peasants of the world than
the so-called educated ones. Yol
can not tell me that most of
"Freedom Fighters" of Hunga
were college graduates or
the courageous men and womej
of our Revolutionary days wei|
products of fine English univei
sities.

But there is one thing in
Dinwiddie's article that I
agree with him on. "It will
a long, long winter." Yes,
Dinwiddie, it will be quite lo
for the anti-war demonstrator!
for the "Fulbright for President)
supporters and for the sex
ve/ts of Berkeley. Yes, it
be quite long, because Alaba
has elected a Wallace again
now they are all running scar
thinking and realizing that Wa|
lace is leading a revolution ba
to the days when these misfij
did not have the influence
society as they do today. It
not only be a long winter,
to these maladjusted individu
and to the pinko-liberals who
them run wild, every day
be long and uncomfortable.

Rick Forsmi

Editor's Note: Profound obsf
vation of the week: "Anyone a
go around making crackp
statements with absolutely no b
sis." True, true. R.C.D.

No Choke In Election

Dear Editor,

Being a liberal, I share Mr.
Dinwiddie's discontent with the
outcome of the gubernatorial
race in this state. I cannot, how-
ever, bring myself to share his
pessimism. As I see it, the vot-
ers of our state had no choice
but to elect the "Wallace Re-
gime". I for one deplore the
idea of living in a state govern-
ed by a man who calls Mr. Wal-
lace a liberal. If the "intelligen-
sia" of our state believe that
Wallace is conservative to excess
they should study Mr. Martin's
ideas.

As for the long, long winter,"
consider the alternatives. If Mr.

Martin had been elected,
would have had a governor
was in effect powerless. On
other hand, if the succession
had been passed we would hi
had no governor at all, for
Wallace would have been av
campaigning for the Preside!
of the United States. As thii
stand now we will at least hi
someone around to sign bills
dedicate state docks and airpoi
In closing, I wish to pose
question to Mr. Dinwiddie in
due respect: What is "that
of education where real dem
racy becomes possible"
where has it been reached?

Justice For All

By Bob Dinwiddie

Late in the evening of January 3, 1966, Samuel
L. Younge, Jr., was shot to death in downtown
Tuskegee. Samuel Younge was a student at Tus-
kegee Institute, 21 years old, and active in civil
rights work. A Macon County grand jury return-
ed a second-degree murder indictment against
Marvin Segrest, a service station attendant. At
the pre-trial hearing on October 26, the attorneys
for Mr. Segrest asked that the trial be moved
from Macon County. They argued that their
client could not receive a fair trial there. Cir-
cuit Judge L. J. Tyner was convinced by the
attorneys and granted a change of venue to Lee
County. A court official said the trial would be
delayed until late spring. If we assume "late
spring" to be April or May, that will place the
trial 16 or 17 months after the killing. Realizing
that the law says that a trial shall be held in a
reasonable period following a crime, it seems
here that there is a strong danger that the crime
may well be forgotten before anyone is brought
to trial. This could only work in favor of one

person, the defendant. Surprised?

Early in the morning of November 20, 19
Earl Motley, a Negro, was arrested for drunk*
ness and resisting arrest by Elmore County IX
uty Sheriff Harvey Conner. Two state troop*
"helped" Conner make the arrest. It was abo

One can imagine what outcry there would
if, after the Negro Amerson is installed as M

Inable To Catch Up

elhaven Defeats Fighting Falcons

(Nov. 22.) The Falcons travel-
to Jackson, Mississippi, last
iiesday night, and with few ex-
ptions (slightly higher score,
nailer point spread, etc.), the
tie was a replay of the open-
loss to LaGrange; the Fai-
ns fell behind eleven points at
he half, and although outscor-
ing Belhaven 39-38 in the second
half, could not quite catch up.
The statistics were virtually even
in all but one category, the most
important one — field goals. Bel-
haven bagged thirty-one, while
the Falcons could only manage
twenty-four; this proved to be
the difference. The final score
was 79-69 in favor of Belhaven,
who had all five starters i.i
double figures; the Falcons had
only two in double figures. Jun-
ior college transfer Mark Riggins
led the way for A.C. with nine-
teen points, with Marshall Kill-
ingsworth adding ten; Henry
Ezell had nine, followed by Dan
Nelson and Wayne Everett with
eight each. Riggins had six and
Nelson had five to lead the club
in rebounds. For Belhaven, New-
ell tossed in twenty, followed
closely by Shaw with eighteen,
and Chase with fifteen; Lee and
Felsher had ten apiece. Felsher
and Newell had nine rebounds
each to lead Belhaven in that de-
partment.
The loss makes the Falcons

0-2 so far this year. Mark Rig-
gins and Henry Ezell are averag-
ing 11.5 points per game to lead
the Falcons, followed by Mike
Killimet with a 10.0 average.
However, at this point, these do
not mean much either way; they
can fluctuate greatly this early
in the season. On paper, the
club doesn't seem to be doing
badly at all — take away the first
halves and they could very well
be 2-0. However, results are nev-
er altered by ifs, so it is up to
the Falcons to get the results on
the court, and leave it to the
other team to think of the ifs.
The team gets a chance to rec-
tify this situation tomorrow night
against the same LaGrange team
that defeated them some two
weeks ago. Game time is 7:30.

Intramural Basketball

By Wesley Stanard

Intramural basketball is in full swing here on the Alabama Col-
lege campus. Several of the teams have already played five games
of their ten game schedules. One thing has become evident during
these first few weeks: The league is more balanced this year than
last year, when Second Ramsay went undefeated, and won the
championship. An undefeated team this year is already an impos-
sibility since all of the teams have tasted defeat at least once.
Second Ramsay is 2-2 at this stage, having been weakened greatly
by the loss of such stalwarts as Roy Green, Steve Quinn, Ron
Smith, and Gary Tolbert, who all played prominent roles in last
Year's success story. From last year's champs, only Jess Rawls and
John Thompson return. Therefore, it is almost a certainty that a
new champion will be crowned come January.

It is too early in the season to pick any clear-cut favorites;
however, it is a good bet that such teams as Third Napier (4-1),
first Napier (3-1), and the Commuters (3-1) will be up near the
top all reason long. At the present time, however, other teams to
keep an eye out for are First, Second and Third Ramsay, and
Second Napier.

There are several players who excel each week during the sea-
son, in the past the value of the players themselves has been
Passed over and forgotten. This is not right because the program
'* for the players, and they should get just as much recognition
a « the program itself. THE ALABAMIAN Sports Staff feels that
outstanding play should be rewarded; therefore, it will be the prac-
tice throughout the season to pick an Intramural Player of the
Week. Sharing the honor for the week of November 7 are Jerry
Stephens and Freddy Guy of the Commuters, who scored 45 and
*3 points respectively in their two games. Among those also out-
standing were Daryll Baygents (Third Napier), Ron Smith (First
Ramsay), and Carl Dennis (Second Napier).

Falcon Outlook

By Wesley Stanard

The Alabama College Falcons face a rather awkward situation
as they enter the 1966-67 basketball season, their third intercollegi-
ate competition in that sport. In the first place, the team has not
existed long enough to have the firmly established program that
winning teams must have; on the other hand, it is made up of
boys who have a great deal of ability, and who possess great po-
tential for seasons yet to come. As time goes on, the situation be-
comes less and less awkward as the program and the boys mature
together. The program is coming along nicely, but, as almost al-
ways is the case with a new team, there has been a huge turn-
over in personnel from year to year. On this year's team, for ex-
ample, there is not a single player remaining from our very first
team two years ago, and there were only three or four on last
year's team. Nevertheless, the team was able to improve on the
previous year's mark (9-16 as compared with 5-9). The question
facing this year's team is whether they can continue this improve-
ment.

At this point, it appears that they will have an extremely hard
time doing so. Dr. Leon Davis, coach of the Falcons, who along
with the team is beginning his third year in collegiate ranks, feels
that this is the case. Although Dr. Davis agrees that the team is
more experienced than last year's, he points out that compared
with their opponents, they will still be on the short end of experi-
ence. Another problem is the hardest schedule in the school's
three year history — such perennial powers as Huntingdon, Troy
State, Athens, Jacksonville, and Belhaven. A high point of this
year's schedule is a game with the Uruguay National team on
February 3. This may lead to a foreign tour for our Falcons in
several years. This development coupled with playing less games
this year (21 vs. 26 last year) adds little to Falcon hopes for an
improved record.

However, Coach Davis feels that they CAN have a good team
if they want to bad enough. He says the moment that they become
a good team is entirely up to them.

FALCON "RAH! RAH!" SQUAD— Alabama College's basketball
team will play its first match before a home crowd this season
when it meets LaGrange College at the Montevallo campus Friday
night. On hand to head up the Falcon rooting section in the home
opener at 7:30 p.m. will be this year's cheerleader crew: (from left,
front), Barbara Butler, Tampa, Fla.; (center row), Jeannie Minor,
Leeds; head cheerleader Cheri Herren, Fayette; Jenny Lind, Bir-
mingham; (top), Diane Dawson, Birmingham; Earlena Peterson,
Montgomery; Marti Alfano, Birmingham; and Apple Kridakorn,
Birmingham. The Falcon schedule this season includes eleven home
games and ten road matches in regular season play, plus Alabama
Collegiate Conference basketball tournament at Athens College on 1
Feb. 23-25. (AC Sports Photo by Steve Huffstutler.) '

3-3 Record

Cross Country
Season Ends

Alabama College's hard work-
ing cross-country team finished
up the season with a 3-3 record
to shew for its efforts. Compet-
ing in the Alabama Collegiate
Conference, the team has run
against such teams as Marion,
Troy, and Livingston.

Finishing up the season with
the team were: Sid McLaughlin,
Joe Mallory, Junior Murray, Mac
Pitts, Luke Anastasakis, and Ron
Robbins. The veteran Sid Mc-
Laughlin was, in Coach Joe Ruff-
ner's words, "the team's real
leader."

Coach Ruffner also stated that
plans were presently being made
for intramural competition in
cross-country for the spring. It
is hoped that a certain amount
of interest will be created among
the student body in cross-country
by its introduction into intramu-
rals.

came on to hand the seniors their
first disappointment of the tour-
nament. With both teams bear-
ing the strain of one loss each,
the tension was really high in
the final round— but the freshmen
must be too young to under-
stand the meaning of "strain",
because they poured it on with
confidence and emerged from the
final three games victorious.

The fighting frosh have proved
once again that this is indeed

the "freshman generation," and
they are taking their deserved
places in every level of the AC
society. But, upperclassmen, don't
give up yet— get your heads up
off your chests, be humble, and
try to regain your lost confi-
dence, because the basketball in-
tramurals will begin soon. Even
though the freshmen will be out
to win this event, too, they will
appreciate the competition. But,
for gosh sakes, sports, DON'T
GIVE UP!

Irony and Paradox
An Essay On School Spirit

By Bill Rohr

Alabama College students are
it prone toward apathy. This
demonstrated last year when
percentage of A.C. students
mating to the blood drive set
national high mark. Thus there
ipears to be a paradox in the
ict that A.C. students don't
lally show much school spirit
ten basketball season comes
ound. What then is the prob-
? Could it be that A.C. stu-
mts can't get excited about
iketball? The wild enthusiasm
lown at last year's Purple &
ild basketball games seems to
: ute this possibility. The yell-
of either the Purple or Gold
ipporters would have been suf-
ficient to frustrate any other stu-
dent body which A.C. confronted
last year.

Perhaps we can find the solu-
tion by comparing our activities
prior to College Night with those
activities which take place prior
to basketball season. The obvious
difference is the great efforts on
campus to generate interest and
participation in College Night.
This great effort is followed up
by many meetings where cheers
are learned, and enthusiasm and
spirit built up.

Could it be then, that a couple
of good pep rallies would give
our campus some real school
spirit?

Again a paradox, the answer is
yes and no! Pep rallies have
been tried before, but with only
mediocre results. Why? Because
we didn't show up for them.
Again why? Because many stu-
dents seem to believe that you're
only supposed to support a win-
ning team. Herein lies the irony
—some of the basketball players

say that a winning team is im-
possible without the support of
an interested student body. It
makes sense really: after all,
apathy is contagious. But fortu-
nately, so is enthusiasm. This
can be seen in the early history
of Banks ' High School in Bir-
mingham when she lost more
athletic events than she won, but
was acknowledged as having
more school spirit than any of
her rivals. This spirit played no
minor part in pushing the young
school to several city and state
championships in basketball and
football.

I would like to see that kind
of school spirit here at Alabama
College. Our student body could
set a precedent of school spirit
which might prevail as a tradi-
tion of the school.

If the student body and faculty
would show their support and
enthusiasm by attending the bas-
ketball games, and the pep ral-
lies which precede them, our
campus would be entirely dif-
ferent. With school spirit comes
a unity of purpose that we've
never had before on this campus.
This would result in a massing
together of all the various sub
groups which characterize our
campus. This unity would give
a feeling of pride and belonging
which you probably remember
from high school but have found
missing here at Alabama College.

The challenge is before you
along with the goals to be achiev-
ed. Will you take the challenge?
I hope so! If you do, I will see
you at the first on-campus game
Dec. 2. If not, you will know that
you have been left behind when
you hear us cheering for our
team.

Sigmas

Spotlighted

The Sigma Club of Alabama
College is very proud of the re-
cent achievements off our Beta
Chapter at the University of Cor-
pus Christi in Corpus Christi,
Texas. This chapter was founded
by Bob Hewes, a former mem-
ber of the Sigma Club at Ala-
bama College.

The Beta Chapter of Sigma had
the highest scholastic average on
the university campus. Further-
more, they scored the most points
in the recent Greek Week com-
petition at the University. Also,
this chapter has recently installed
a color television in the frater-
nity house. This chapter is truly
living up to the Sigma tradition.
The Alpha Chapter at Alabama
College is tentatively planning a
trip to Corpus Christi to visit
the Beta Chapter.

Although all three social clubs
on campus were well represented,
the Sigma Club is especially
pleased with the honors extended
to several members in the 1966-
67 Elite Night program. Rocky

Stone received the highest honor
available to a male student at
Alabama College, Mr. A.C. Rocky
was also chosen Senior Class Fa-
vorite. President Jack Hawkins
was chosen "Who's Who in
American Colleges and Universi-
ties," and Elite in the Political
Science Department. Jack was
also nominated for Mr. A.C. and
Senior Class Favorite. Fred
Crawford, James Hayes, and
Andy Meginnis were nominated
for Junior Class Favorite. Larry
Pharo and Bill Cobb were nomi-
nated for Sophomore Class Fa-
vorite. The Sigma Club again
congratulates Rocky Stone, Mr.
A.C. and Senior Class Favorite,

for his outstanding record of
dedication and service to the
club and Alabama College.

Blood Flows On

A. C Campu

Student directors of the blood

Alabama College campus are de-
lighted at the turn-out of stu-
dents, faculty and staff members
that broke a record set last
year. They are disappointed,
however, that so many others

led away late in the day.

\fter the doors were closed
totals taken, some 347 pints
blood had been given, topping
jthe 1965 record of 323 pints. Al-
gether, around 400 people were
cessed through the waiting

ed Cross officials praised AC
students for their efforts in this
ear's drive. Roscoe Whatley,
ector of the Birmingham area
:ed Cross chapter, noted that
(lAlabama College's "outstanding
ir support" began last year, "du-
ai ting our appeal for blood for the
A armed forces.

"Although we have fulfilled
our contract to the armed
* forces," he said, "AC students
again gave blood, this time for
su the ill and injured in civilian,
'military and veterans hospitals
!a m the Birmingham region."

He added that the Red Cross
is "grateful for this support, es-
pecially at this time of the year
ia when blood donations tend to de-
crease." He cited the college for
"setting an outstanding record —
I "one which will surely be an

first semester on campus or as
a cumulative average for the en-
tire freshman year. Members
are active during their Sopho-
more year.

Miss Sara Puryear, faculty
sponsor, and Mrs. Adelaide Paty,
Dean of Women, commended the
new members on their outstand-

that this honor follows on through
life. It is hoped that the present
freshmen women will recognize
the achievements of these mem-
bers and will strive to place
their names on the honor list
this year.

Amari Chosen
To Lead Class

Donning their thinking caps,
the Freshman Class voted for
their favorite candidates in the
class elections November 22. All
the candidates ran a good race,
making it difficult in most cases
to pick ony one person as the
winner.

In the presidential election,
John Amari won out over his
two opponents, Wayne Drury
and Charlie White, in a closely
fought race. John gained a slight
edge when he was elected Fresh-
man Favorite, Elite Night. A
graduate of Banks in Birming-
ham, John plans to work with
the Freshman Class to make it
"as successful as possible."

The second place on the totem
pole was taken by Joe Taylor.
Joe, running against two femi-
nine opponents, Pat Luker and
Mary Jane Hackney, ran on a
platform of support to whomever
the class elected as their presi-
dent.

In contrast to the other races,
the treasurer's and secretary's
races were sewn from the
start by Bill Sumner and Linda
Johnson, respectively. Being un-
opposed, they were assured of
victory; yet both strove to prove
to the class that they were qual-
ified condidates for the positions.

The Freshman Class will be
represented in the Senate this
year by Charles Stewart, Mack
Lyell and Jim Cole, who won
over Rod Powers and Leiland
Gray for Senate seats. The Sen-
ators stated that they plan to
give the Freshman Class a strong
as voice as possible in the stu-
dent government.

EDITORIALS
Criticize All You Want, But . .

Running a newspaper is not
the easiest, most fun or least
ulcer-producing way of mak-
ing fame and fortune, but
struggle we will and do. So
it is easy to see why every
little word of praise and sup-
port brings such joy to our
face and why every honest
criticism (and we have in-
vited much) is seriously considered, accepted
and, usually, acted upon in some way or another.
We are, of necessity, rather even-tempered, and
not given to temper fits over any due criticism
that we may receive, but there are times when
even the gods must thunder.

So be it when we are knifed in the back. We
have received many letters registering disap-
proval of some stand taken by ourself or our
editors because of error, mis-information or just
plain differing of opinion. These we welcome
and print in full if possible (we can't risk a li-
bel suit, of course). What really hurts is when
we HEAR that so-and-so, a person in a "position
of authority on campus" was very '"disappoint-
ed" with the last issue, usually with the edi-
torial page in particular.

We very much would respect "so-and-so's"
opinion, but we can't find out just exactly who is

is or what "position of authority" he happens
to hold. How can you expect an editor to listen
to a ghost writer's tale of someone else's dis-
pleasure, and not fume? Why can't they come
tell us themselves, or write a letter, instead of
resortion to behind-the-back tactics? Are they
afraid? Surely someone in a "position" has as
much or more power than ourself, and should
have nothing to fear. I mean, if we have enough
guts to write (and print) some of the stuff we
do, then surely someone in the know should
have enough guts to correct us when we are
wrong, TO OUR FACES!

Now in the last issue the administration was
delivered a direct challenge in regard to the
much disputed Honor Code. Did we ever hear
from them? Nary a word, only rumors that
someone was displeased. Rumors! Nothing tang-
ible. Maybe they think that if they ignore it
long enough it will go away, well, it won't. We'll
keep on pegging out our "Why?"s until someone
answers, and if they don't then I guess we'll
"why" forever. This seems to be the fate of ev-
ery question by every student press but this
student press isn't goiing to let apathy (my, that
word seems to pop up quite a lot around here)
shut us up or tone us down. At least someone
is alive, and we're hollering! — N. E. B.

Hey You! . . . American!

There is a new organization in the news. This
organization has no affiliations, no religious ties,
nor any political backers. The group is composed
of many students, in high school and college
who want to save freedom in America and are
doing their best to promote a spirit of faith here
in the U. S. I am speaking of the "Youth Free-
dom Speakers." The group originated in Dallas,
under the general supervision of the millionaire
H. L. Hunt. Students have expanded in that area,
and are now working in various parts of the
U.S., with hopes to expand into every city. Let
me repeat that this is a spontaneous outcry to
the needs of the student generation to do some-
thing in a positive direction.

The function of these Freedom Speakers is to
prepare a 3 minute speech concerned with the
rigid hold on freedom and deliver it to any or-
ganization willing to hear it. It is surprising to
some that these students have an over-abund-
ance of offers to speak. They speak at club meet-
ings such as Rotary, Kiwanis, Lodge meetings,
Ladies auxiliaries, etc. Churches are a popular
supporting structure as far as providing a place
to speak.

These speeches are not propaganda-type speech-
es. These speeches are well prepared and pro-
American, but are not to support Capitalism, or
Socialism, or Communism, nor any -ism we might
dream up . . . these speeches, given by youths
are solely to remind Americans that our BASIC
freedoms are to be protected and given serious
thought, not just going along with the guy next
to yod.

The advisor in Dallas has given me the informa-
tion needed to make the function even more
clear, and we shall have a YFS chapter in Mon-
tevallo. Anyone interested in helping with the
YFS is urged to contact Box 1938, Alabama Col-
lege. The group will need counselors and speak-
ers. Anyone interested in doing something con-
structive and out of the class "Leftist and
Rightist" and who wants to be in the "Ameri-
can" group should get more information.

Incidentally, for the general information, no
results AT ALL were seen regarding the prob-
lem of soot on the campus or the conflicting
points concerning the Honor Code and Adminis-
tration regulations. It seems that apathy is con-
tagious.

Bah! Humbug!

By Royce Jordan

I think it's time that some of our people around campus grew
up and started acting like adults. They will soon be expected to
take over responsibilities that are in a totally different world from
the one they now know. It's wonderful to talk about idealism and
equality but face facts; there ain't no such.

Idealism is suited perfectly to a college atmosphere. It should
be started there and left there. Idealism is not respected in the
world at large. Sure, your parents spoon feed it to you, your
teachers ram it into you, your reverend preaches it, but no one
actually believes or practices it. They are too smart.

To give you an example of idealism, let's take President John-
son. Poor Mr. Johnson is picked on incessantly but he's well known
and handy.

He preaches idealism. He talks good. Talk is cheap. How do
you think he keeps the economy up? Not with his belt. He does it
with a war that may destroy his hopes for the next election. He
did it by recalling most of the silver in circulation in the shape oi
coins. That made everyone mad because most vending machines
reject the new "Johnson money." How do you think he won the
election anyway? By his looks?

The world is not made for idealism. Sorry about that The
world is made of deals and compromises, who you know and don't
know, ambition and greed, wants and needs. Some people will try
to tell you this is not so but don't be fooled. Nine times out of
ten the person who says it isn't so is the one you have to watch.

Many people will say it isn't so and point to the many ex-
amples of good winning over bad because of some idealistic de-
sign. But look under the example; look around it; tear it apart.
Invariably you'll find that an idealistic framework has been thrown
up either by historians or the ones who had something to gain
from the venture.

The metal industries make mints out of war as do many other
concerns. That's idealistic? To make money on other men's deaths?
The depletion of our natural resources is occurring rapidly. War
helps.

And so as it doesn't seem that I'm protesting against our hon
orable war in Viet Nam, I'm not, I'll quote other examples. Som
day when you get a job and some guy gets promoted ahead o:
you who doesn't have a college degree, go look up his recon
Find out who his references were and find out which one of the:
is his uncle or cousin or brother. If you don't find it there gi
look up the board of directors. His promotion will be somewheri
there.

It's best you know now. No use to get cynical when it happens
either. Take it with a smile and say, "That's the world." You
could try to undercut people or "destroy" them but it's really us
less. You're an idealist, you haven't had the training. You don
know how to shout and grovel appropriately. You're not used to
eating a little dirt just to watch somebody else eat it later. You're
used to asking for things instead of taking them. You haven't
been hungry enough.

But even thought most college students are behind in their
real-life training, you'll fall in line nicely by the time you're thirty
You'll see some real ' dirt slung and some swinging deals no mat-
ter where you work. And you'll respect the devil out of the dirty,
basic, conniving president of the company. He's at the top, a place
you'll probably never get to in the outside world. After all, it'
the American Way.

Christmas Vacation

By Bob Dinwiddie

The Christmas vacation for Alabama College students begins
next Wednesday. The mid-winter hiatus is twelve days this year.
Many students will make use of the vacation period to take
much-needed respite from books and papers. Others will use the
time to hit the books in a valiant effort to catch up in those courses
neglected since Thanksgiving. And everyone will attend Christmas
parties, perhaps seeing a few friends for the first time since Sep-
tember. And, of course, there will be the ubiquitous relatives.

The weather may not be the best here. And some students
will be going north, where the weather will most probably be even
worse. We now have 2300 (full-time equivalent) students enrolled*
and The Alabamian staff hopes to see 2300 healthy students back
in school on January 3. So be careful!

And somewhere, sometime, pause a few moments in your busy
holiday schedule and give a few serious thoughts to what the
vacation is all about.

Who Votes For What?

By Nancy E. Boyer, Editor-in-Chief

It has been noticed by ourselves and quite a few
acquaintances that the voting system used here
at A.C. is a little less than adequate. One may
happen to wander in at lunch and notice a table
laden with white ballot boxes and presided over
by a senator facing the door. One then curiously
wanders over to see what is being voted on and
if one is eligible to vote in this particular poll.

These votes have not been previously announc-
ed within ear-range and the posters, if any, are
pale ghosts lurking behind the glass doors of
the bulletin boards, and hardly noticeable.

It is also noted that the votes are okayed by
meal-ticket numbers. This and the fact that the

polls are always in the cafeteria, makes it
tually impossible for the commuting students
cast a vote, even if they happen to know about
the election beforehand.

We think, and submit our recommendation to
the student government, that the polls should
be held in the Student Union Building, because
EVERYBODY goes there at least twice a day to
check the mail and the commuting students live
there between classes; and that the I.D.'s be
marked (a different colored ink for each election)
instead of checking meal-tickets. In this way
more students will be able to vote and thus more
interest will rise for student offices and acUvitii

Forsman Renews Attack
On Alabamian Editorials

Editor:

Initially, may I assure you that
I am not attempting to monopo-
lize the student editorial column
but recently I have found it most
impossible to react mutely to
some of the radical opinions ex-
pressed on your editorial page.
In the last issue of The Alabam-
ian I found all of the staff edi-
torials interesting and typical of
the small minority liberal fac-
tion on our campus. Though some
may argue with me about the
liberal faction being in a small
minority, may I assure them that
there are not as many as they
might think. They just show up
more than the normal students.
After seeing someone standing in
the cafeteria line with a sur-
plus army sack hanging over its
shoulder for decoration or seeing
one of them with hair growing
all over his head and face, the
impression seems to stay with
you for a while. (I am not op-
posed to long hair or beards as
long as they are neat and well-
kept.) Though I would like to
make it clear that in my opinion
not all of our liberals are as I
described above. Some of them
are very friendly, normal look-
ing and clean. The only differ-
ences are their political, eco-
nomic and religious beliefs. But
on to the editorials.

First, Miss Boyer, though no
one signed the article entitled
"A Very Modest Proposal", I
was informed by a staff member
that it was your masterpiece. I
agree with you on certain points.
We do need more open houses
for parents and friends. We do
need a somewhat slacker cur-
few and restriction regulations,
though not greatly altered. But
this is the extent of our har-
mony in thinking. I quote you:

To The Editor,

In an article, "Justice For
all," Mr. Dinwiddie takes two
fractions of the law (the Se-
est case and the Motley case)
id attempts to distort them un-
they represent all justice.
*en the title reeks with the
tncid odor of a crusade for all
the people who have fallen
under the rusty wheels of a sof
"lied justice. Under the head-
'«g "Justice For All," Mr. Din-
widdie, lance in hand, manages
to take two incidents and exag-
gerate them until it appears that
™l justice (at least in Alabama)
>s nothing but legal prejudice, or
Prejudice in court clothing.

5 Let us look, first, at the Se-
8rest case. Mr. Segrest was in-
a 'cted by the grand jury for
second-degree murder (he killed
Samuel Younge, a Negro). Mr.
Brest's lawyers felt that a less
Prejudiced trial could be held if
* n e trial was moved from the
county where the crime was
pommitted to a county of enutral-
v - Due to this movement the
Willi date was delayed 16 to 17
months. It is Mr. Dinwiddie's as-
sumption that this delay in the
vv ' al , da te (quote) "could only
or k m favor of one person,
J}? defendant." However, Mr
"'"vviddie fails to see that this
j ,a was not purposely delayed
f P J° 17 month s to aid the de-
e ndant, but was, in fact, the
^''est time that the trial could

"Women can go to the men's
dorms to study and men can
trot over to see their girls any
old time, and have the advantage
of observing them in their nat-
ural habitat (a good way to
check upon the future mate's
housekeeping habits)." Miss Boy-
er, college is not a mate-maich-
ing club. It is a place of higher
education. The students have
plenty of time during the day
and early night to observe their
mate anywhere on campus. The
dorms are a place of residence
used mainly for studying. The
Tea House, sidewalks, and num-
erous parking lots are available
for socializing. The old Tea
House, Comer, Bloch, Student
Union Building, and library are
available when it is necessary
for "future mates" to be to-
gether for studying. Opening the
dorms for such a use seems to-
tally unnecessary. And you en-
ter your proposal behind the ban-
ners of "FREEDOM" and "STU-
DENT RIGHTS". I am sure that
most students will recognize
these words of rally from other
college campuses wel! known to
the world. These exact words
were recently used in the stu-
dent disturbances oi Berkeley
and have been shouted at almost
every university anti-war demon-
stration in the country. Are you
calling for "STUDENT RIGHTS"
or "STUDENT RIOTS"? On oth-
er mentioned campuses these
phrases are synonymous.

And to Mr. Phillips: In regard
to your article, "Who Are They
Trying to Fool?", may I ask
you the same question. Sure we

How To
Retaliate

Dear Editor:

Lately there has been some
controversy about The Alabam-
ian's editorial views. As Direc-
tor of Communications I feel it
my duty to express the views of
some students, whether the ma-
jority or not. The Alabamian
staff was appointed by the "elect-
ed editor" of the paper. The
views they express are their own
and they have the right to do
so. If the students of A.C. dis-
agree with these views they have
three choices: (1) Ask the edi-
tor if you may write for the pa-
per, (2) write letters to the edi-
tor expressing your views, (3)
run for the position of editor of
the paper yourself. "Action
speaks louder than words."

Fred C. Crawford,
Director of Communications

have an Honor Code, rules and
regulations, and people to check
on their enforcement, and we
have them because humans art
not perfect and completely moral.
Without some way to check on
students these regulations would
in some cases be completely
useless. It would be like having
state and local laws with the
hope that the citizens will obey
but without having a police to
enforce them and punish when
the laws and regulations are
broken. Again, this same prin-
ciple applies to your criticisms
of the tapping system and Book
Store regulations. It sounds as
if you want to start something
along the same lines as Miss
Boyer. "FREEDOM" and "STU-
DENT RIGHTS", this is good
and fine, but I hope that both of
you realize that before "FREE-
DOM" and "STUDENT RIGHTS"
can be served on a platter with
toothpicks inserted for easy con-
sumption, "STUDENT RESPON-
SIBILITY" must be asserted.

Hello again to you, Mr. Din-
widdie. "Justice For All" is your
gift of the week, I believe, and

Fight Cause
Not Writer

Dear Editor,

In regard to the recent letter
of Mr. Rick Forsman and to
the editorials of Mr. Bob Din-
widdie, I would like to raise this
question: What has happened to
the right of an individual to his
personal beliefs? Must we all be
either liberal or conservative?
Whatever happened to the "Gold-
en Mean"? Must we all be either
on the extreme left or right?

I believe that one must have
the right to stand on the middle
ground. One should be able to
choose what one believes in from
both sides and out of this mix-
ture come up with one's own
ideas on any subject. I am sick
and tired of the idea that if one
believes in a single ideal from
the left or from the right one
is automatically a "pinko-liberal"
or an uneducated "Wallacite." I
believes in the right of one's pub-
lic expression of one's ideals
without these immature attacks
on one's character.

In closing I would like to say
that I personally enjoy reading
both sides of the liberal-conserva-
tive battle in The Alabamian.
But please can't we be critical
of an issue or ideal in a more
mature way than resorting to at-
tacks on the individual!

Sincerely,

Dan Bailey

Dear Editor:

The Student Government has
recently been subjected to attack
from various sources as being in-
effective, not representative of
the student body, and a puppet
of the administration. If such is
the case, I would be the first
to agree that these conditions be
exposed and corrected. This
seemingly is the purpose of re-
may I clarify a bit concerning
your writing. It seems that both
of the major points of dissatis-
faction with Alabama's adminis-
tration of justice have, since your
writing, been well accounted for.
Your accusations were prema-
ture.

First you stated that the trial
of Marvin Segrest, a 68-year-old
service station attendant, for the
murder of Samuel Younge, 21-
year-old civil rights agitator, was
to be held in late spring. You,
therefore, concluded that the
crime allegedly committed would
be forgotten before anyone was
brought to trial. As you most
probably realize, the trial started
December 7, not quite late spring,
or even officially winter. You
most obviously were misinform-
ed. And of course, since your
writing, the State Toxicologist
has released the information con-
cerning the death of the Negro,
Earl Motley, on November 20,
1966. As he said he would do,
he made a thorough investigation
with a complete report taking
about a week and a half. Here
again, your eagerness to stir
emotions resulted in premature
misinformation.

And I would like to conclude
with a sentence that is beginning
to be well-used among us. "Any-
one can go around making crack-
pot statements with absolutely no
basis." But I would like to add
just a little more this time. Any-
one can give only part of the
facts with suggestions leading to
gross misconceptions.

abl. ' S within ( 1 uote ) "a reason-

artir u from Mr " Dinwiddie's

Q ate in accordance with the

court calendar. If the court cal-
endar is filled at "a reasonable
period following the crime" then
the court must delay the trial
to suit its own convenience, not
the defendant's. Besides, what is
"a reasonable period following
a crime"? Please explain.

Now, we come to the Motley
Case. On the morning of Novem-
ber 20, 1966, Earl Motley (a
Negro) was resisting arrest for
drunkenness. Two state troopers
(white) helped the arresting of-
ficer (also white) make the ar-
rest. About three hours after the
arrest Motley's corpse was tak-
en from his cell and sent to a
funeral home. State Toxicologist
C. J. Rehling said, "It's custo-
mary to take whatever time is
needed. And that's what we'll
take." Mr. Dinwiddie makes it
appear that the state toxicologist

is trying to aid the two state
troopers who committed the
crime against Mr. Motley. He
(Mr. Dinwiddie) makes it appear
that the toxicologist is delaying
to (quote) give everyone "time
to forget maybe." Mr. Dinwid-
die does not seem to realize that
every organization, even the
state troopers, have a few peo-
ple who try to use their position
for their own purpose rather
tha nfor the good of the people
they serve. The two officers pre-
sented in his article are two
such people. These officers, I'm
glad to say, represent a minor-
ity; but Mr. Dinwiddie tries to
make it appear that these two
officers represent all of the state
troopers. Mr. Dinwiddie also
leaves out one very important
fact, the state troopers were ar-
rested and are awaiting trial.

In Mr. Dinwiddie's closing
paragraph he presents the read-
er with an attempt at satire.
Mr. Dinwiddie wonders what
would happen if: a white man
were arrested by two Negro state
troopers; hours later his corpse
sent to a funeral home; and a
Negro toxicologist refuses to dis-
close the cause of death. Mr.

Dinwiddie says that: "People
would probably think it was un-
just or something." Mr. Din-
widdie is implying that because
Motley was a Negro the people
of Alabama didn't give a damn
about what happened to him. I
am concerned (as I am sure
most people are) when anyone
(red, black, white, or green) is
unjustly punished; but I do not
believe, as Mr. Dinwiddie seems
to, in presenting one rare case
and attempting to distort this
incident until it appears to rep-
resent all cases of its type.

Under a column entitled "Edi-
torial Criticized," (Dec. 1, 1966,
of The Alabamian) Mr. Fors-
man criticizes another article by
Mr. Dinwiddie and Mr. Dinwid-
die answers this criticism by
saying "Anyone can go around
making crackpot statements with
absolutely no basis." It is ironi-
cal that Mr. Dinwiddie has done
the same thing that he criticized
Mr. Forsman for doing. In Mr.
Dinwiddie's article "Justice For
All," he made certain statements
(pointed out in this article) with-
out basis. As a matter of fact
some of the statements could
only have been made if Mr. Din-
widdie had been at the places
he describes. Were you there,
Mr. Dinwiddie? Were you there?

Editor's Note: On December
8, a jury of 12 white men in Ope-
lika found Marvin Segrest, white,
innocent of the murder of Samuel
Younge, Jr., a Negro student at
Tuskegee Institute. The trial was
moved from Tuskegee because
Mr. Segrest thought he would not
receive a fair trial.

cent articles appearing in The
Alabamian and if my assumption
is correct, then I commend the
writers of these articles on their
interest and efforts to achieve
their intent. However, I must
hasten to say that I feel the
situation is not at all as it has
been presented in these articles.
This misrepresentation, I think,
is not deliberate but due to lack
of adequate knowledge of the
actual functioning of Student
Government. It is in order for
someone directly involved in Stu-
dent Government to answer the
questions that have been raised
and I propose to do that.

To begin with, I would like to
quote a segment of Miss Boyer's
editorial in the Nov. 10 issue of
The Alabamian. "It has been
our experience that the petition
method of presenting a bill or
suggestion is a faste of time
since the Senate usually disre-
gards both the content and the
names signed." Perhaps this
might have been true in years
past, I cannot speak for them,
but it certainly is not at present.
No petition of any sort has been
presented to the Senate during
my term as President of the
Senate and if any have been pre-
sented to individual Senators, I
have not known about it and I
surely think I would have if
such had been the case.

As for other means of obtain-
ing representation in the Senate,
I assure the student body that a
letter or personal talk with a
Senator is quite sufficient to get
your problem or suggestion
voiced on the Senate floor. When
a new matter is brought before
the Senate by a class senator,
very often he begins by a state-
ment such as, "Several people
have asked me about . . ." or
"I was asked to present this be-
fore the Senate." For example,
the matter of getting out of
school early in order to have a
full week vacation prior to
Christmas was brought to the
attention of certain Senators.
Consequently, this was brought
before the Senate and the Sen-
ate in turn took action on this
and did, I feel, all that could be
done on the matter. This ex-
ample is one of many similar
ones which could be given to
illustrate the fact that student
suggestions do indeed get to the
Senate where they are given
careful consideration.

In the Dec. 1 issue of The
Alabamian, Mr. Phillips labeled
Student Government as "the pup-
pet S.G.A." I hardly think that
one possessing a good under-
standing of the working of S.G.A.
could conscientiously make such
an accusation. The Constitution
of the S.G.A. begins with the
statement, "Under the authority
granted by the President and fac-
ulty of the college, we, the stu-
dents of Alabama College . . .
do hereby establish this constitu-
tion for the Student Government
Association of Alaama College."
Thus Student Government, by
its very nature has no authority
except that granted to it by the
administration. However, I have
found after serving nearly two
years in the Senate, that this
granted authority is quite exten-
sive and the execution of it by
the students is relatively free
from administrative control. This
condition could not exist unless
the administration allowed it.
Thus I believe that if the S.G.A.
is to be called a puppet, it must
be with the qualification that the
strings attached to this puppet
are quite elastic by choice of the
administration.

I suppose that criticisms of the
S.G.A. will continue to come but
this is not bad. In fact, it is
good for a representative body
such as the Senate to be scru-
tinized by those it represents to
insure proper practices being
maintained. But to emphasize an
earlier statement, I contend that
one should attempt to get a good
understanding of a matter before
becoming too critical of it and
that this criticism should be bas-
ed on facts rather than vague
ideas or fancy.

Vice President, S.G.A.

Red Wave
Drowns AC

Last Wednesday night Alabama
College's Falcons were defeated
by the Troy State Red Wave 89-
56 at Troy. Coach John Archer's
team was the first this year to
dominate both halves against the
Falcons; they outscored A.C. 42-
28 the first half, and 47-28 the
second half. This dominance was
achieved through their edge in
field goals (37-21), and rebounds
(A.C. had six at the half).

Troy had the four top scorers
in the game: Thorpe, 23; Car-
michael, 19; Holley, 15; and An-
drews with 11. Mark Riggins led
the Falcons with ten, followed
by Mike Killimet who had nine,
and Henry Ezell, Marshall Kill-
ingsworth and Bill Rountree,
all with eight. The Falcons have
another game with Troy State on
January 25 here at Montevallo.

"Winning Isn't Everything...'

By Mike Malone, Sports Editor

If Pride and Desire alone won ball games
the Alabama Colelge basketball team would
undefeated. Unfortunately, however, it take
more — coaching, teamwork, experience, leader
ship, and countless other essentials. Althoug
the "cagers" have yet to win in front of th
home crowd, they have demonstrated "peculiar
ties" that are evident to all who watch, am
cheer them on. It seems "these guys canno
read scoreboards." This is obvious because the
pay no attention to the score. They actually believe that eve
though a team is down twenty points or more — they are not sup-
posed to quit! Furthermore, they believe that Sophomores and
occasional Freshman or Junior can actually compete on the sam
court with three or four year lettermen.

Why do these guys believe these outrageous things? Well,
may be because they have lots of pride in their hearts; pride i
winning and pride in representing A.C. The size of their hearts
was ably shown last week and the week before, when they cam
from far behind to battle Jacksonville State and LaGrange all th
way to the end.

Although the team is playing with "obvious handicaps" (yout
and inexperience, just to name a few), the characteristics of ag-
gressiveness and fire are evident in every motion of play. Pride
and Desire are already there; experience, skill and confidence with
proper coaching comes with time. Watch them, win, lose, or draw,
they will have your respect; but "look out, A.C." Someday they
will have you a championship!
"MERRY CHRISTMAS!"

Ezeli Scores Highest In
Jax State Round

Last Saturday the Jacksonville
State University Gamecocks and
the Alabama College Falcons
tangled up in a very high scor-
ing game; the final score was
Jax State 111 and the Falcons 98.
Henry Ezell continues to pour
points in at home; he scored
thirty-two in this game to go
with his thirty-one in the first
home game against LaGrange.
However, he was not enough in
this game either.

Jacksonville led most of the
way, being ahead by as much
as twenty-two points right be-
fore the half. Most of the night,
their lead seesawed back and
forth between eight and thirteen
points (the final deficit). A.C.
led 9-8 with fifteen minutes left
in the first half, but the Jaxmen
pulled ahead By six at the twelve
minute mark, and sustained that
lead for eight or nine minutes.
The turning point of the ball
game occurred with some four
minutes left until half-time. At
that point, Jacksonville went into
a full court zone press, and
scored six straight points in a
45 second stretch, before the Fal-
cons could get adjusted. They
added several more buckets, and
suddenly they were sitting on an
eighteen point half-time lead. The
Falcons came roaring back after
intermission, outscoring the
Gamecocks 50-45, but the damage

had already been done, and they
just couldn't get any closer than
sir points the rest of the way,
Jacksonville State broke the ce&
tury mark with 5:01 remaining
in the game, and A.C. tried de
perately to get into that coveted
circle, but Mark Riggins' 20-
footer bounced off the rim with
six seconds remaining.

As fate would have it, Jackson-
ville hurried the ball down the
court and scored with only
second left on the clock; thisjho
bucket set a new record for
points scored by a Falcon oppon
ent (the previous high 109 b;
Athens during the 64-65 season)

Ezell led all scorers with his
thirty-two point total, while Bill
Brantley led Jax State with
twenty-four. Bill Rountree, big
6'6" freshman from Wetumpka,
threw in sixteen points for the
Falcons and played a very im-fen
pressive overall game. Co-Cap-k^
tains Wayne Everette and Mar-Lj
shall Killingsworth added four-
teen and ten points respectively,
while Mike Killimet and Riggi
added nine apiece. Paul Tram'
mell was the next highest scorei
for Jax State with twenty-twi
points, followed by Buddy Corne-
lius with eighteen, Gary Angel JJj
and Craig Helms with thirteen , 0I)
each, and Fred Loworn with
eleven. The win puts Jackson-
ville's record at 5-1, their onl;
loss being to the University
Alabama Crimson Tide. The lo:
drops A.C.'s record to 0-5. Thes
next home game is next Saturday C^j
night against Millsaps. The team
has had support at these fi:
home games; KEEP IT UP!

On December 2 the Alabama
College Falcons played their
home opener against the La-
Grange team which had downed
them in the first game of the
season 67-52. The result of this
was a tremendously exciting bas-
ketball game, won by LaGrange
75-70. LaGrange jumped out into
an eight point lead, 17-9, with
ten minutes remaining in the
first half, but the Falcons storm-
ed back to within two, 23-21, at
the five minute mark and tied
the score 26-26 with three min-
utes left in the half. However,
guard Steve fry came off the
Panther bench and tossed in two
buckets with 1:50 remaining, to
spark LaGrange to a 35-36 half-
time lead.

The second half was a real
donnybrook with LaGrange's lead
seesawing from 44-41 (13:18 left)
to 52-»7 (9:47), and then losing

the lead to A.C. 56-55 (the first
and only time the Falcons led),
with 6:32 left. From that point
on LaGrange gradually pulled
away to a 69-62 lead with 2:27
left, and coasted to their third
victory of the season.

The phenomenal shooting of
5'11" guard Henry Ezell led the
way for the Falcons. He hit on
15 to 26 field goals attempts, and
was one for one from the line,
for a total of thirty-one points,
to lead all scorers. Joe Phillips
had sixteen points to lead La-
Grange. Next high for A.C. was
Dan Nelson, a 6'4" forward from
Tuskegee, with thirteen points,
closely followed by Marshall
Killingsworth with eleven. For
LaGrange, Duckett and Smith
had fourteen to continue their
mastery over the Falcons (they
scored thirty-one points between
them in the first game), follow-

ed by Hoyt with thirteen.

Contemporary Play Opens
In Reynolds Tonight

~y It is finally here and it is Fan-
ln istick! Opening tonight to a full
y- ouse is the Alabama College
n " xperimental Theatre production
^ [ "The Fantasticks," an unusual
;s- nd beautifully written play by
e d om Jones and Harvey Schmidt.
* In the intimacy of Reynolds
th ludio Theatre the audience is

rawn up into (and occasionally
m- ivoived in) the budding love
he ;ory of a young couple and the
1 mic connivings of their fathers
us ho, of all things, are plotting
or i get them together, a slight

arody on "Romeo and Juliet."
by nd indeed, like Shakespeare,
■>)■ le whole thing is done with a
lis linimum of props and staging
iill id a maximum of imagination.

Under the direction of senior
"8 lan Phillips the eight charac-

The truest beauty of "The
Fantasticks" is within the play
itself. The dialogue is sometimes
free verse, sometimes rhymed
but always definitely poetic (even
the comic scenes are full of sym-
bolism) and with much more
depth than is at first obvious.
It takes a little thought to see
just exactly what El Gallo means
when he says that life is "reck-
less and terribly gay" in the
moving song sequence "Round
and Round." And symbols pop up
out of all sorts of places from
plums to cumquats to rhinestones
to pink masks.

Under the sensitive lighting the
reality is sometimes blurred and
the whole thing is a little dream-
like and completely memorable.

Volume number 100,000 is now
shelved in Alabama College's li-
brary—placed there "with cere-
mony." The milestone volume,
entitled "The Complete Work of
Michelangelo," was the focal
point of an informal ceremony
and celebration held recently in
AC's Houston Wills Memorial Li-
brary.

For Robert Somers, director of
libraries at the liberal arts col-
lege, the event was a complete
surprise. He was unaware that
AC's burgeoning library was re-
ceiving its 100,000th acquisition,
or that his staff members were
preparing to mark the occasion
with a ceremony.

Actually, the event had a
double significance: in addition
to pushing the library volume
numbers into six figures, it was
the library chief's birthday. Ap-
propriate to the occasion, library
staff members served coffee and
cake to well-wishers coming by.

The noteworthy volume con-
tains some 600 pages of text and
gravure illustrations, plus 30
plates in full color. It was com-
piled by outstanding Michelan-
gelo scholars under the direction

For the combined ceremony-
party at AC, librarians dug back
into the stacks and found the
college's very first acquisition —
a modest looking volume by
Washington Irving entitled "Life
of George Washington," a first
edition published in 1857.

All the volumes wedged be-
tween the oldest and newest of
AC's library offerings have
strained the capacity of Wills
Hall virtually to the bursting and
breaking point.

Librarians are holding the line,
however, and are looking sev-
eral hundred feet eastward across
the tree-studded campus to where
a new three-story library is now
under construction.

The new building is designed to
home some 300,000 volumes and
will provide accommodations for
around 900 people. It is scheduled
for completion next fall.

AELTA DETAILS

"Do you have the Falcon spirit
for '66?" was the question put
before the student body at the
Delta bonfire and pep rally just
before our first home basketball
game. The Deltas sponsored the
bonfire so that the students could
express some of their school
spirit by getting the season off
to a good start. Many students
came and enjoyed the sight of
fifteen feet of wood burning to
symbolize an anticipated Falcon
victory. Also adding to the spir-
ited affair was a huge sign con-
tributed by the Delta pledges,
which bore a falcon with the
question previously mention print-
ed on it. The cheerleaders dis-
played their pep as they led the
students in numerous cheers and
escorted the roaring crowd into
the gymnasium.

Having mentioned the pledges
and their contribution to the Del-
tas' bonfire, it is hoped that
some interest has developed con-
cerning their other functions as
they seek to become full mem-
bers. Their largest project is to
paint the nursery playground
equipment for the Home Econom-
ics Department. Last week the
pledges sold candied apples and
during Elite Night they assisted
the SGA by ushering. Finally the

pledges came to the aid of some
Hanson dorm girls by gathering
items to help decorate for open
house. From the above, it is ob-
vious that becoming a Delta re-
quires many hours of service,
not to mention the restrictions
and requirements the club places
on them during this pledging
period.

Another important and active
segment of the Delta Social
Club is the sponsors. The
Deltas wish to express their ap-
preciation to Mr. Fred Blackmon
of the Physics Department and
Mr. Robert Lightfoot from the
Math Department for without
their backing this club's exist-
ence would not be possible.

Probably the most active por-
tion of the Delta Club is the full
members. From this group spe-
cial tribute is given to Ronny
Moon and Robert Vann who have
devoted several years of service
to the school through the Delta
Club. These guys will graduate
in January and the Deltas ex-
tend their congratulations and
hopes for future happiness.

To conclude this article the
Deltas would like to say Merry
Christmas to the Alabama Col-
lege campus.

Student Critique Of
Lettermen Concert

The concert given here Dec. 1
was, in my opinion, one of the
most successful concerts heard
on the A.C. campus. This is
somewhat unsual, as the Letter-
men are not, to those who have
a broad understanding of music,
great musicians.

There are many reasons why
their success is what it is. I
think probably that the most
outstanding factor in their suc-
cess in concert is their presen-
tation. Despite the fact that their
humor was not always fresh,
their showmanship was in good
taste and because of its inform-
ality, it gave each person the
feeling of belonging to the pro-
gram. Another factor influencing
the acceptance of the Lettermen
in general is the selection of
songs that they sing. They sing
chants of great sentimental value
that can be associated with the
emotions so familiar to those of
college age. This, I think, is
especially true for the girls here
at A.C. Another thing attribut-
ing to the acceptance of the
Lettermen is their ability to show

Give

the devil
his due.

Dane's Mttx's ^Ijnp

TO THE STUDENTS OF ALABAMA
COLLEGE:

We, the students of A.C, feel that we
owe a lot to Zane's Men's Store in Mon-
tevallo. Mr. Zane has gone out of his
way to help the students of A.C. The
S.G.A. solicited his help in lending to
them the "playboy bunny" that is in his
display window. Lately he was one of the
few store owners who left the Circle K
blood drive poster in his window after
some townspeople asked him to take it
out of his window and put one of their
own up. These are examples of some of
the things he has done this year.

Now that we are in the Christmas sea-
son let us remember Zane's Men's Store
when we are doing our Christmas shop-
ping. Girls, where else can you get that
personal help in selecting the gifts for
your men? Men, always stay in the top
of fashion with Zane's help. Now that
we will be rushed in our Christmas shop-
ping by our short holiday before Christ-
mas, let's remember Zane's Men's Shop.

tone color and variation. In
these three singers is found three
different voice sounds and three
different styles of singing. Also
their repertoire covered a large
field which included everything
from rock and roll to standards.

The group which did the back-
ing for the Lettermen was su-
perb. Other than the slight over-
powering sound during the first
set, the Wilson Brown Trio es-
tablished a very substantial base
for the voices of the Lettermen.
The pianist, Wilson Brown, is a
very talented musician, showing
this not only in his piano styl-
ings so appropriate to the sound
of the Lettermen but also in the
fact that he is the writer of their
arrangements. The bassist was of
exceeding caliber, laying down
that half of the rhythm so ne-
cessary to give the group a full
sound. This could be recognized
particularly on the number that

he sang, leaving the bass line
out and thereby creating
"hole" in the sound on the low-
er end. The drummer for the
group was indeed one of the
best I have heard, approaching
the facilities of Joe Marrello.
His solo would have been ver
enjoyable were it not for the
fact that the bassist, as he wa
leaving the stage, tripped on the
amplifier cord causing his beau,
tiful instrument to crash on the
floor. I think most of the mu.j
sicians in the audience were more
or less mourning the first ha
or so of the drum solo.

Taking everything into consid-J
eration, the concert as a whole
was very impressive, probably
causing the sale of several nun
dred Lettermen albums on the
A.C. campus. It was really
treat to be present at this event
and I hope the S.G.A. can ar-l
range to have them back in fu-J
ture years.

where the idea came from and
he told me that it has been a
pet idea of his for years, and the
climate here at A.C. was suit-
able for such an endeavor. Mr.
Talantis modestly declined to re-
port the finances involved, but
accented the remarkable initia-
tive of the students involved in
the endeavor. He said, "If not
for the student help, more than
40 in all, the costs would have
been astronomical. The whole
thing just snowballed. The band
volunteered and just the night
before the Go-Go girls volun-
teered.'

The Food Services had to call
Chicago and speak to a repre-
sentative of the Playboy Club
and spoke to Mr. Mell Scott who
said "Great idea, go ahead."
From there Mr. Talantis pulled
the necessary strings to get ap-
proval from Dean Paty and the
Food Service Committee.

Various comments ranged
around campus about the eve-
ning: "I'm not believing it, it
was too much."

"Must have cost a fortune."

Heaf/i Speaks

On Sunday, January 2, Cyn-
thia Heath, a junior from Bir-
mingham, was a speaker at the
Woodlawn Methodist Church. Miss
Heath was participating in the
traditional Student Recognition
Sunday of the Methodist Church.

One of the nation's most unique
drama groups— the Bishop's Play-
ers—will appear at Alabama Col-
lege on Monday evening, Jan. 30,
presenting Karl Wittlinger's "Do
You Know the Milky Way?"

First of its kind in America,
the company's stated purposes in-
clude making "fine theatrical
productions available to houses of
worship, educational institutions
and to any other place or group
desiring to speak for strong
moral and ethical standards . . ."

The touring troupe of profes-
sional actors was founded in 1952
by Phyllis Beardsley Bokar. She
conceived the idea for such a
group in 1939 while attending the
Pasadena Playhouse School of
the Theatre.

Library Receives
"Old Sources"

Frequently you are admonished
in this column from the library
about what you should know as
students at a liberal arts col-
lege Even if your major is Busi-
ness Administration or Home
Economics, we can assume that
your education has been broad
enough to include this term:
primary sources. If you don't
know what it means, please look
it up with all the stealth of
which you are capable. You're
likely to be embarrassed by hoots
of derision if you ask an intel-
lectual friend. If you look in a
book titled "Understanding His-
tory" by Louis Gottschalk, page
53 (call number 907, G687u) you
will find an acceptable definition
without publicizing your ignor-
ance. I shall not waste my time
nor yours in discussing the mean-
ing of primary sources here.

Instead, I would like to discuss

Since its founding the company
has had a significant influence
in three distinct areas: church
programs of religious drama, ed-
ucational theatre, and commer-
cial theatre.

The company's Montevallo pre-
sentation is described by author
Wittlinger as a tragi-comedy.

His story centers on a man's
struggle to "retain his identity
and faith in God while seeing
what he feels the world should
be, instead of what it actually
is."

"The play cannot be a com-
edy," Wittlinger states, "because
what the world can do to a man
can be too painful and ugly. Yet
it cannot be a tragedy because
the good in man, though it may
be stopped— even murdered — can
never be annihilated."

His work has been described
by Howard Taubman of the New
York Times as "a striking play
... a stimulating adventure."

The upcoming performance is
a feature of Alabama College's
1966-67 Concert & Lecture series.
Curtain time is 8:15 p.m. in Pal-
mer Auditorium.

Tickets may be purchased in
advance through the AC business
office or at the Palmer Hall
ticket office on the evening of
presentation. Students are admit-
ted on presentation of identifica-
tion cards.

The Tongue Is Deadlier Than The Sword

Nancy E. Boyer, Editor-in-Chief

An incident occurred re-
cently on campus that show-
ed us, much to our dismay,
that the students of Alabama
College leave much to be de-
sired in the way of starting
and spreading rumor. In this
particular case the victim
was one of the most out-
standing figures in student
leadership and participation in A.C. history. In
other, smaller, cases the victims may not be so
well known but the agonizing result is the same.

It is true that talk is one of the most enter-
taining as well as informative pastimes available
to college students, and students avail themselves
of it quite a lot as can be seen by the crowds
in the Tea House every day. Talk can be dan-
gerous. Sadly, here talk IS dangerous.

Slander and unnecessary and undue criticism

flow from mthe mouths of idlers in the SUB in
such amounts as to make Noah's flood look like
a bird-bath. Someone says, "Did you know that
So-and-So is a . . ." and his listeners gobble it
up hungrily, run to the next table and say the
same plus. By the time a dozen "pluses" are
added the unknowing victim is on ten "Lists" and
is being "watched" and dozens of his former
friends are wondering if . . .

This kind of entertainment is not restricted
to a few, not by a long shot. Some of it gets
spread accidentally — someone hears something,
ignores it but it happens to slip out in a conver-
sation with a friend — but most of it is planted
with vicious glee. Everyone does it.

We've gotten tired of it. We want it to stop,
all of it! We believe in the old maxim taught by
every mother — If you can't say something nice,
don't say anything at all. Amen!

EDITORIALS
A. C. Needs Better Communications

Wednesday night a few weeks ago an out-
standing performer gave a guest appearance on
our campus. The evening was an exceptional and
refreshing one, a great strain reducer just be-
fore finals. Unfortunately only a few students
benefited from the show because only a few
were there.

No doubt the name of John Carradine was un-
familiar to some, others just couldn't take time
out, but the majority didn't even know about
the program. The communications here are def-
initely poor.

The Alabamian is partly to blame. We occa-
sionally overlook something important, some-
times we don't have room for everything. This
semester we'll try harder. But we aren't the only

ones who need to try harder. The S.G.A. Com-
munications Committee has put up poster after
poster announcing coming events. Each poster
looks like the last, though, and few students on
the run to and fro will notice the change. The
posters need to be louder and brighter and each
one distinctly different from the last.

The biggest need, however, is for the public
address system in the cafeteria to be fixed. It
is the best method of keeping news and an-
nouncements constantly up to date and before
the students. Until this can be taken care of,
the dorms should use their own intercom sys-
tems for announcements.

We can't expect big student participation if the
school doesn't know what is going on. — N.E.B.

To The Editor

In Defense of Nonconformity

Dear Editor:

I am writing in regard to a
recent essay written by Mr.
Forsman concerning the Alabam-
ian editorials. In this particular
article I was first revengeful
then amused at the content. I
had heard by a little bird that
there would be an unkind refer-
ence to the long haired birds at-
tending this institute, and had
schemes to write a letter to be
printed defending my position
and the position of a few others
by using a very well known bib-
lical figure whom I have always
seen pictured with hair of some
length and a beard to match.
After eagerly reading the article
I found this to be a ridiculous
thought, for the author of the
work had in my opinion proven
to me that he was nowheres-
ville. It is quite obvious that he
is not familiar with the essay
"A Modest Proposal" written by
Jonathan Swift. Swift, through
the technique of exaggeration,
tried to stimulate the minds into
realizing a situation which was
in need of repair. A problem
which could be reduced by meas-
ures must less drastic than the
ones suggested in the proposal.
(Page 735 in the Soph. English
text.) In this case maybe a
twelve o'clock curfew so my date
and 1 can see some decent mov-
ies in Birmingham without fear of
being late and having to bother
the more than tolerant police
force here at school. As for la-
beling me a liberal (indirectly,
of course), it is well known around
campus that I am an active
member in the "Bomb Santa
Claus" movement and a group
protesting the training of fleas.

Since I and many of my col-
leagues belong to these and very
similar movements it is clear to
me why "very liberal" is my
appropriate handle. As for how
I look and dress it is to his
(Mr. Forsman) advantage that

I haven't had the pleasure of ob-
serving his appearance. I could
go on all night but I am tired
and must retire, therefore I can-
not continue this silly argument.
With much reserve,
David R. Keller

The Quest

By Jim Houghton

In the October 27th issue of The Alabamian, the Student Re-
ligious Association announced the speaker for the forthcoming Re-
ligious Emphasis Week. It was of particular interest to note that
the speaker, Dr. FitzSimmons Allison, was introduced as an "out-
standing teacher and minister." Now it becomes of particular
value that an examination of this introduction be given in regard
to Dr. Allison's address, and balance this on the scale of truth
with the reason that the college has a Religious Emphasis Week.

Before examining Dr. Allison's message, an evaluation for even
having a Religious Emphasis Week must be stated. Some on cam-
pus question having such a week on a public campus such as A.C.
For whatever reason such an argument is based upon, one cannot
deny the fact that this country was founded upon religious prin-
ciples. During Religious Emphasis Week, one has the opportunity
to evaluate his religious heritage. Whether or not one believes in
religion is irreverent for the responsibility of enrolling persons
into a certain religious organization is up to the church. The re-
sponsibility of Religious Emphasis Week is to present this nation's
religious heritage in concordance with man's modern society, and
this Dr. Allison has done.

Dr. Allison threw the religious aspects of contemporary litera-
ture into the spotlight and showed the way in which this reflects
upon the religious heritage of man. In his message, Dr. Allison
points out the fact that the literary artist of today, as of yester-

A New Standard?

By Bob Dinwiddie

There has been much verbal activity during the last few weeks
concerning the possibility of giving the right to vote to 18-year-olds

The University of Alabama now has a Committee to Obtain the
Rights of the 18-Year-Old To Vote, Alexander City Junior Colle;
has created a similar committee, and the senior class of Ragland
High School has asked 601 Alabama high schools and colleges for
their support in a drive to give the franchise to 18-year-olds

Newly elected State Senator Tom Radney of Tallapoosa has
added some respectability to the movement by declaring that he
will introduce legislation to amend the state constitution to allow
18-year-olds to vote.

Allowing 18-year-olds to vote would not be a novelty. They al-
ready vote in Georgia and Kentucky at 18, at 19 in Alaska, and at

20 in Hawaii. And it may be worth pointing out that no political
disaster has enveloped any of the states permitting younger-than-

21 voting.

There are several arguments favoring lowering the voting age.
(1) Young people of today are educated better and educated earlier
than were previous generations. (2) Interest and awareness are
greater in the young than in any other comparable age group. (3)
In a country which caters to the young economically to the poinl
of discriminating against the aged, the young should have a greater
political voice. (4) If persons can vote when they still are interest-
ed they are more likely to continue voting. (5) Politics itself is ac
quiring a much younger look, with the image of the young politi
cian being played up by both major parties. (6) If a person is old
enough to fight he is old enough to vote.

The last reason is the most commonly heard, which is unfortu
nate because it is the most specious. There is no relation betweei
voting and fighting. An intelligent, reasonable voter may be ai
inept soldier, or vice versa. If "old enough to fight, old enough h
vote" means that no one should be called upon to defend a policy
he hasn't had a chance to vote on, then a semblance of argument
can be made. But he only would be placed in a category with those
who had voted against the policy and then were called upon to de-
fend it anyway. The popular slogan is also weakened by the actual-
ity that in a war everyone must defend the country with no ques-
tions asked. The questions come after the war, and are then merelj
academic.

The only arugment against 18-year-old voting is lack of mj
turity. No one says that 18-year-olds aren't well enough informed
politically, possibly because everyone realizes that politicians do i
good Job of keeping the total public in the dark about meaningful
issues. Moreover, a check of the Wallace and Martin headquarters
across the state in October would have shown a great deal of the
work being performed by students in the 18 to 21 age bracket. D
spite this evidence of political maturity, some politicians, and otl.
ers, insist that 18-year-olds are not capable of exercising the rights
to which they aspire. They would deny them the opportunity fol
the exercise of rational functions and then accuse them of lackinj
capacities, which can be developed only by exercise.

Alabamians can now vote at age 21 and sit in the State Legist*!
ture at age 21. Let's say someone has a birthday that falls on the
first Tuesday of November of an election year. Although only 20,
he can campaign and be elected to the State Legislature Being
twenty-one on election day, he could be elected, though his birth-
day came too late for him to register and vote for himself If that
particular year was also a presidential election year, the same man
would be 25 years old and a veteran of four years in a state legis-
lature before he was able to vote for a president.

Does the three year period from 18 to 21 not only make or*
qualified to vote, but to introduce and pass (and not pass) legist
tion affecting the entire state?

If the legislators see fit to retain the present voting age be-
cause they want to be sure of a mature electorate, they should also
raise the minimum age for legislators for the same reason

Jan. 7— The Alabama College
Falcons downed Livingston State
84-74 through a fine team effort
in general and through the in-
spired play of Wayne Everett,
Dan Nelson, and Ralph Butler in
particular. Livingston led most
of the first half, leading by as

into a 33-31 half-time lead. The
Falcon comeback was sparked by

The young giant controlled the
backboards and threw in nine
first half points to lead the
charge. Butler pulled down eleven
rebounds and scored eleven points
before fouling out early in the
- second half. Livingston made a
> valiant second half effort behind
Oscar Davis who threw in eleven
points, but they couldn't quite
make it. Wayne Everett and Dan
Nelson poured in fifteen and
twelve points respectively during
the second half to slam the door
1 on the Tigers. Livingston got
close several times but key bas-
kets by Nelson and Marshall
Killingsworth kept the Falcons
" out of danger. The Falcons went

Bears Catch A. C. Falcons

Jan. 5— The Alabama College
Falcons and the Athens College
Bears opened the 1967 portion of
their schedules in an action-pack-
ed contest here in Montevallo.
The Falcons jumped into a quick
lead and held it for most of the
first half, leading by as much
as seven points. Athens came
storming back to take the lead
27-26 with 5:03 left in the first
half. A.C. quickly regained the
lead 28-27 but lost it again, this
time for good. Athens rode their
surge to a 42-34 half-time lead,
and subsequently played the Fal-
cons to a 34-34 second half stand-
still to win 76-68.

The story of the game was at
the free throw line. Athens only
made twenty-six field goals as
compared with thirty for the Fal-
cons. However, they cashed in on
24-37 free throws while the Fal-
cons only managed 8-12. This re-
sulted in too much of a margin
for A.C. to make up. Twenty-sev-
en fouls were called on A.C;
thirteen were called on Athens.

film. When complete, the collec-
tion will comprise papers from
Boston, South Carolina, and Vir-
ginia from 1705 to 1816.
The Boston papers include:
Boston News-Letter, 1705-1776.
This was the first newspaper of
any significance in the American
Colonies. For 72 years it set the
standard for others to follow and
ceased publication only when the
British forces and those loyal to
the Crown left Boston.

Continental Journal, 1776-1787.
During the siege of Boston the
British kept the editor under ar-
rest as a suspicious person. The
paper fluorished for a time only
to fold under the new tyranny
of a Stamp Act imposed by the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

The papers from South Caro-
lina cover the years from 1732
through 1782, those from Virginia
1774-1775, 1782-1816.

On examining the Virginia Ga-
zette or Norfolk Intelligencer,
which flourished from 1774 to
1775, I was instantly immersed,
in the controversy over "that
pernicious and troublesome com-
modity called tea." Most of the
paper consists of letters or es-
says to the printer, William Dun-
can, who asserts that he is neu-
tral in the arguments between
Crown and colony. There are also
(on the back pages) news items
of national, local, and interna-
tional interest. Some of the items
of local interest include the mur-
der of an Indian named Mad
Turkey, by Thomas Fee, a white
man. Fee was imprisoned, but
several of his friends (unidenti-
fied) stormed the jail and freed
him. And there was an accident
that befell a young girl of Nor-
folk, who fell through— but here
I must censor by own article.
What was unabashedly printed
nearly 200 years ago cannot, in
all good taste, be repeated here.

The advertisements comprise
one of the most fascinating as-
pects of the paper. It is amaz-
ing to see the variety of items
(besides tea) imported to the
colonies, in addition to locally
produced goods. The number of
rewards offered for the return
of run-away slaves is appalling;
one of the descriptions I shall
never forget: a Mulatto, Can-
dace, about 20 years old, could
be recognized by whip scars,
"artfully marked."

Even if you are not engaged
in research on American history,
I can assure you that the time
you spend reading these old pa-
pers will be rewarding hours—
and experience has taught me
that they WILL be hours, and
not minutes.

Students Miss Great Show

By Gary McManis

On Wednesday, January 4, 1967, a hearty little band of Alabama
College students and faculty sat in the unheated Palmer Theatre
and witnessed the best display of acting talent since Hal Hol-
brook's appearance here last year. John Carradine's performance
was exceptionally good, though perhaps not quite as impressive as
Mr. Holbrook's. Mr. Carradine's was a simpler production in which
he used no lighting effects (except a total blackout for the first
number), no set or props, no sound effects except those provided
by his deep, melodious, resonant voice, and no costume, as such,
or makeup. It was, however, a more versatile performance than
was seen last year.

The program started with a selection from the thirteenth chap-
ter of First Corinthians. Mr. Carradine then proceeded with equal
ease from the speeches of Abraham Lincoln, through one of Cardi-
nal Woolsey's speeches from Henry XIII, to a memorable pair of
Hamlet's speeches. He ended the first half with a delightful and
thoroughly enjoyable rendition of "The Seven Ages of Man" from
As You Like It.

During the ten minute intermission, the audience tried to warm
themselves, while backstage, Mr. Carradine smoked and discussed
with Dean Walters the neck brace which he sports.

The second half was devoted primarily to the poetry of Rupert
Brooke and the nonsense works of Lewis Carroll. These are two of
Mr. Carradine's favorite subjects and he does them full justice.
In addition to these, he did several other little ditties, among which
was a "debunking" (of his own composition) of Poe's "The Raven."
After a standing ovation, Mr. Carradine closed the show with the
beautiful and brooding "To be, or not to be" soliloquy from Hamlet.

The only significant flaw in the performance was Mr. Caro-
line's lack of volume in spots. This may have been due to the
weariness caused by an all day plane trip, or to the sore throat
that he had. What is worse, however, is that so few people were
there to hear him. This was due in part to the lack of sufficient
campus wide publicity. This was a particular problem since the
performance took place on our first day of classes after the holi-
days. The poor attendance was due in larger part, however, to the
same thing that has plagued other A.C. activities— student apathy.

Mr. Carradine proved himself to be not only an excellent per-
former, but a genuinely personable man as well. He was friendly
and affable with the students and faculty backstage, and, although
he must have been very tired, he endured a long line of autograph
seekers and well wishers after the show.

All in all, it was an exceptionally good number on the concert
series, and, if you missed it, you REALLY missed it.

Stray Dog
Disposed Of

On Tuesday night, January
10, the old yellow dog which had
been frequenting the campus was
killed by a young man from Na-
pier. It was killed on the order
of one of the campus policemen,
Mr. Thrasher, after he had been
bitten by the dog.

The boy was asked to do this

unpleasant chore because he was
known to be a good hunter witl
bow and arrow and the police-
man did not want to shoot the
dog on campus for fear of fright-
ening the students. The police-
men had tried, unsuccessfully, to
get the dog during tbe Christ-
mas holidays.

Taking two arrows the student
hunted down the dog. Unfortu-
nately, the two were not enough
so he had to leave the do|
wounded while he went for more
Two more arrows left the dog
dead. The whole thing took les
than an hour.

THE QUEST

(Continued from Page 2)

day, is engaged in a "religious quest". Through this "religiou
quest", the literary artist is seeking the religious nature of man
The artist goes back to the primitive and animalistic tendenc
of man to find this religious nature; and by doing this, the artist
is trying to find the common denominator that will disclose
basic truth out of the complexities of life. Even though the artist
has adhered to the basic needs and desires of man, he has not
solved anything and thus has committed literary suicide. And since
the literature of a period reflects the attitudes of the society that
it is in, there is a depravity drift in the literature simply because
of the animalistic tendencies in our society.

By taking the literature of a former period and comparing it
to that of today, Dr. Allison shows us that the depravity drift of
our society reflects upon the church and our heritage. In the lit-
erature of Milton and Spenser, there is the acceptance and identity
of Christ. The point is that former artists have sought to give
depth and meaning to Christ, while the modern artist is seekin a
Christ through the depth and meaning of himself. Here the church
has been failing. It has been trying to explain Christ through the
morality of man, and not through the intellectual understanding of
Christ. The church has condemned the animalistic tendencies with
a thou shalt not philosophy, while it should have recognized the
identity of Christ and related this to the literature. When this is
done, a man can find himself as a man. Dr. Allison is quick to
mind us that this can be done, for the church is beginning to open
its door to a "religious quest".

When we weigh the crust of Dr. Allison's message with th<
explanation or Religious Emphasis Week, we not only see thi
strength of our heritage, but we are given the strength of tha
heritage.

A.C.'s Writers
In "Comment"

Three of Alabama College's
writers, two well known and one
a fledgling, were published In the
Winter Issue of the University
of Alabama's literary magazine,
"Comment."

"A Very Proper Resting Place"
by Mr. William S. Cobb, Assist-
ant Professor of English, was
the featured short story of the
issue. Mr. Cobb, a well-known
writer, has been published in
"Comment" many times.

Mr. John Finlay, new to the
English Department, is a former
editor of "Comment." In this is-
sue his poem, "A Voyage," was
printed.

For Sophomore English major
Jenny Holman this was the first
time in print. Accepted by "Com-
ment" was her poem, "On Con-
templating Suicide."

These are only a few of the
talented writers among the Ala-
bama College faculty and stu-
dents. More of their work will
be available in the spring when
A.C.'s literary magazine, "The
Tower," will be published.

Social clubs for the girls of
abama College have been ap-
proved by the administration,
any interesting activities have
ready been planned by the
hree clubs, Theta, Omega, and
Kappa. The first of these activi-
is rush.

ill girls who are interested in
:oming rushees should attend
the general meeting for Rush on
Monday, February 6, 1967, from
to 7 p.m. in the audio-visual
»m of the Student Union Build-
Attire will be Sunday dress.

Registration for those who
sh to take part in Rush activi-
will be held February 7, 1967,
in the Dean of Women's office,
dollar fee ($1.00) must be paid
on registration.

Hie Thetas, the Omegas, and
Kappas will begin Rush of-
cially by giving teas on Wednes-

day, February 8, 1967.

If you are interested in learn-
ing more about Theta, Omega,
and Kappa, attend the general
meeting on February 6. After
learning more about these three

social clubs, you may want to
become a rushee. See you Mon-
day, February 6!

Peace Corps Test Given

Those interested can obtain an
application from J. R. Wilkin-
son, the Peace Corps Liaison on
campus, at the local post office,
or by writing to Peace Corps,
Washington, D. C. 20525.

The carefully completed ques-
tionnaire should be submitted to
the tester. The test last about a
half hour.

Are you interested in journ-
alism, especially newspaper
work? If so, come to the Tower
any night. Visit with the edi-
tors and staff of The Alabam-
ian, see how the paper is run
and sign up for an exciting
and profitable semester of
participating in the students'
voice!

Alabama College students will
have an opportunity to take the
Peace Corps Placement Test on
campus on February 25, 1967. It
will be given in 105 Jeter Build-
ing at 10:00 a.m.

Eight more nations have asked
for Peace Corps volunteers in
1966. More than 10,000 volunteers
are needed to enter training in
the coming year for service in
one oof the 53 developing coun-
tries in Latin America, Asia and
Africa where volunteers work.

The Placement Test is non-
competitive and is designed to

match an applicant's capabilities
with an appropriate overseas as-
signment. With more than 300
job skills to pick from, it's not
a hard job. The test also meas-
ures language-learning ability to
determine whether an applicant
can be trained in a new language
or should be assigned to an Eng-
lish-speaking project.

The most important factor in
selection of volunteers, however,
is not the test, but the question-
naise, or application, which must
be completed before the appli-
cant takes the Placement Test.

| , entative Tom Stubbs, Helena; State Senator W. G. McCarley, Prattville; and Dr. M. L. Orr,
•' Mayor of Montevallo. (A.C. News Photo by Ed Blake.)

Alabama College rolled out the
red carpet last week for two
members of the state legisla-
ture, Shelby County representa-
tive Tom Stubbs, Jr., of Helena,
and state senator W. G. McCar-
ley of Prattville, who represents
Autauga, Chilton, Coosa, and
Shelby Counties in the state's 15th
Senatorial District.

On hand to greet the recently
elected legislators were business-
men from the Mnotevallo area
as well as Alabama College's
faculty and staff personnel.

Stubbs and McCarley were in-
troduced at an informal reception
in Reynolds Hall, and toured the
campus, viewing among other
things, construction work now
under way on a new library,
science building and home man-
agement laboratory.

AC President Dr. D. P. Clup
said the day's activities had a
twofold objective: to give local
citizens an opportunity to meet
their state legislators personally;
and to serve as an orientation
session between the college and
the legislators.

In a meeting with Dr. Culp and
Board of Trustees members
James Tingle of Birmingham and
board chairman Wales Wallace
of Columbiana, Stubbs and Mc-
Carley were given a "progress
report" on the college's academic
and physical development. They
also discussed problems and

needs of the college, both cur-
rent and projected, with the ad-
ministrative leaders.

A Patch Of Green

By David B. Phillips

The campus of A.C. is beginning to open like
a rose bud in spring. Like a rose bud with its
thorns, we have a few thorns too, but they will
pass in the glory of our new buildings. Excite-
ment is underlying everything, and the weather
is helping. A few brave souls have even put
down their convertible tops and welcomed the
near-spring air. Comer is getting busier day by
day, or shall I say evening by evening. One of
the great charms of A.C. is the polka-dotted ef-
fect of lovers strolling around the campus, or
leaning against some tree. The lake is popular,
and our unwritten law of putting trash away

makes it ideal for the lovers and fishers, and
drivers. Soon we hope to add lights and extend
the open hours of the lake to include the eve-
ning. It is even possible to perhaps clean up the
lake, or a section of it for swimming. We shall
see, for there is already a movement underway
for just such a purpose. In this superficial world
we have called reality, I can't think of a better
place to be than here on the campus of ol' A.C.
So get a book and a date, and I'll meet you at
the lake, or in front of the library, it really
doesn't matter, and we'll revel in our patch of
green together.

Let Your Liver Quiver,
Baby!

In reading some of the past issues of The Alabamian, I have
found that too heavy of an influence is placed on the viewpoints
of the various campus intelligensia on the various issues facing the
world. Occasionally something is written on the monster in front
of New Men's Dorm whose daily activities include spreading my
car with small black particles (truly mod). Other times I have read
of the code of honor which governs our more than honorable stu-
dent body. Liberalism versus conservatism along with a general
complaint or two frequents the editorial page. It is the purpose of
this column to look at the lighter side of our existence here at
Montevallo Tech. In the weeks to come glance over here with an
open mind and a sense of humor. If I were a rock & roll singer,
and you were a lady, would you marry me anyway, would carry
my amplifier. Let your liver quiver, baby.

To The Editor

Hard Working Committee
Bites Back

Dear Editor:

In last week's Alabamian the
editorial was titled "A.C. Needs
Better Communications." The title
was appropriate to an extent. The
editor began by sighting an ex-
ample of poor communications on
a Concert and Lecture Series,
John Carradine. The campus
knows that there was fault in
communications, but whose fault
was it? The Alabamian gets it-
self out of trouble by saying,
"We'll try harder," then it at-
tacks the S.G.A. Communications
Committee. The Alabamian ad-
mits that the "committee has put
up poster after poster announc-
ing coming events." The Ala-
bamian states that the biggest
need in communications is in
"the public address system in the
cafeteria." As the upperclassmen
know, the announcements in the
cafeteria were seldom heard.
Whose job is it to get the pub-
lic address system fixed? Not
the S.G.A. Communications Com-
mittee.

To put the S.G.A. Communica-
tions Committee position clear (1)
we are in charge of publicizing
S.G.A. functions only, (2) con-
cert and lecture series are not
S.G.A. functions, (3) if we put
posters up, dull or not, and hand
out calendars, we can not make
the students read them or come
to the functions.

The extent that A.C. needs bet-
ter communications can only be
measured by the student partici-
pation. Name one S.G.A. spon-
sored event that was a flop be-

cause of lack of participation due
to lack of communications.

Whose Right
Was It?

Dear Editor:

It seems I've always been able
to keep quiet about any given
dispute unless the dispute is over
a subject close to my heart or if
the dispute has been blown out
of its proper proportion. I've
managed to keep silent about this
dispute until now because I have
not known the "official report."
I'm sorry to say I've read the
article on the "disposal" of a
stray dog and not only has my
stomach turned at the lack of in-
sight of those involved in this
incident, but my mouth is sour
because of the poor manner in
which the article was written.

Aside from being decidedly pre-
judiced, the report is a shallow
justification of poor judgment
and even poorer execution of
one's moral and civic responsi-
bilities. The article is quoted as
saying the dog "was killed on
the order of one of the campus
policemen, Mr. Thrasher, after
he had been bitten by the dog."
This may be fine and good for
those who are callous or take
all print for granted, but, as for
me, I have to know more.

On whose authority did the po-
liceman act to have the dog
killed? Surely it can't be ac-

Ed. Note - Touche!

Questions Previous Articles

Dear Editor:

The last issue of The Alabam-
ian had entered a letter from Da-
vid Keller concerning my com-
ments on an editorial by Editor
Boyer. Mr. Keller bases his en-
tire criticism on the premise that
Miss Boyer's editorial was writ-
ten in a satirical manner advo-
cating something to a much less
degree than actually stated. He
also states that I am "nowheres-
ville" because of the article I
wrote, and that he thought that
it was obvious that I was un-
familiar with Swift's satirical
masterpiece, "A Modest Pro-
posal." I guess I should plead
guilty on the charge of being
"nowheresville" because I prob-
ably do seem a bit odd to him.
If I were to describe Mr. Keller
by this method it would be some-
thing like wierdsville, but of
course I wouldn't do that because
I know him better than that. But
on the accusation that I am un-
familiar with Swift's works, may
I say that he is wrong. I studied
Swift in high school and have
been acquainted with "A Mod-
est Proposal" and its satirical
mood for some time. But I see
absolutely no parallel between

Swift's work and Miss Boyer's.
If there is satire is Miss Boyer's
article it is not obvious either to
me or to the many people who
complimented my criticism on it
or to an English professor who
teaches the use of these tools
of writing who corrected my
article for my benefit. I there-
fore say that Miss Boyer meant
her article as it was stated and
I therefore stand on my previous
statements of criticism.

And I would like to say to Mr.
Keller personally and to others
with long hair that I was not
speaking about him or his hair
or anyone else in .particular un-
less they look gross asd un-kept.
May I quote myself, "I am not
opposed to long hair or beards
as long as they are neat and
well kept." If he thinks his hair
is not well-kept, o.k. But I didn't;
say it or infer it. And I also did
not say, directly or indirectly,
that all people with long hair are
liberal, for at times my hair has
gotten rather long and I am well-
known as being an "ignorant Wal-
lacite, a hate-monger and racial
bigot." Though none of these ac-

Grissom, White
And Chaffee

By Bob Dinwiddie

The mysterious moon and the Universe beyond has claimed
first known sacrifices. Three gallant Americans who hoped to h
the first pedestrians on the moon are now lying in cemeteries
Arlington, Virginia, and Highland Falls, New York.

They could have been America's most famous pioneers. Now
they are dead. Three others replace them and the program goes
on. But they died well. Most probably they died in a way agree-
able to them; only too soon. Heroes don't die in bed.

They died on the ground, and Americans are accustomed
worldly death. There will be more deaths in the coming years,
though. Space crafts may crash on planets millions of miles from
Cape Kennedy or Houston. Space crafts may get lost in space an
simply never return. Others may burn up in re-entries. In short,
in the conquest of space, death will come in new and terrible
shapes. The American people will suffer in sincere anguish eac
time. There will be a short pause . . . and the program will con.
tinue. Isn't that the way it's done?

cepted that he acted on purely
personal reasons because the dog
had bitten him, for, had I had
all dogs killed that bit or snap-
ped at me, many dogs would be
dead. If the dog was a menace
or thought to be rabid, why did
the policeman ask a student to
do what was his duty?

The article continues, "The
boy was asked to do this un-
pleasant chore because he was
known to be a good hunter with
bow and arrow and the police
did not want to shoot the dog on
campus for fear of frightening
the students. The policemen had
tried, unsuccessfully, to get the
dog during the Christmas holi-
days." If this situation had been
treated in a sensible and humane
way, the dog would have been
caught and put to sleep. But
who am I or you to say the dog
should be killed? The dog could
have been caught if those in pur-
suit had used some human brains
(common sense). 1 pride myself
as a member of the National
Rifle Association and a marks-
man with both high powered
rifles and hand guns. Needless to
say, my services would have been
out of the question the same as
those of any other student. Be-

•enough to take life, especially
when there are other alternatives.
Granted, the loud report of a pis-
tol is not pleasing to the ear,

cusations are true, I am "some-
what" conservative.

I am sorry that Mr. Keller has
mis-interpreted my comments.
But to those it does apply to I
stand on my previous statements.

Tuesday's Game

lax State Defeats Fighting Falcons

Jan. 31— The Alabama College
Jcons and Jacksonville State
Diversity locked up in their sec-
high scoring battle of the
ar Tuesday night, this time at
Jacksonville. Once again the win-
ning team scored over one cen-
tury mark and once more the
losers came close to the magic
circle. Unfortunately for Alabama
College, Jax State has won both
of the high scoring affairs — the
first game 111-98 and this game
112-96. Incidentally, Jacksonville
State reset a Falcon record— for
highest score by an opponent, re-
set because they set the old
mark of 111 points that they set
in the first encounter. Both clubs
had four men double figures;
however, among these, Jax State
had all four of theirs over the
twenty point mark, while the
Falcons could only manage to
get two over the twenty point
figure. The Falcons led at half-
time 49^14 behind the hot hand
of Marshall Killingsworth, who

threw in seventeen of his twen-
ty-three points during the first
half; however, Jacksonville
smashed the Falcons the second
half, behind the torrid twenty-
two point output of Bill Brant-
ley, and won by some fourteen
points. Fouls continue to plague
the Falcons as they have all
year. Four Falcons fouled out-
George Johnston, Mike Killimet,
Dan Nelson, and Bill Rountree —
who had contributed forty-two
points to the Falcon total. In
addition to sometimes subtract-
ing points from a team's total,
fouls also add points to the other
team's output, and Jacksonville
took advantage of this aspect
quite well also. They made good
on thirty of forty-eight free
throws as compared to only six-
teen of twenty-six free throws.
The difference from the line,
therefore, was fourteen points,
the final margin of victory for
Jax State.

For Jacksonville, Buddy Cor-
nelius led the way with twenty-

nine points, followed by Paul
Trammell with twenty-five, Brant-
ley, twenty-four, and Craig Helms
with twenty-two. Killingsworth led
A.C. with twenty-three, followed
by Henry Ezell with twenty-two,
and Mike Killimet and Bill Roun-
tree with fifteen apiece. The next
home game is against the Uru-
guay National Team tomorrow
night at 7:30. Everyone make
plans to attend and to give our
foreign visitors a hearty welcome.

Spring Sports In The Air

By Mike Malone, Sports Editor

Whether the calendar acknowledges the fact or not, spring is
just a few weeks away for the men who will participate in the
upcoming varsity sports. February is the starting date for regular
practive sessions of baseball, golf and tennis. This year, the Ad-
ministration, in cooperation with the Physical Education Depart-
ment, has provided spring-sport participants the opportunity to
register early, thereby allowing the athletes a way to schedule
their classes in the morning. This is a terrific aid to the athletes
and the program itself;to have a successful season, the practice
sessions must be attended! Therefore, with no class conflicts at
four o'clock in the afternoon, an individual can devote his full
time to mastering his respective sport. I feel that Alabama College
will witness the excellent results of this farsighted move by the
Administration, if not this season, those soon to come.

Incidentally, all men interested in going out for one of these
sports contact Joe Rufner (tennis), Frank Lightfoot (baseball),
Dr. Tishler (golf). "One word to the wise" (athlete) — start run-
ning now, before it's too late!

A couple of weeks ago Vince Lombardi, coach of the world-
champion Green Bay Packers, was asked: "Coach, now that you've
beat Kansas City, are the Packers number one in the nation?"
His reply to the facetious question was: "No, we haven't played
Alabama yet!"

Alabama are sponsoring an Ala-
bama Dance Symposium (modern
dance) to be held on our cam-
pus Saturday, February 4, 1967,
9:00, New Gym.

Mrs. Katie Friedrichs and six
of her students will be coming
from Hammond, Louisiana, to
conduct the symposium. Mrs.
Friedrichs is Chairman-Elect of
the Dance Section of the South-
ern District Association for
HPER and has studied with such
renowned artists as Hanyce
Holm, Charles Weidman, Merce
Cunningham and Jose Limon.

The schedule is as follows:

9: 00-9: 30— Registration

vited to participate and bring
spectators to the symposium.

The Physical Education Depart-
ment invites you to come as a
spectator or participant. If you
wish to participate, please con-
tact Miss Crew.

This is a rare opportunity for
you to see and visit with dancers
in our state - . We hope you will
support this program and be will-
ing to help us on any job that
we might ask of you.

Jan. 28— Last Saturday night,
the Alabama College Falcons
played possibly their worst game
of the season in losing to the
Saint Bernard Saints 87-62. The
lifeless Falcons could only man-
age seventeen field goals to St.
Bernanrd's thirty-five, and, al-
though outscoring the Saints from
the foul line by some eleven
points, just couldn't quite plug
that thirty-six point gap. It was
the lowest field goal output of
the season for the Falcons, with
the previous low of twenty com-
ing against LaGrange in the
opening game of the season.

Alabama College took their first
and only lead of the game in
the opening minute of play. From
there, St. Bernard quickly jump-
ed out into the lead and held it
for the remainder of the gall
game. The largest Saint lead of
the first half was eleven points.
The last four minutes of the first
half and the first several minutes
of the second half contained most
of the bright spots in the game
for the Falcons, who cut the St.
Bernard lead to four at half-time,
36-32, and to two points in the
opening seconds of the second
half. However, the Falcons went
ice cold here and didn't score
again for four minutes. In the
meantime, Saint ace Paul Lyons,
who had been held to seven
points in the first half, got loose
to score sixteen points in the
second half, for a game leading
total of twenty-three. Thus, when
the Falcons shook off their cold
spell, key baskets by Lyons kept
them in the hole. Nevertheless,
the Falcons were bombed 51-30
during the second half. The loss
drops A.C.'s record to 3-9 for
the season; St. Bernard's record
is now 6-9.

The Saints had four players in
double figures; Lyons with twen-
ty-three; Joe LeMieux, sixteen;
and Dale Hardiman and Dennis
Meinert with twelve apiece. Co-
Captain Marshall Killingsworth
led A.C. with eighteen points, fol-
lowed by Dan Nelson with ten,

Expo 67, An Exciting
Canadian Birthday

Make way for the Big Show!
College Night is on the way. The
granddaddy of Alabama College
tradition, College Night is the
most looked forward to occur-
ance of the school year. Pooling
their talents, the Golds and Pur-
ples present their productions
the weekend following Washing-
ton's Birthday, February 23-25.

The event will bring AC's Pur-
ple and Gold teams together for
their annual competition on stage
and athletic court. Both sides
produce stage plays, built from
the group up by all-student crews
including script, music, stage sets
and all other elements of stage
production.

They also field basketball teams
which meet in a three-game se-
ries, adding another dimension to
the original drama competition
which began in 1919.

Chosen recently in a campus-
wide election to head the rival
teams were Purple leaders Bon-
nie Pike, Huntsville, and Jerry
Hopkins, Hueytown, and Gold
leaders Vicki Hymel, Mobile, and
Douglas Burnham, Addison.

Both sides are ahead of sched-
ule, according to spokesmen from

MONTREAL, Canada (Expo 67)
—North America's biggest and
fanciest birthday party is taking
shape here, just 40 miles north
of the U. S. border, on two
man-made islands and a penin-
sula in the St. Lawrence River.

They call it Expo 67, the Mon-
treal Universal and International
Exhibition, and it represents the
icing on the cake for Canada's
year-long celebration of her 100th
anniversary as a confederation.

This frosting won't be cheap.
Canada alone is investing at least
$350,000,000 in Expo 67, and 70
other countries that will partici-
pate are spending hundreds of
millions more for the most dazz-
ling array of international pa-
vilions ever erected in one place.

At least 13,000,000 Americans
are expected to cross the border
next year to help Canadians cele-
brate their nation's centennial,
and approximately half of them
(about 6,000,000) will visit the
mammoth Montreal exhibition du-
ring its six-month run, April 28
to October 27.

It stacks up as the greatest
short-term tourist migration ever
recorded.

Expo 67 will be the first in-
ternational exhibition of the
"First Category" ever held in
the Western Hemisphere, . and
only the third ever. Because it
enjoys the official sanction of
the Bureau of International Ex-
hibitions (B. I, E.) in Paris, it
has attracted the support of gov-
ernments from all parts of the
world.

Reaffirming its long-standing

friendship for Canada, the Unit-
ed States is building one of the
largest and most eye-catching
pavilions as a result of a $9,-
300,000 appropriation by Congress.

The Communist world will be
represented by the Soviet Union,
Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia, and
Cuba.

"Man And His World"

True to the traditions of world
exhibitions, Expo 67 carries a
theme that tests the ingenuity
&nd stimulates the intelligence of
the participants. The pavilions
and special events at Expo 67
will portray "Man and His
World," a theme drawn from the

have been appointed to direct
all phases of the event, scripts
are completed and casts chosen,
and both basketball squads are
working with an eye toward their
first clash of the 1967 series on
Feb. 17.

Yet to be choser. are drum-

dents usually select a member of
the college's staff or faculty to
honor.

Homecoming will be held on
Saturday, Feb. 25, in conjunction
with College Night. A full slate
of activities is planned for for-
mer students returning to Mon-
tevallo, according to Mrs. Ker-
mit Mathison, director of alumni
affairs at AC.

Saturday morning homecoming
events include registration and
coffee, a joint meeting of the
Alumni Board and Council, open
house at the president's home on
Flowerhill, and the annual home-

Alabama College The Beautiful

We are a bunch of lucky
kids! Looking around right
now our campus looks like
one vast vat of mud, red
even. But think ahead a little.
In a few months, when the
mud is hidden by fresh grass,
and the clouds are less fre-
quent, you will again see why
the signs advertise "Beauti-
ful Alabama College."

More striking than the visual effect is the
small-college-atmosphere that the very buildings
exude. How many visitors have exclaimed over
the freshness of the air and the ivy-leagueness
of the student companionship. You might think
that it isn't all that outstanding, but have you
ever looked closely at other institutions of high-
er education? Have you ever been trampled un-

der an immense crowd scurrying across a cro
ed street? Have you ever attended class
class in row after regimented row of brick cubes?
Even older, more historic schools in the state
can't compete against the intimacy of our own,
Alabama College.

We should be proud of it. We should take bet.
ter notice of the impressions we give to out
siders. A southern school praised for its south
em hospitality has no business bickering unrea,
sonably among themselves, much less being rude
and insolent to guests, regardless of who they
are.

We need to look at ourselves and our school.
We need to see what we have (and it isn't any
thing to scoff at) and try to preserve the beaut;
our our little world (that's what a college is
isn't it?) so people will go on talking about Ala-
bama College the Beautiful. — N.E.B.

Off Campus Housing

Sometimes we, the students of Alabama Col-
lege, deserve to be reprimanded, but sometimes
we get a real slap in the face for actions we
are not responsible for. One such slap in the
face is the Honor Code (I have enumerated that
subject in an earlier editorial) and another, the
subject of this editorial, is off campus housing.

In Montevallo alone, there are over 75 apart-
ments available for use by Alabama College stu-
dents. I advocate the use of these apartments by
those students 21 or older. Why should we be
forced to live three in a room, with only two
desks, two closets and two sets of shelves when
off campus housing would be an obvious remedy?
I think that it might be a serious reason for a
new student's withdrawal from college, if he
has to live three in a room and fight for every
inch of space.

In all aspects of living in this society, 21 is
the magic number. Let us therefore assign it the
turning point, and let those students willing and
21 be able to use these apartments. There is a
cry I hear already, and the keys are not even

cold. There is not enough housing with even 75
because of married students and single teachers.
Anyone familiar with the process of supply and
demand will immediately recognize the effect of
approval from the administration for off cam-
pus housing. New life would flow into this town
and new buildings would follow. Competition
would prosper and the housing would get better
and better. I have already talked with financiers
and they agree that it would be a good invest-
ment to build new apartments for the college
students, and it appears that the price would be
comparable with that or dormitory living. Of
course it would be more expensive, but as I said,
only for willing students.

By not allowing off campus housing, the ad-
ministration is merely trying to l-etain its hold
on the students. Think of the loss of power of
the deans if students could exercise self-control,
initiative, responsibility, and maturity.

Any response toward this movement will be
reviewed and perhaps our SGA will echo the
sentiments of the student body as they claim to
do.

To The Editor

W.R.S.D. Replys

Dear Editor:

In reference to Mr. Crawford's
letter concerning communications
on the campus of Alabama Col-
lege, I would like to remind him
and everyone of the facilities at
their disposal created specific-
ally for communications. Radio
was conceived by man to help
him communicate with his fel-
low man. This is the goal of
the campus radio station. The
participating members give val-
uable time and much effort to
provide this campus with com-
munication.

Any student sponsored event is
publicized at no cost each hour
until the event takes place. I
would go so far as to say that
90% of the student body have
radios at their disposal. W.R.S.D.
operates seven days a week and
seven and a half hours a day.

In an effort to publicize not
only S.G.A. events but all cam-
pus activities concerning the stu-
dent body and faculty, a five
minute program every hour at
twenty minutes past the hour is
broadcast. Any event brought to
the attention of the staff is broad-
cast on this program. Mr. Craw-
ford and other members of the
student body have failed to avail
themselves of this service.

The station, along with The
Alabamian cannot be expected

to inform others when they them-
selves are not informed of these
events. Ours is not to editorialize

but to inform, we call them as
we see them.

Our service is available on the
second floor, west wing, Reynolds
Hall, between 4:30 and 6:00 p.m.

I remain at your service —

Let Your Liver Quiver,
Baby!

By David Keller

The last issue of The Alabamian has to be a gas. I cannot go
on without a comment or two. To Cassius Forsman, I fully realize
that I left myself wide open for the swivel punch when I referred
to you as nowheresville (only, of course, on your views on this
particular issue, certainly not on your character). I now realize that
I should have cited you as an individual negatively stimulating the
intellectual attitude of the readers. I am pleased to announce that
this is the last comment on Mr. Forsman. No applause.

It sorta looks like there will be a bow and arrow up for sale
real cheap.

A few weeks ago during the big event of the day for all A.C.
students (checking the mail) I noticed seated in the SUB Ago go
a couple of new girls. On closer observation I discovered them to
be only a couple of long haired kooks who were members of the
band that I didn't know was playing here that night. Communi-
cation?

In the next issue there will be a candid comment on the
cultural revolution in the snake cage in the hall of Bloch.

Incidentally, I would like to thank all the friends who sent me
invitations to the meeting on the girls' social clubs formation. I
regret that I am unable to join because of reasons beyond my

control.

What evil lurks in
THE SHADOW?

Education

By Bob Dinwiddie
Dr. Ernest Stone is the new superintendent of Alabama's pu
lie schools.

Quoting from a Birmingham News story of Jan. 25, 1967, c
cerning higher education: "Capacity enrollment in recently esta
lished trade schools and junior colleges was cited by Dr. Stone
proof that they were sorely needed and that others must be adde
The where and when of such schools has a high priority on
department agenda."

Less than two weeks later the Alabama Education Association,
meeting in Montgomery, called for a moratorium in the construe
tion of new institutions. Until a commission of leading educator
can make a thorough investigation of the state's present educa-
tional facilities, the AEA is against the building of new trad
schools, junior colleges, colleges or universities. The AEA is als
opposed to the plan to add a law school to Troy State College
and to the change of status of any state school- (i.e., a change from
college to university). The AEA recommended that no state funds
be used in the establishment of new institutions or programs.

Trade schools, junior colleges, colleges and universities are
fine institutions. All are needed. But we shouldn't fool ourselves.
Very few people are educated in them. Education comes in gram-
mar school, junior high, and high school. The quality of secondary
education dictates the quality of higher education. It is unreason-
able to expect students to come out of a lax, unstimulating second-
ary school environment and enter a tough, demanding higher edu-
cation system.

It is easy to throw up a pile of bricks and call it a junior
college. QUANTITY we have. George Wallace made bale after bale
of political hay by strewing junior colleges around the state. But
where does the QUALITY come from? Where else but from the
students?

Alabama is cushioned from the bottom of the education ladder
by Mississippi. The education provided by our public schools
abysmally poor. Number 1 in football and Number 49 in educatio
has become a truism. Governors come and go and we remain num-
ber 49 in education. It's accepted as a fact of life. When the No-
1 football team suddenly becomes No. 3, thousands of infuriated
Alabamians rush off strongly-worded letters to the editors decry-
ing the same Yankee conspiracy that our state leaders are so fond
of blaming for all our problems. No one is infuriated over a school
system that habitually barely squeaks in the Top 50.

The state plan should be to improve education on the sec-
ondary level, to make a truly quality system. The means will
necessity be almost revolutionary. But it must be done. By raising
the secondary education level, higher education will automatical!
benefit by receiving better prepared students. They can stop teach-
ing four years of remediation.

It will be much harder than building junior colleges. If it W
not done, Alabama can look forward to another century of float-
ing in the stagnant backwash of the other states. It's bad enough
being backward, but being backward and proud of it is the height
of idiocy.

It is hoped that the reason for the recommendation of the AEA
is to initiate a complete revamping of our public school system-
Maybe it will become fact in this century.

eb. 4 — Last Saturday night,
e Alabama College Falcons won
their fourth game of the year,
74-63, over the Florence State
Lions. It was a methodical per-
formance for the Falcons who
didn't appear to get very excit-
ed any time in the ball game,
but just beat back any advance
the Lions made. It was the third
conference win for A.C.; they
have six conference losses.

The Falcons took an early lead
and held it throughout the first
half. Florence came close sev-
eral times but each time they
got close A.C. moved further into
the lead. Florence caught the
Falcons at an ebb right before
the half and closed the lead to
31-30 at halftime. At the begin-
ning of the second half, the Fal-
cons jumped out to a seven point
lead and held that lead for eight
minutes. At this point Florence
took the lead 46-44; four minutes
later the Falcons regained the
lead, and, although Florence led
once more 51-50, the night was
theirs. A.C. pulled away in the
last three minutes to win by
eleven. Florence never quit and
showed great determination, but
Falcons were too much for

them.

Marshall Killingsworth led A.C.
with twenty-eight points, followed
by Mark Riggins with fifteen and
Mike Killimet and Henry Ezell
with ten points apiece. Andy
Bolding led Florence with fifteen
points, followed by Barnes with
fourteen.

Feb. 6— The Alabama College
Falcons lost a hard fought bat-
tle to the Huntingdon Hawks in
Montgomery Monday nnight, 99-
82. For the Falcons, it was a dis-
appointing loss for they played
rather well, with the exception
of two dry spells. The key to the
Hawk victory was their stopping
Marshall Killingsworth, who has
led the Falcons in scoring going
into the with with a 16.2 average.
Killingsworth became ill during
the first half and although play-
ing some during the second half,
just couln't get on the score-
board.

The first half was nip and tuck,
with the lead changing hands
nine or ten times; the spread
never exceeded three points un-
til the last three minutes. Bill
Rountree and Henry Ezell led the
way for the Falcons in the first
half with eleven and twelve
points respectively. The fine re-
bounding of George Johnston also
figured heavily. However, A.C.
went cold in the last several
minutes of the first half and con-
tinued so in the second half and
fell behind seventeen points.
From here the Hawks coasted
to their twelfth victory of the
year.

Lloyd Julian led Huntingdon)
with twenty-three points, followed

by Bricken with twenty, Ricky
Myrick with seventeen, Niemann
with eleven, and Barr with nine.
Ezell led A.C. with twenty-two
points, followed by Rountree with
sixteen, and Ralph Butler and
Mike Killimet with eleven each.
The Falcons are on the road this
weekend against Athens, and Flor-
ence, and return home next Sat-
urday night against Belhaven in
their last home game of the year.

Expo 67

(Continued from page 1)

works of the French writer and
aviator, Antoine de Saint-Exu-
pery.

Expo 67's central theme will
be expressed through five ma-
jor sub-themes depicting man as
creator, explorer, producer, pro-
vider, and member of the com-
munity.

Spectacular Pavilions

Ever since the first world's
fair at London's Crystal Palace
in 1851, world exhibitions have
been noted for unusual and dra-
matic architecture. Expo 67 is
no exception.

American visitors are sure to
be impressed by their govern-
ment's bid to steal the show. The
U. S. Pavilion will be the tallest
on the grounds, a 20-story alumi-
num-framed plastic bubble. Shap-
ed as a geodesic dome, it is the
brainchild of famed architect-
engineer Buckminster Fuller. The
exhibit will portray "Creative
America," with emphasis on tech-
nology and space conquests.

But the Soviet Union is mount-
ing a formidable challenge. Mos-
cow (which will observe the 50th
anniversary of the Bolshevik
Revolution in 1967) is erecting a
huge pavilion topped by a canti-
levered roof. The $15,000,000 pa-
vilion's major attraction prom-
ises to be a room where visitors
will experience weightlessness,
just as the astronauts do.

Canada, befitting the host coun-
try, is spending more than $20,-
000,000 on a pavilion that it hopes
will dominate the 1.000-acre,
canal-laced exhibition site. Shap-
ed as an inverted pyramid rising
nearly 200 feet, the structure will
project a dramatic image of
Canada's contributions to inter-
national culture and commerce.

Britain, France, Italy, West
Germany, Japan, India, Austra-
lia, Brazil, Mexico, Israel— all are
preparing elaborate pavilions. So
are dozens of younger countries.
At Africa Place, 22 nations will
jointly demonstrate how the Dark
Continent is striding into the mod-
ern era without sacrificing its
unique and exotic cultures. The
five Scandinavian countries are
joining hands in a pavilion that
will show the finest in design and
culture. The nations of the Arab
League are sponsoring a coopera-
tive pavilion, and the Latin Amer-
ican nations will jointly host the
exciting Plaza de las Americas.

Besides the national and theme
pavilions, three American states
—New York, Maine, and Vermont
—are participating. So is the city
of Paris. The United Nations is
sponsoring an exhibit. Several
dozens of Canada's leading cor-
porations will also take part. In
the spirit of ecumenism, eight
Christian faiths are co-sponsoring
a single pavilion dedicated to re-
ligious brotherhood.

Architects serving all these
participants have been given free
rein in their choice of design
concepts and materials. As a re-
sult, visitors will be surrounded
by a variety of structural shapes
on their journey through the
"world in miniature" that is ris-
ing on schedule on the banks of
River.

In the next issues of The Ala-
bamian a esries, "A Random
Guide to Montreal," will be run
for the benefit of the lucky stu-
dents who will be able to at-
tend Expo 67.

A New Story

The Executioner

By D. M. Roberson

The rope jerked, then tightened and was slowly overcome by
a steady pressure, I had seen it a hundred times in the last month.
Still I had to laugh as the prisoner kicked his feet and tried to
scream when the rope cut into his neck. The job as head execu-
tioner for the state was usually boring except for the highest gov-
ernment executions such as this one.

I had heard of great forces, used to eliminate prisoners in
earlier generations, which were called electricity. I was told by the
state that these were only rumors spread by the lower class and
that hanging was the only method ever used for executions. I knew
that people would never stand for anything less sanguinary, for
they liked to jeer and laugh at the condemned as did I. However,
the people had nothing to say in the matter, for the state deter,
mined executions as they had since all crimes were given the
death penalty. The state was always" right.

From my birth in 2029 I had been curious, and being 39 years
of age could not change that. Since it was rumored that the pris-
oner awaiting execution had great knowledge of all things I used
my position as executioner to visit him and ask questions concern-
ing the past. This was with great danger to myself for the state
allowed no questions of the past.

He was quite genial and eager to talk to anyone who was will-
ing to listen. Although he could suffer no more for talking against
the state, I would be executed for listening, therefore I could tell
no one what he told me.

The trouble began in the early 1970's when the entire world
was on the brink of a thing called Nuclear War. I don't know why
it was called this but it evidently never happened, for there are
no spears or clubs laying around. He then told me of electricity.
He did not really know what it was but he knew that it made
light and was almost identical to lightning and could kill a man
immediately. I then saw why it was not used for executions.

One group of men tried to stop this electricity so they could
conquer another group. They did this by putting great rock like
things called satellites around the earth. Soon he told me how they
did this, but I was busy thinking of electricity and what the state
would do if they heard this conversation. Anyone against the state
was put to death because the state was for the good of the people
and anyone not for the good of the people had to be put to death.
I wondered why I listened to this mad-onan'rave but I still listened.

His breathing became quicker as he talked on. He talked of
all transportation being stopped without electricity and slowly ev-
evrything stopped and man's ambition was crushed. Then he turned
to my life and told me that I was only one link in the deteriora-
tion of man and soon there would be nothing. The state was con-
trolled by a few leaders who knew of the mistakes of man and
used them for their own advantage ... "Stop," I cried, "you're
insane, the state is for the good of all. Now I know why you're
being executed, you ARE against the state and the people, the
state is always right. I will enjoy executing you."

The rope jerked, then tightened and was slowly evercome by
a steady pressure, I had seen it a hundred times in the last month.
Still I had to laugh as the prisoner kicked his feet and tried to
scream when the rope cut into his neck. The job as head execu-
tioner for the state was usually boring except for the highest gov-
ernment executions such as this one.

Mathematics vs. Ideology
In Vietnam Problem

If a consideration of American
withdrawal from Vietnam is to be
based — as the recent speaker on
the A.C. campus, Bob Bailey,
contends — on humanitarian prin-
ciples, then it seems to this writ-
er that the speaker's brand of
humanitarianism must be exam-
ined. Mr. Bailey's, it appears, is
based upon the mathematical pre-
ferability of a "peaceful" Com-
munist take-over to the present
high casualty rate in Vietnam.
The mathematics involved in as-
sessing numerical loss of human
lives is elementary, and assum-
ing that a Communist take-over
would be peaceful after Ameri-
can withdrawal, true. True also
is Mr. Bailey's consideration of
the film shown, "Time of the Lo-
custs," as ample testimony to the
fact, quote, that "war is hor-
rible." However, this writer con-
tends that Mr. Bailey's humani-
tarianism, comprised of the stat-
ed mathematics and his unorigi-
nal observation that "war is hor-
rible," does in fact beg the ques-
tion.

The question is, to we who are
Americans, the conflict between
democracy's insistence upon the
worth of the free individual and
communism's well-known disre-
gard for any but the material as-

pects of human nature. The ques-
tion is not mathematical bu
ideological, in the sense that the
quality of human existence, dis-
regarded when subjected to com
munism's godless totalitarianism
is at stake in Southeast Asia,
well as loss of life.

Americans past and present
have died in numbers mathe-
matically staggering to protect _
quality of life— an ideal— which
they cherish. Mr. Bailey's film
however, ignores the sacrifice o
American lives in Vietnam, choos
ing rather to make a wretchedly
cheap play upon one's already,
present sympathies for the war-
beleaguered Vietnamese people.
Furthermore, the film's impliet
comparison of American forces
to a plague of locusts feeding
upon Southeast Asia can be con-
sidered only as a blatant mis-
representation of the Unitec
States' intentions in Vietnam.

This comment upon Mr. Bai-^
ley's presentation is an attempt
to refute his "humanitarianism"
as specious. The fallacy of such*
humanitarianism, which woul "
turn over Southeast Asia to
communist regime, lies in its
short-sightedness.

February 27, Phi Alpha

Present a paper.

Does mention of the Tower con-
jure up in Alabama College stu-
dents a picture of the historic
landmark which the Class of '66
put in the spotlight? Or does it
bring to mind those unrelentless
chimes summoning one to schol-
arly siestas in Comer? For the
less historical or sonambulistic-
minded, perhaps the Tower is
the campus literary magazine.
(This is the reaction we were
hoping for!)

"The Tower" is eager to dis-
cover creative ability in student
literary endeavors here at A.C.
Its very name symbolizes the
aspirations of the "Tower" staff
—to publish the highest quality
creative works brought to its
attention.

However, such works must be
brought to the Tower's atten-
tion for consideration. The staff
is anxious to receive student

work whether it be poetry, short
stories, essays or drama. Every-
one wishing to contribute under
any of these categories to the
Spring 1967 edition should sub-
mit his entries to the "Tower"
office, second floor of the Tower,
by February 28, or should con-
tact Greg Henry, editor. Entries
should be clearly marked by
title and author, and preferably,
though not necessarily, typed.

All contributions will be given
careful consideration and return-
ed to their authors, whether pub-
lished or not.

"What's it gonna be?" A G.V.?
A P.V.? A poor deprived person,
perhaps a freshman, may not
exactly understand what's going
on when two groups of people
start yelling "P-U-R-P-L-E VIC-
TORY" and "EAT 'EM UP,
LEO" at each other. It's all a
part of College Night, A.C.'s
Homecoming— and it brings with
it the excitement of competition
between the Golds and Purples
and the opportunity for students
to support the side they choose
in whatever field they show tal-
ent.

Each year the student body
elects two leaders for each side.
These leaders then choose a cab-
inet who work together to co-
ordinate the many activities re-
lated to College Night. The Gold
leaders for this year are Vicki
Hymel and Doug Burnham; the
Purple leaders are Bonnie Pike
and Jerry Hopkins. Listed below
are the cabinet members for
both sides:

The Values Of College Night

About this time of the year,
every year, the old arguments
about College Night have
made their appearances and
are being fired back and
forth between the Golds, Pur-
ples and the "Greens." The
two biggest arguments are
(1) that College Night divides
the school and makes it dif-
ficult to have a unified front on any occasion, no
matter how far from College Night, and (2) that
it is a waste to put on two short mediocre pro-
ductions when, by pooling their resources, the
sides could put on one really good full-length
show.

We are all for College Night. Being a Purple
or Gold surely does not make one a permanent
enemy of anyone of a different color. If it does
it is the fault of the individual for, although a
loyal follower of the Golden Lion, some of our
closest friends are just as loyal to the "Lucky

Lady."

As for the waste of talent and money — College
Night is not professional theatre, or supposed to
be. College Night is a rare chance for everyone
to get a first-hand glimpse of the fascinating
world back-stage. By having two productions,
there is a resulting variety (there have never
been two shows even vaguely similar) that is
sure to entertain even the most demanding audi
ence.

Besides, College Night is fun! When do you
have a better chance to kid dor cut) the living
dickens out of your friends, and get it right
back then both go to the SUB for a coke before
departing for the scene and carpenter shops?
When does school spirit soar so high? What
other school has so interesting and unique a
Homecoming event? It's a good thing, this Col-
lege Night. Yea Gold! Yea Purple! Long live
College Night!

EDITORIALS

PHILLIPS

Contradictions are becoming prevalent in to-
day's society. That statement might seem trite,
as perhaps it is, but it rings the dull thud of
hushed truth. Can we, as future parents, afford
to sacrifice the mental health and general well-
being for the prejudices and contradictions of
others? The resounding echo is a voiceful NO!

I was raised, as were you, with the belief that
there is a distinct line between right and wrong,
and that the first guidelines were the Ten Com-
mandments. One of these commandments says
that we should not kill. It does not wander off
in a series of exceptions regarding war, yet now
we are told that we must bear arms against a
numerical foe with a different colored uniform.
Which is most important, the Bible and God and
Christ and Religion, or War and Capitalism and
M-80's and hand-grenades? We must make up our

Speaking Out

minds and and then instill these truths into our
future children. We must make up our minds
for or against capital punishment, and imbed
this ideal in our children. We must teach our
children how to think and evaluate, to consider
all sides of any sisue impassionately, and not to
take authority for the pure sake of authority.
We must make them responsible for their each
personal action.

In this way, perhaps our children will be re-
lieved of this ambiguity and contradictions that
impair a nation's mental health to such a point
that they follow anyone with no regard as to con-
sequences. I will have a difficult time explaining
this world to my children and I hope to God
they will be able to explain their world to their
children with a smile and seasoned with ra-
tionality.

What Have
Americans Done?

Dear Editor,

Maybe Bob Bailey was right.
What have the Americans done
in South Viet Nam except re-
storing military dictatorship to
the Vietnamese people from Sai-
gon (the Sin City of the World),
keeping two per cent of popula-
tion in control of forty per cent
of the land, killing two civilians
for every Viet Cong fighting the
puppet Saigon government, trying
to democratize a country which
only wants to be free from alien
influence.

So perhaps, the United States
Government should let the Viet-
namese people fight the Saigon
government— that is, if it doesn't
fly to Switzerland to pick up
some American dollars first.

ers," my full realization blos-
somed with great clamor to the
conclusion that negatively stimu-
lating individuals to intellectual
attitudes isn't such a bad thing,
for usually self-acclaimed intel-
lectuals are nothing more but
pseudo-intellectuals.

Mr. Dinwiddie:

Concerning your comment on
"Education." The problem of
bringing a deplorable educational
system to a much more satisfac-
tory one is great. Solving this
problem can' tbe done within the
span of just a few years, es-
pecially in a state with one of
the lowest overall tax collection
systems in the nation.

It is granted that some of our
high schools are lacking in qual-
ity, but much is being done to
alleviate this. For example, teach-
ers' salaries have been raised
and will be again, thus attract-
ing better instructors. But until
recently the biggest problem of
Alabama's educational system has
been to provide the opportunity
to the poor to continue their edu-
cation after high school. Until
the junior college system, ini-
tiated under the Wallace admin-
istration, the ones who couldn't
afford to live away from home

and pay high tuition fees had to
hunt for low-paying jobs or join
the military service. They now
have the opportunity to supple-
ment their high school education

Librarian
Apologizes

Dear- Miss Boyer:

I sincerely regret that certain
portions of my recent article on
primary sources was misunder-
stood. It was not my intention
to suggest or imply that any Ala-
bama College major was not in-
tellectually respectable. Since
Business Administration and
Home Economics traditionally are
not considered to be Liberal Arts
majors, I merely wished to em-
phasize that even these majors,
as well as all others, would nor-
mally be familiar with the term
"primary sources" in such a lib-
eral arts institution as Alabama
College.

Sincerely yours,

Mary Frances Tipton
Serials Librarian
Alabama College

I agree with you that more
must be done to improve the
quality of high school education
but we must provide for those
students who have already grad-
uated or will soon do so. Prob-

lems like this cannot be solved
as quickly as wished. Our pres-
ent state administration is con-,

inefficiencies of the past and
much is being done to alleviate'
them.

For Three Games

College Night Athletes
Chosen By Purples, Golds

Falcons Bow To Livingston
After Previous Win

Feb. 10— The Alabama College
Falcons journeyed to Florence
last Friday night and were de-
ed by a Florence State which
lhey had man-handled less than
a week before here at Monte-
vallo. Once again the Falcons
were beaten at the free throw
line. In the previous game, A.C.
had enjoyed the advantage; in
this one, Florence had more than
twice as many free throw at-
tempts, and capitalized on them
very well indeed. Florence made
thirty of forty-four free throw at-
tempts as compared with thirteen
of seventeen for the Falcons. Al-
though A.C. made more field
s than the Lions (28 to 24),
it was not enough to offset this
deficiency at the line.
The Lions led 35-30 at halftime,
and by virtue of twenty-one of
thirty free throws stretched their
lead to nine points during the
second period. The final score:
Florence State 78, Alabama Col-
69. The foul situation also
put prominent Falcons in diffi-
culty. Ezell and Killingsworth
fouled out; Everett, Killimet and
Rountree had four fouls; and Rig-
gins and Butler had three each.
Henry Ezell led the way for the

Falcons with eighteen points, fol-
lowed by Mark Riggins with
Fourteen and Bill Rountree and
Marshall Killingsworth with
twelve apiece. Andy Bolding and
Louis Vaughn with sixteen each.

For A.C.'s Falcons

Feb. 11— The Alabama College
Falcons lost their thirteenth game
of the year last Saturday night
10 the Athens College Bears at
Athens, 79-69. It was a hard
'ought battle with the Falcons
d °w n only one at the half, 37-36.
However, Athens, who is on a
-"6 win streak, poured it on
tlle second half to win by ten.
An oddity of the game was the
' ac t that not one free throw was
"ussed; Athens made twenty-
""■ee of twenty-three and A.C.
made seven of seven. The Fal-
uns out fieldgoaled the Bears

Highlighting the athletic side
of College Night will be the an-
nual Purple - Gold basketball
games held February 17, 21 and
25. The teams have shown some
real ability in practice. Both
coaches will be able to substi-
tute freely with the effective
squads they have.

The Purple side, coached by
Sam Heide, has a strong team
in its height and experience.
Starting at center for the Pur-
ples will be Sam Patterson.
Guards are Don Anderson and
Gerald Penecost, while Jerry
Stephens and Jim Harris will be
the starting forwards. Richard
Durham and Ed Briggs are also
to be counted on heavily. Round-

ing out the team are Jackie Nel-
son, Ron Smith, Lee Majors and
Blakey Crowe.

However, it seems that the
Golds also have their share of
capable players. Coach Junior
Murray will have a difficult time
deciding who ^o start. Under the
boards during the games will be
Mike Pierson, Mack Lyell, Roy
Davis, Doug McCay, Jim Dennis
and Mike Young. The Gold
guards include Darryl Baygents,
Danny Mobley, James Russ, Rob-
ert Towns and Mike Dutton.

Whether it will be a P.V. or a
G.V., there is bound to be a hot
basketball game all three nights.
So, if you are a Gold or Purple,
or even Green, come on down
and support your team.

This lively looking set of young men are the Purple basketball squad for 1967. First row: Jerry
Stephens, Ron Smith, Blakey Crowe, Jerry Penecost. Second row: Lee Major, Jim Harris, Ed
Briggs, Larry Patterson, Richard Durham, Jackie Nelson, Coach Sam Heide, Don Andrews.

Lqpking forward to another GV are the Gold cagers for College Night '67. First row: Jim Russ,
Darryl Baygents, Jim Dennis. Second row: Coach Junior Murray, Danny Mobley, Roy Davis, Mack
Lyell, Mike Dutton.

THE ALABAMIAN, Alabama Colle

A Random Guide
To Montreal

This is the first of a series presented by The Alabamian for
the benefit of the lucky few who will be able to trek to Montreal
for one of the biggest happenings of the century, Expo 67.

Here is a useful guide to Mon-
treal, assembled by a discrimi-
nating resident of that city who
takes his food and drink as
seriously as any other man.

Montreal is the second largest
French speaking city in the world
— next to Paris. It is situated on
a large island having the shape
of the top of an anvil, and is 32
miles long and over 10 miles
wide at one point. It is 201 square
miles in area. Mount Royal rises
770 feet above sea level. The is-
land itself lies in a wide sec-
tion of the St. Lawrence River
and is connected to the Cana-
dian mainland by bridges in all
directions. The city of Montreal
occupies about one quarter of
this area, and shares the island
with 29 other autonomous muni-
cipalities. The heart of Montreal
lies on the southern side of the
island. The Ottawa River flows
into the St. Lawrence at the
western end of the island.

Bilingual Montreal is Canada's
largest city — a cosmopolitan cen-
ter more than 320 years old. The
metropolitan area has a popula-
tion of over 2,000,000, about two-
thirds of whom are of French
origin, and about 20% of Anglo-
Saxon descent. Next come about
100,000 Italians who make up five
per cent of the population.

Greater Montreal is the seventh
largest North American city — im-
mediately after Greater Boston.
According to the Encyclopedia
Britannica it has approximately
the same population as Rome.
Montreal is the greatest inland
port in the world and on this
continent is second only to New
York as a seaport.

Montreal is located 100 miles
from the Atlantic at the eastern
extremity of the St. Lawrence
Seaway — a dredging and power
development valued at one bil-
lion dollars, which was jointly
financed by Canada and the
United States. The Seaway ex-
tends 1200 miles into the conti-
nent from Montreal.

The first white man to visit
Montreal was Jacques Cartier, an
intrepid French explorer who ar-
rived here in 1535. He found an
Indian village known as Hoche-
laga, which most historians say
was at the foot of the mountain
below the present site of McGill
University.

The commercial heart of the
city is considered to be Peel and
St. Catherine Streets.

Montreal is well-known in world
medical circles as a center of
research, particularly in neurol-
ogy.

The International Civil Aviation
Organization (I.C.A.O.), an agen-
cy of the United Nations, and the
International Air Transport As-
sociation (I.A.T.A.) have their
world headquarters in Montreal.

Weather

Spring and fall are mild (wool
sport-jacket weather), and sum-
mer is warm and pleasant. The
average summer temperature is
70 degrees, but it may get up
into the 90's; is you are in Mon-
treal during early spring or late
fall, make sure you have a light
outer-coat with you, in the event
that the chilly wind starts whip-
ping down the street.

Transportation

Public transit is readily avail-
able in Montreal— bus, subway,
and taxi.

Taxis— There are more than
4,000 cabs in the city, but they
are not inexpensive. The rate is
35 cents for the first sixth of a
mile, and five cents for each ad-
ditional sixth of a mile, with
waiting time costing five cents a
minute. A word of warning: some

of the cab drivers in this French
city speak little if any English,
so if you get out to a bistro in
the suburbs late at night, make
sure you know how to tell the
cab driver where you want to
go. You can call a cab from any
point in the city.

Buses — Some lines operate 24
hours a day, some only from
early morning to 7 p.m. You
should get a schedule, available
for a small sum from most news
dealers. The fare is 20 cents a
ride, no matter the distance.

Subways— There are two basic
subway lines in Montreal, a
north-bound line of 8.63 miles,
and an east-west line of 4.33
miles; by April, 1967, the east-
west line will be extended 3.17
miles; to go to Expo 67 and
across the St. Lawrence River.
Ride the subway; it costs just
20 cents, and it's the only rub-
ber-tired subway in North Ameri-
ca. It's quiet, clean, and fast,
and there's no long wait for
trains.

Money

In general, foreign currency is
not usable in Canada and is ex-
changeable only at large banks.
U.S. currency is accepted, but
you are advised to exchange it
for Canadian at any bank or at
the cashier's wicket in the larg-
er hotels. In Canada banks are
open 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., Monday
through Friday.

American Express is located at
1200 Peel (tel. 861-9921). It is
open Monday to Wednesday from
9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Thursday and
Friday the hours are from 9
a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday it is
closed.

Is Winning Everything?

An Alumnus Looks At College Night

By Fred Cooper, Class of '65

Paul Looney remarked years
ago, on the eve of the annual
celebration of George Washing-
ton's birthday, that he was not
out to beat a Purple. Looney was
Gold director in ' 1963 and such
a statement was construed by
some as heresy, but his reason-
ing was, and still is, sound. The
purpose of College Night, as with
any theatrical production, is to
entertain. Sometimes this aim is
lost in the shuffle of cheers and
lions and cows and almost mind-
less devotion.

Looney had no desire to under-
mine the basic College Night
spirit. He was simply pointing
out a fact that has too often
slipped by in the excitement of
beating a Gold or a Purple. If
the purpose is only to be a little
bit better than the other side,
and the other side is bad, then
what does a little bit better come
out to be?

If one play is met with fewer
groans than .the other, has that
side really won? And by the
same token, if the losing side
has entertained the audience, has
it really lost although the vot-
ing may put them on bottom?

An interesting paradox of Co
lege Night is that the losing si<3
is forgotten while the winner
rake in the glory, even though
the plays may be nearly identi
cal in quality. The reason for
this may be the only good poin
about the winning production
that it won, while the losing on
has no good points at all.
this entertainment?

Anything that is put on a stag
should have one main goal
please and entertain the audi-
ence. And if it fails to do that
the GV's and PV's can ring
Palmer until early Sunday morn*
ing. Both sides have still lost.
Only by the utilization of proper
talent in the proper positions and
by taking an objective view
ihe production itself can this
overcome. Too often, the winnin
play is just a little bit better
than poor. But with entertaining,
not victory, as the goal, no on
will ever lose College Night. And
for the side that doesn't get th<
nod in the final tabulation, ther
will be a feeling not of failur
but of satisfaction, a satisfaction
of knowing that the main pur
pose was served — the audienc
was entertained.

Dr. Salah El-Dareen of Egypt and Salem Khalaf of Jordan
will speak at the International Relations Club meeting Monday
night at 7:30 in the audio-visual auditorium in the Student Cen
ter. Everyone is invited to hear these two gentlemen in their
timely discussion of the problems in the Near East.

"Strange As It Seems" these three bewitching witches are ail part
of the excitement as the Purples cast their spell for College Night.
Aloice Tucker looks stunned as Elaine Zabel puts a curse on their
high priestess, Susan Patridge.

Dr. Hyde Selected
"Alumna Of The Year"

Dr. Mattie Isbell Hyde of Mo-
bile, one of the state's leading
female surgeons, has been nam-
ed as "Alumnus of the Year" by
Alabama College.

Announcement of Dr. Hyde's
selection to top alumnus honors
at AC was made recently by Mrs.
Kermit Mathison, director of
alumni affairs at the liberal arts
college.

Special ceremonies honoring the
Port City physician will highlight
the ansual Homecoming luncheon
Program at Montevallo on Sat-
urday, Feb. 25.

A member of the class of 1940,
Dr. Hyde received her B.S. de-
gree in physical science. As an
Undergraduate at AC she was ac-
tive in women's varsity athletics
and in student theatre, dance and
musical groups. She also served
°n the yearbook and student
newspaper staffs.

Following graduation from A.C.,
s he taught in the Marshall County
school system, and was in the
"rst class of WAVES to enter
the U. S. Navy in 1943. She was
a lieutenant at the time of her
release from active duty.

Dr. Hyde's medical training be-
gan as a laboratory medical
technician at Carraway Methodist
"Ospital in Birmingham. She re-

ceived her M.D. degree from the
University of Alabama Medical
College in 1951, interned at Bay-
lor Hospital in Dallas, and com-
pleted her residency training at
Women's Medical College in Phil-
adelphia, Pa.

She began her medical practice
in Mobile in 1955 as a physician-
surgeon, specializing in obstetrics
and gynecology. She now serves
on the staffs of Mobile Infirmary
and Providence Hospital, and con-
tributes professional services at
the Florence Crittenden Home
p.nd Allen Memorial Home in Mo-
bile.

A native of Guntersville, she is
listed in "Who's Who of Ameri-
can Women in North and South
America," and was elected to
membership in Alpha Omega Al-
pha, national medical honor fra-
ternity.

That College Night fever is still
rising as the fight for victory
continues between the PURPLES
and the GOLDS. After two bas-
ketball wins the GOLDS will be
straining to make it three-out-of-
three in the final game Saturday.
But those PURPLES won't be
standing still! Having last the
first two games by extremely
small margins, they will really
be on their toes to turn the
tables Saturday.

The first presentation of both
sides' productions will be offered
tonight at 8:15 in Palmer. The
weeks of preparation that have
gone into this year's productions
will come to a climax in the
presentation of original costumes,
music, and scripts. Under the
PURPLE lights will be Susan
Patridge, Elaine Zabel, Aloice
Tucker, Chris Thomas, Jack
Spahr, Joe Taylor, Paula Owens,
Jayne Mynard, Laurel Bethea,
Suzanne Tucker, Wanda Foster,
Mary Webb Pryor, Gwyn Foster,
Pinkie Elrod, Rebecca Dunaway,
Lucy Hallman, Sherry Mynatt,
Susan Villadsen, Sidney Edwards,
Tommy Killian, Jimmy Jones,
Jim Hyche, Mike Holland, Tom-
my Dungy, and Woodie Stevens.

Under the GOLD lights will be
Jerry Skclton, Judy Gibbs, Doug
Burnham, Beverly Brasell, Nicki
Peacock, Leo, Elaine Toney,
Randy Troup, Dan McCrimmon,
Rick Carter, Ann Culwell, Ellen
Wright, Ron Harris, Vicky Black,
Becky McLaughlin, Eddie Austin,
Rick Spitler, Barbara Seymour,
Sunny Jordan, John David Har-
ris, Dan Gaughan, Charlie White,
Rick Bryant, Bobby Glidden, Cyn-
thia Wester, James Waid, and
Ken Walden.

These two fine casts will do
their best in the coming perform-
ances to prove it's gonna be a
real G.V.— or is it a P.V.? Come
on over to Palmer and voice your
opinion — Thursday, Friday, or
Saturday night.

Contest Won By Bearden

The cover for the 1967 College
Night Program was designed by
Kathleen (Mrs. Bob) Bearden.
Mrs. Bearden, known to her
friends as "Kat", is a senior art
major from Montevallo. Along
with her many honors in the de-
partment and her high grade

point average, she was selected
Senior Elite in Art for Elite
Night.

Mrs. Bearden was only one of
the many entries in the program
contest. The prize for the win-
ning cover was a twenty-five dol-
lar Savings Bond. The contest
was sponsored by the S.G.A.

Rejected, and for a mean mobster! Ron Harris, the young hero of
the Golds' roaring twenties production, "Quench Finch, or Lamore
or Less", meets the cold, calculated stare of "Learned Louie", ably
portrayed by Rick Spitler, as his "doll face" Darla, Ellen Wright,
pushes him aside for fame, fortune and Hollywood.

Senate Passes Bills
For New Regulations

The S.G.A. has had a full agen-
da since the semester break. In
last week's meeting on February
9, two recommendations and a
bill were passed, while another
bill was presented at the same
time. Passed by the Senate was
a bill allowing women to visit
the lobby and porch of Napier
Hall from 8:00 a.m. till 10:00
p.m. Lack of a full-time resident
at the other men's halls re-
stricts this privilege to Napier.

The Senate passed a recom-
mendation concerning the attire
of students in the cafeteria du-
ring meals. This recommendation
sets up enforcement of the regu-
lations already in the Fledgling.
Letters of warning will be sent
upon the first two violations by
the Senate, while any further in-
fractions of the rules will be re-
ferred to the Deans. It was also
recommended that a Purple-Gold
football game be held in con-
junction with College Night.
Counting no points, this game
would be held as a test to dis-
cover if there is any interest in
the students for such an activity.

Commuter John McKinnon was
elected to fill the vacancy left
in the Senate until April.

The temporary traditions com-
mittee presented a bill asking
that a permanent traditions com-
mittee be set up in the Senate.
Also included was various regu-

lations regarding the ratting of
Freshmen in the fall. This bill
will be voted upon at the next
meeting.

The purpose of this article is
to inform the student body of
action taken in the Senate. It is
up to you to discuss with your
class senator the various bills,
so he can represent your views
in the Senate.

Notes Around Campus

While walking on the campus the other day I
happened to see a young lady trip and fall flat
on her face with a rather fitting statement as
to the situation of lights on this campus.

It seems that with all the appropriations for
new buildings, and all the turf being made rag-
ged for those air-conditioning pipes that it would
be an easy matter to install new lights so we
can see where we fall. Why wait until the ground
heals and then dig it all up again? While we
are at it, the lake renovation schedule could be
advanced so as to include this spring in the use

of it.

WRSD is bursting forth new life on cam-
pus, and after this week-end let's use all the
residual fever and spirit from College Night and
apply it to our own radio station. They are in-
terviewing campus administrators, and I under-
stand that they welcome questions and sugges-
tions of questions to be asked of these people.

Let Your Liver Quiver,
Baby!

By David Keller

My comment for the week entails a situation which we see and
hear most every day. The setting is made up of about twenty-five
students, thirteen of which use greasy kid's stuff, eleven of which
use hairspray a can a day, and myself, a devout user of "Best", the
new toothpaste that doesn't prevent cavities but tastes like messy
chocolate candy. As the students piled eagerly into their chairs it
was apparent that today was test day. The very prudish girl who
always sits by the teacher asked her bitter enemy (the girl who
often knocks her out of the number one grade in the room) the
question, "Have you studied?" The girl quickly replied, "Heavens,
no! I haven't even read the material yet." The question was re-
versed and the girst girl assured the second that she had neither
read the material nor listened in class. When the two turned around
and questioned me as to whether I had studied or not I replied,
"As a matter of fact I have." They were shocked and assured me
that I was destined to make a better grade than they. I need not
give the entire result of the test but as Gracy Goodgrade had
feared, Sally Studyface had nudged her out of the top grade made
on the test. "Let Your Liver Quiver, Baby."

Solution For
Parking Problem

Dear Editor:

Suggestion on the parking prob-
lem:

The area on top of the hill
overlooking the Gym which is ad-
jacent to the meager parking
area afforded to Tutwiler could
be utilized, with little effort from
maintenance, for the purpose of
extending the existing area to
hold about twice the number of
cars which it now can hold.

Give Vote To
18 Year Olds

Dear Editor:

A movement is underway in
Alabama to persuade the state
legislature to amend the state
constitution so as to allow 18
year olds to vote. Several stu-
dents at the University of Ala-
bama have promoted the move-
ment and are to be joined by col-
lege students all over the state.
I want to discuss the basic ar-
guments for lowering the voting
age.

First of all, the present law
which says that one cannot vote
until he is 21 years old was
adopted many years ago. At the
time it was made the law a per-
son did not need to vote before
he was 21 and probably did not
have an adequate education to
make an intelligent choice. It is
different today. Most young
people today have received
as much of an education in
eight years of schooling as was
taught in twelve years when the
law was set for voting at 21.

Secondly, the great majority of

Powell And Congress

By Bob Dinwiddie

It looks as if Con. Adam Clayton Powell will retain his seat
the House of Representatives.

The Committee investigating his affairs is almost certain
recommend that Powell be seated, but that he be strongly c
sured and stripped of seniority. The loss of seniority would be
biggest blow. Mr. Powell was first elected in 1942 and had beco
Chairman of the House Committee on Labor and Education in 1"
Dropping to number 435 in seniority would mean he would ha
no control over large sums of money and that he would have few
privileges than any other Congressman.

One charge against Mr. Powell was that he kept his estrang
wife on his payroll when she was no longer doing any work f
him either in Washington or New York. It is not uncommon for
Congressman or Senator to have a relative or relatives worki
for him. Several Congressmen have relatives employed at salari
of $20,000 a year and more. There is absolutely nothing wrong wi
hiring relatives if they are qualified. But if they are not qualifi
or if they do not perform any work, then it is up to the House
correct the situation.

Congressman Powell's crime was one of degree. He did in
defiant, flamboyant fashion what numerous other Congressmen
doubt do very quietly, ,ie., pad their payroll. Powell's controvers
nature invited investigation. In fact, it guaranteed it.

Another committee should be set up t-> investigate the pr
tice of hiring relatives. Rep. Neal Smith of Iowa says that althou
Powell is the best known, there are other relatives "who perfo
little service for the salary paid."

If Powell is punished (and he will be), and the other 47 C
gressmen who hire relatives do not have their hiring practi
checked to make sure that being a relative is not the only qua"
cation of some of their employees, there should be a great out
from the American people. If this is not done it will indicate
the Congress does not really care if its members misuse the
payer's money so long as they do it quietly.

young Alabamians have a high
school education which was not
the case 25 years ago. Thus we
may assume that the 18 year old
today has a better education than
many of the people on the pres-
ent voting lists in Alabama. Fur-
thermore, in Alabama today the
majority of 18 year olds are at-
tending some kind of institution
of higher learning.

Next, if 18 year olds in Ala-
bama show a concern for the fu-
ture of these United States and
if they take a positive step of
action to support the nation's fu-
ture and if they do it success-
fully then I say let them have a
part in our democratic govern-
ment. The young people in Ala-
bama have proven that they want
to do their part in bettering their
government. In the recent elec-
tion campaign young people 18
years old and up supported their
candidates through various politi-
cal organizations. This should
indicate that a great many young
people in Alabama are directly
involved in the political party of
their choice already.

Thirdly, the argument that I
give for lowering the voting age
is the fact that the future of de-
mocracy depends on today's
young people. Quoting Senator
Dirksen, "It is the young
people today who will wield the
new tools that command the awe-
some powers of nature. They de-

serve a voice in the future, whi
is not our alone, even more -
theirs." The youth of Ameri"
knowing that the future is thei
have seen the need for them
be prepared to take a part
our American government.

My fourth reason is one that '
have heard dozens of times
may not have thought about
iously. It has been said that
people of Alabama are just
refined and intelligent as
people of any other part of
country. If this statement is
then the young men and wor
in Alabama should be voting
cause they are as capable
those in Georgia and Kentuc
18 year olds have been voting
Georgia for 24 years and ha
repeatedly shown mature resp
sibility.

As the facts and opinions
been presented I believe
young Alabamians have shown L
concern for the welfare of the'
state and nation. With the
facts in mind I earnes
believe that 18 year olds dese
to vote. I join the movement
help them secure the ballot,
feel that you too should consi
this matter facing us and th
you will see your duty to Si
port this movement by our you
fellow Alabamians and Am

CMS.

Golds Upset Purples
For Second Win

In Last Home Game

AC Takes Belhaven 108-90

Feb. 18— The Alabama College
alcons ended their 66-67 home
iasketball schedule on a happy
ote, as they ran the Belhaven
liege Klansmen of Jackson,
ississippi, into the ground 108-
last Saturday night in Monte-
allo. The Falcons set a school
ecord for the most points scor-
in a single game with their
108 total; the previous high of
103 was scored against Livings-
ton during the 64-65 season. The
ictory was made even more re-
arding by the fact that an earl-
ir ten point loss to Belhaven
as avenged.

After taking an early lead the
alcons found themselves losing
at lead to the red hot Klans-
men, who slowly but surely built
up a nine point lead 28-19. At
that point the Falcons began cut-
:ing into that lead, until they
ied the score 28-28 with about
ive and one-half minutes left
til halftime. Here, the Falcons
r ent down once more, 34-30, with
iree minutes left until halftime.
iut the Falcons were not to be
lenied; they soon eased ahead
34 on a field goal by Bill
ountree with 2:54 left. Twelve
:onds later, Co-Captain Wayne
verett cashed in on a three
int play and the Falcons were
their way. They added two
lore points to that lead and led
9 eight, 44-38, at the half. The
alcons pulled away from Bel-
iven quickly in the opening min-
es of the second half. They
uilt up a fifteen point lead with-
three minutes; they enjoyed a
twenty point lead, 63-43, after five
minutes of play. The Falcon lead
wavered between eighteen and

twenty-five points the rest of the
way. As time wore on, it became
apparent to the fans that one-
hundred points was highly pos-
sible, and when ninety-four or
five points had been scored, it
became apparent to the players
as well. Naturally, this served to
generate excitement; therefore,
when Robert Knop made the two
free throws which put the Fal-
cons at the century mark with
a minute and thirty seconds to
go, the fans and players alike
almost went wild. The rest of the
game was icing on the cake as
the Falcons added eight more
points to set the school record.
It was a very happy occasion
for the fans and players alike,
and a fine way in which to end
the home schedule.

Marshall Killingsworth scored
twenty-four points to lead the
Falcons, followed by Henry Ezell
with twenty, Wayne Everett with
eighteen, Mark Riggins with thir-
teen, and Bill Rountree with
twelve. Lamar Lee and Mike
Felsher led the Klansmen with
thirteen points apiece, followed
by Troy Shaw with twelve and
Ralph Newell with ten.

The Gold team made it two in
a row for • their side, winning
72-71 Tuesday night in a hard
fought game. Both teams showed
fine spirit and good ball hand-
ling throughout the entire game.

The Purple team jumped to a
quick lead at the beginning mo-
ments of the game, and kept it
throughout the entire first half.
Although behind at the half, 40-
33, the Golds gained momentum
the second half. Catching the
Purple squad with ten minutes
left, they tied with the score 50-
50. From here it was nip and
tuck all the way. The lead
changed hands several times du-
ring the rest of the game. With
two minutes left and a one-point
lead the Golds froze the ball un-
til it was stolen by the Purples.
In the last seconds, Jerry Ste-
phens tied the ball game at 66-
66 with a foul shot.

The overtime was a rerun of
the game; tight and close. Leo
overcame, however, winning the
game by a one point margin. A
field goal by Ray Davis clinched
the game, 73 to 72.

High scorer in the game was
Gerald Pentecost with 24 points

On Feb. 11 and 12 a volleyball
officiating clinic was conducted
at Alabama College.

For some time there has evi-
dently been a need for an a con-
cern over the lack of rated offi-
cials in Alabama. Emphasis was
placed on this area last October
at a meeting of the College As-
sociation of Health, Physical Ed-
ucation and Recreation. From
this initial beginning— with the
assistance of the State Depart-
ment of Education and the State
Association of Health, Physical
Education and Recreation — a
committee has been formed to
study competition for girls in this
state. The demand for competi-
tion is being heard and if there
is to be an answer there must
be a structure from which to
operate. The logical basis for this
structure would be qualified and
certified officials. It was the pur-
pose of this clinic then to in-

Earlier this week the Alabama
College Falcons journeyed into
Mississippi and West Alabama,
Paying Millsaps in Jackson, Mis-
sissippi, Monday night and Liv-
ingston State at Livingston. The
[ r 'P resulted in one win and one
■oss. The Falcons won handily
Per Millsaps 87-73, but lost a
°se one 74-73 to Livingston in
'ertime.

Monday night, the Falcons built
,P a twelve point halftime lead,
?*15, and coasted to their sixth
*"> of the year. Marshall Kill-
"Jgsworth scored twenty-five
^•nts to lead the Falcons, fol-
ded by Henry Ezell with sev-
rj'een, and Bill Rountree and
™ark Riggins with thirteen each.

leading most of the second
' as well. However, the Fal-

cons were hampered by the fact
that leading scorer Henry Ezell
re-injured the ankle that has both-
ered him most of the season, in
the opening minutes of play. Ev-
en though Mike Killimet scored
twenty-three points to fill in the
gap, Ezell's loss undoubtedly hurt
the Falcons greatly. Nevertheless,
the game was tied at the end of

regulation time and went into
overtime. A.C. was outscored 8-7
in the extra period as Livingston
scored in the final seconds. In
addition to Killimet, Ralph Butler
played a fine ball game, scoring
sixteen points, and Marshall Kill-
ingsworth scored twelve to lead
the Falcons.

The two games ended the reg-
ular season for the Falcons; how-
ever, they will play in the ACC

ing to make the game better for
players and spectators. It is im-
portant to keep up-to-date with

The two boards in the state
are making an effort to rate as
many people as possible. Another
clinic was held in Montgomery
in an attempt to reach teachers
in the southern sections of the
state. The northern half of the
state was notified of this clinic.
It is hoped that through these

established in order to make it
easier for official ratings to be
kept up-to-date.

The Alabama College Board of

service available. There were 38
teachers in attendance and of
this number 13 received intra-

A follow-up meeting for this

Throw Purples
For Surprise Win

Coming from behind, the Gold
basketball team pulled ahead to
a 68-66 victory over the Purple
team Friday night in the first
of three games.

The first half belonged to the
Purples, who left the floor with
a 35-21 score going their way.
But the second half and the ball
game went to the Golds' fine
shooting. Both teams scored 14
points in foul shots, while the
Golds hit 65% from the floor, as
compared to the Purples' 50%
shooting. Catching the Purples in
the second half with less than
two minutes on the clock and a
66-66 score, the Gold squad froze
the ball. Junior Murray then
clinched the game, sinking two
foul shots in the last seconds of
the game.

Ray Davis' 20 points led the
Gold team, followed by Junior

the Purples were Don Andrews

Everyone Wins!

This year's College Night
was acknowledged by most
as the "best ever." (Now, if
you disagree or disbelieve in
College Night altogether it
would be wise for you to
quit reading this article right
now, for you'll' just disagree
and get further upset about
the whole business.) Produc-
tion-wise, both sides put all they had into two
very entertaining and well produced shows. Even
more noticeable and notable was the spirited
rapport between the sides.

Of course, one had to be chosen winner, and
of course, the one not chosen was terribly dis-
appointed but, wonder of wonders, the winners
and losers mingled almost immediately after the

announcement and congratulated and comforted
their friends. Never have the two sides worked
so closely. Never has there been such an absence
of friction. Each helped the other whenever ask-
ed (and sometimes without asking).

Now, isn't this really what College Night is
supposed to be like? This year it was not a
Purple-Gold split but a friendly game about as
enemy producing as a game of chess at the SUB.
Tomorrow the judges' comments will be revealed
in the annual critique (and there will be a mob
there this year). We hope this spirit will prevail,
that no one will feel hurt or misused and will
take every criticism with open eyes toward next
year. For, this year's College Night was great
and next year's can only be greater!

— N.E.B

The 1967 College Night Critique will be held Tuesday
at 10:00 a.m. in Reynolds,

EDITORIALS

What Is American Idealism?

Most of the ideas presented here are not
mine. They were, for the most part, picked up
out of magazine articles and group discussions.
I am only restating these views because they
are important to you. They are your problems
and should mean a great deal to you. These
problems are particular to your world and your
time and because they are, you, the educated,
must decide how they are to be resolved.

In Viet Nam today, men, the same age as your-
self, are dying for an idea. The idea is that all
men should be free. Of course, the United States
ignored this in the Slavic countries and East
Germany after World War It The United States
ignored it in Hungary in 1956. Today, we no
longer ignore it. At least, not in Viet Nam.

Beginning at the end of World War II, and to
the present, there have been trials in Germany
to convict Nazi war criminals. The only excuse
that the Germans had to fall back on was that
they were following in the service of their coun-
try. The allies, the U. S. especially, said that
this was no excuse and yet, if North Viet Nam
won this ideological dispute we are having, that
is the only excuse you could fall back on. There
is no excuse for our war.

There is also the realization that the war could
be ended any day with the use of nuclear wea-
pons. We refuse to use them. Why? If North
Viet Nam is our enemy, why not destroy them?
If they are not our enemies, why not get out?

But since this is a war of ideas, there is no
such thing as right or wrong or even an enemy,
is there? There is only your idea or mine. The
question being, is an idea worth ten thousand
men? Ask the families of those ten thousand
which they would rather have, an idea or their
sons back?

This is not a condemnation of the war in Viet
Nam. We have great television coverage on the
action. After every battle, we get immediate
on-the-spot interviews with men who tell us how

By Royce Jordan

many men the other side lost and then a voice
that says, "American casualties were light." Our
war is getting better coverage than the bowl
games on New Year's. You get an interview with
the coach before each game, you get to see the
action and then, there is the post-game inter-
view with the outstanding player. You never get
the finax score but since you are the home team,
you feel like you are always winning.

But there are things to be considered other
than the score. What about economics? If the
war is not costing too much, then you are safe
on the money problem. How much is your war
costing you? How about the leaders and educa-
tors of tomorrow? How many M.A.'s and Ph.D.'s
have been killed in your war? Is there hope of
accomplishment? The answer here is a definite
"Yes!" We can get status quo ante-bellum.

We can't possibly pull out of Viet Nam though.
We have a responsibility there because of some
treaty. Goodness! What would everybody else
say if you pulled out of Viet Nam? We can't be
like Charlie De Gaulle. He pulled out of NATO
and now everybody is talking about him. What
is he going to do?

The only answer is that we have proclaimed
ourselves "protectors of the underdog." I know
that we Americans love the underdog but to die
for him is ridiculous. You can see that for as
many years as the economy holds out, you, the
U. S., will go scurrying around the world fight-
ing scrub wars. We'll squelch a rebellion here,
stifle a squabble there. We, you and I, will be
the self-appointed grand wizards of the world.

The final upshot of the whole mess will be
that we will feed, clothe and protect the rest of
the world. The best way for Russia to beat us
at the moment is to have China invade them,
act like they are losing and let you and I pro-
tect them. The war will go on for many years,
though, so sit back and take it easy. It is going
to be a long, cold winter.

Tuesday, February 28th, students representing three Birmi
ham colleges participated in a forum on the campus of Birming
ham-Southern. This was the first event sponsored by the newly,
founded Birmingham Inter-Collegiate Association.

The Birmingham Inter-Collegiate Association (BICA) was found
ed by the SGA Presidents of Birmingham-Southern College, Sam-
ford University, and Miles College. The purpose of the group is
to increase communication and understanding among the schools,
and to meet together to discuss problems that may be common to
all. A calendar listing all the events of cultural interest at all the
schools, as well as all other cultural events in the Birmingham
area is being printed, and some campus exchanges are being con-
sidered.

The topic under discussion was "What is Academic Freedom?
And How Much is There on Our Campuses?" After the moderator
attempted to define academic freedom and the three panelists had
15 minutes each to present their views, the discussion was opened
to the 60 or 70 students and 8 or 10 professors present.

Everyone agreed, more or less, that complete academic free-
dom, or something very closely approximating it, is obtained in the
classroom, but that freedom is not so prevalent where campus pub-
lications and the right of the student to participate in off-campus
groups are concerned. Concern was also expressed that college ad-
ministrators are too corporate in their approach, i.e.. they are busi-
nessmen first, educators second. But the group was also in agree-
ment that the administrators were restricted by the necessity of
having to please those people or agencies that supply monies to
the school.

Perhaps of most concern to the panelists and the audience was
the tremendous apathy that plagues all the schools. Not even the
more energetic students are often willing to stick their necks out
when they can be sure that they will go down, or out, alone.

The forum will become a regular event with BICA. And it is
hoped that the University of Alabama at Birmingham will become
associated with it, along with Jefferson State Junior College.
Events at Alabama College are on the calendar and it would be
good if AC could become officially affiliated with the Birming-
ham Inter-Collegiate Association.

Purple Squad Makes Final Bid
Beats Golds By Seven Points

In the third and final game
Saturday afternoon, the Purple
basketball team downed the Gold
team before an enthusiastic home-
coming crowd, by a score of 75
to 68. The Purples, out to avenge
their previous defeats, managed
only in the last few seconds to
overcome a strong Gold team.
Neither team was sure of victory
from the tipoff to the final point.

The Purple squad, though off
to a slow start, managed to pull
ahead to a six point margin,
leaving at the first half with a
37-31 score.

The Golds came back like lions,
however, and closed the gap
quickly in the second half. Only
two minutes into the second half
and Junior Murray tied it up at
39 to 39. From here on out, the
second half proved even tougher
than the first, with very few
points separating the teams at
any time. The game was still tied
with only one minute left in the
game, with a 66-66 score. But
the Purple team outscored the
Golds in the last minute to take
the game away with a final score
of 75 to 68. Leading the Lucky

AC Holds Officiating Clinic
For Women's Volleyball

On March 10-11 Alabama Col-
lege will hold a Women's Volley-
ball Clinic for instructors who
have not yet received their offi-
ciating ratings. The Alabama Col-
lege Department of Health, Phys-
ical Education and Recreation is
one of the only two institutions
in the state qualified to give
these clinics and ratings. Earlier
this semester a similar clinic
"as held, also in volleyball.

There is a definite lack of
qualified instructors for all wom-
en's sports in the state and most
of those who are qualified offi-
cials come from Alabama Col-
lege.

The Alabama College Board of
Officials hopes to make these
clinics an annual and permanent
event at A.C. to raise the state
Health, Physical Education and
Recreation standards.

Purple-Gold Football?

We Want More

By Mike Malone

Although College Night 1967 is now in the
books, it Is not too early to give some thought
to next year, and improve upon some of the
shortcomings of the whole proceedings. This
editor believes in, and backs College Night
one hundred and ten per cent, because there
is more to a proper education than just what
one finds in books. However, of course, Col-
lege Night is only as good as the people will-
ing to participate and give of their time and effort. Now to the
point — if there is a way to give more people a chance to partici-
pate and give of their services, it should be done. Considering the
number of girls in the school, one can readily see why they make
up the majority of participants. What I am getting at is — the men
need more ways to participate, especially in athletics. You might
say, "We already have basketball teams." Fine — this is good! How-
ever, you must consider only five can participate on a side with
usually four substitutes — eighteen in all. This is highly insufficient.
In the Senate this month, a bill was recommended and passed al-
lowing a Purple-Gold football game to be played as a test for in-
terest. Unfortunately, this bill did not get approval by the College
Night Committee. I'm not blaming, just stating. The real blame
lies with you — 'those who wished to have this game but did not let
your senators know in time. It would have just taken a petition
from those interested, to be submitted to the Senate and College
Night officials requesting the right to have such an event. This
should have been done in December or January at the latest. Of
course, this editor is also to blame, because the incentive could
have come from this column, and action could have begun earlier.
However, we who wished to see such a game played failed to act
this year, but next year it must be different. When you figure at
least thirty boys or more who could add their services to College
Night and become involved, it would be a shame not to make the
chance available.

All right, people, now you have been told, now you have about
ten months to act! It's there if you want it.

Falcons Duck Under Troy Red Wave
In A.C.C. Tournament At Athens

The Alabama College Falcons
closed their season a little over
a week ago against the Troy
State Red Wave in the A.C.C.
Tournament at Athens. The Fal-
cons gave Troy all that they
could handle, before going down
81-77. As has been the case in
many of their games this year,
A.C. had to come from behind
to be in the ball game. Troy
State built up an eleven point
42-31 halftime lead behind the
eleven point outputs of Doug Car-
michael and Steve Holley, and
the ten point contribution of
John Enslen. Ralph Butler led
the way for the Falcons in the
first half with twelve points. How-
ever, the second half was a dif-
ferent story. Carmichael added
twelve second half points, but
Enslen and Holley were stopped

fairly well. In the meantime, Fal-

Johnston

con ace Henry Ezell found his

second half points to lead the

THE ALABAMIAN, Alabama Collegi

Thoughts Turn
To Spring

Just about this time every year,
the AC coed turns to thoughts of
Spring, and the male faction of
the college population turns to
thoughts of . . . sports, cars,
spring holidays, Florida, beauti-
ful blondes in itsy bitsy bikinis.
Poor coed! She really doesn't
have a chance.

You can't say the girls go
down in defeat without trying,
though. Hand her a tennis racket,
and just dare to put her on a
tennis court with some unsus-
pecting male. You'd never be-
lieve that a girl could have so
much trouble getting her grip,
or would require so much atten-
tion concerning her footwork.
Once the poor "unsuspecting"
male has taught her everything
that he can, a surprising thing
takes place. Now he's thinking
about Spring too.

With cars, she can't contend,
and she usually doesn't try. With
beautiful blondes she can't con-
tend either . . . but she usually
tries. You can see her on top
of the roof over Main and the
kitchen (not the best smelling
spot on campus) sweating it out
for her sun tan, the first hot
clay. Coke bottles, cards, books,
sun glasses, towels, flip-flops,
SCREEN GEMS, chewing gum,
sun tan oil. The bikini? Oh, she
has that too. Of course, she
doesn't have what the blondes
that the boys dream about have
to wrap her bikini around (but
she kids herself that a crash
starvation diet will take care of
that). All for the love of . . .
Spring!

English 102 teachers are beat-
ing poetry into the Freshman's

the Seniors, and what is it all
for? To prepare them all for a
hundred spring-times and a life-
time of the same old thing: in
the Spring a young man's fancy
turns to the out-of-doors, and if
the young girl (or the old girl)
wants any attention, she likewise
turns to the out-of-doors.

Civic Ballet Presents
Exotic Japanese Dance

Night of No Moon is a ballet
inspired by the collection of Jap-
anese poetry entitled "Kokinshu"
and prints of the master artist
Kitagawa Utamaro.

This lovely and haunting ballet
explores the ranges of loneliness
and gentle melancholy that are
part of the sunset hours of a
noble Japanese lady. Its quiet
sensuousness reveals the range
of the mature performers of the
Birmingham Ballet Company. Its
subject matter is seldom used in
ballet.

The costumes and decor are
based on the famous wood-block
prints of Utamara, who lived;
from 1753 to 1806. His splendid
portraits of the Edo courtesans
brought him fame. The enchant-
ment of these prints makes them
universally popular. The ballet is
costumed in gentle hues that con-

trast with the vivid brocade of
the central role.

The ballet uses the unusua
score of Alan Hovhaness — "Suite
for Violin, Piano, and Percus
sion," Opus 99.

The "Kokinshu" was the first
of the anthologies of Japanese
poetry compiled by Imperial or-
der. The poem which inspire
this ballet was written by Ono
no Komachi, a famous petess and
subject of the No play "Sotoba
Komachi."

Hito ni awamu— This night of
no moon.

Tsuki no naki yo wa— There
no way to meet him.

Omoiokite— I rise in longing.

Mune hashiri hi ni— My breast
pounds, a leaping flame.

Kokoro yakeori— My heart
consumed in fire.

the center of Montreal are lo-
cated:

In the Place Ville Marie (shop-
ping promenade): Tel. 861-6616.
Hours: Monday to Friday, 10
a.m. to 10 p.m.; Saturday, 9
a.m. to 6 p.m.

same as above. (Most of the
other stores of the Quebec Li-
quor Commission close earlier.)

fice in the downtown area is in
the Place Ville Marie. Payment
must be cash or by certified
check. No telephone orders. De-

on Saturday afternoons and on
days prior to public holidays.
Beer

Beer in the bottle for drinking
elsewhere is obtainable at small
grocery stores throughout the
city, as well as "pubs" and
stores run by the Quebec Liquor

Canadian wines, mostly from
the Niagara Peninsula, are ob-
tainable at the Quebec Liquor

Mexican Artist
Here Sunday
For Concert

On Sunday, March 19, the Ala-
bama College Music Department
will present a Chamber Music
Concert of a different sort. Mexi-
can guitarist Selvio Carrizosa will
play a varied and interesting pro-
gram of European, Mexican, con-
temporary and traditional music.

Selvio Carrizosa, born in Mexi-
co in 1934, initiated his studies
°f the guitar under the direction
of his father, Professor Marcelino
Carrizosa. For a time he con-
tinued a self-study of the guitar,
"e then proceeded to study un-
der the direction of such distin-
guished guitarists as Jesus Be-
n 'tez, Jesus Silva and Sila Godoy,
a |l of whom learned their tech-
niques from such famous masters
a s Segovia, Pujol and Yepes.

Aside from studying the tech-
niques of the guitar, Mr. Carrizo-
has studied the mechanics and
tne acoustics, dedicating himself
'o the actual construction of this
de licate instrument. For his con-
? rts > he actually uses one of
^ guitars that he, himself, con-
ducted.

At present, Mr. Carrizosa is a
professor of the guitar at the In-
ternational University Center of
Coyoacan.

The program will contain:

"Six Italian Pieces of the Ren-
aissance," Anonymous; "Pre-
lude," Gaspar Sanz; "Dos Pava-
nas," Luis Millan; "Prelude," J.
S. Bach; "Bourree," J. S. Bach;
"Contradanza," Fernando Ferran-
diere; "Romanza (Forbidden
Games)," Anonymous; "Dos Es-
tudios," Fernando Sor; "Min-
ueto," Fernando Sor.

Following intermission:

"Recuerdos de la Alhambra,"
Francisco Tarrega; "Capricho
Arabe," Francisco Tarrega; "Se-
villa," Isaac Albeniz; "Asturias,"
Isaac Albeniz; "Dos Preludios,"
Heitor Villa-Lobos; "Scherzino,"
Manuel M. Ponce; "Surcos,"
Juan Helguera; "Un Retrato,"
Juan Helguera; "Sarabanda,"
Francisco Poulenc.

sauces, as for instance a be-
chamel or bearnaise, is used in
creating a gourmet dish. His aud-
iences have the chance to try
the result, as well as to learn
how to make the dish.

Flori joined ARA-Slater School
and College Services, a Division
of Automatic Retailers of Ameri-
ca, Inc., in 1963. After serving as
Director for Dining Service for
the University of Puerto Rico, he
became a District Manager, su-
pervising the operation of Col-
lege and University Food Service
facilities in Puerto Rico and the
Virgin Islands. In November, 1966
he was appointed to his present
post of Executive Chef, with the
responsibility of supervising spe-
cial events design and procedures
in all of the dining service pro-
grams administered by ARA-Sla-
ter for more than 250 educational
institutions in the United States,
Puerto Rico and the Virgin Is-
lands.

While M. Flori is at Alabama
College he will present three lec-
tures.

The first will be for home eco-
nomics students at 10:00 a.m.
Wednesday in Old Main. The sec-
ond will be open to all students
at 2:00 p.m. in Old Main. On
Thursday at 2:00 p.m. M. Flori
will give a special lecture for
faculty and staff.

Since part of the demonstration
is tasting the lectures will be
small so if you would like to see
how crepes-suzettes are made and
how they taste— be there early.

Four A.C. Actors
In Summer Stock

On March 2, four speech stu-
dents from Alabama College at-
tended the Southeastern Theater
Council Conference along with
Mr. W. T. Chichester. On Satur-
day and Sunday auditions were
held by several theater groups
for casting for their summer
stock performances. Ron Harris,
Eddie Austin, Jerry Skelton and
Ed Norment attended the con-
ference and three of them audi-
tioned, all three of whom won
parts.

Jerry Skelton and Ron Harris

both have dancing roles in "Horn
in the West" in Boone, North
Carolina. Jerry and Ron are out-
standing dancers in Orchesis, and
have performed in several phases
of the College Theatre. Both have
starred in College Night produc-
tions, in Experimental Theatre
("Waiting for Godot") and many
of the major College Theatre pro-
ductions.

Ed Norment, recently seen as
Matt in "The Fantasticks", won
a singing role in "The Stephen
Foster Story" in Bardstown, Ken-
tucky. Ed is also very active in
the College Theatre, both per-
forming on stage and in techni-

cal work, especially lighting.

Another Alabama College
speech student, Jayne Mynard,
also has a summer theatre job.
Jayne, who has acted and di-
rected in the Experimental Thea-
tre, will be working at the Beach
Theatre, a dinner theatre in Or-
lando, Florida.

Purple, Gold
Critique Results

On Tuesday, March 7, Miss
Mary Frances Tipton, Chairman
of the College Night Committee,
presided over the annual College
Night critique in Reynolds Audi-
torium. The point evaluation was
released along with the general
comments given by the judges.

Over all, the judges were very
impressed by the performances.
They thought that, in both pro-
ductions, the actual performance
surpassed the scripts. The big-
gest criticism of both lay in
blocking, the Purples' was too
busy" and the Golds' had too
many straight lines. The judges
thought that the Purples had the
most creative and imaginative
production but it was not contin-
uous, the two plots did not come
together properly. The Golds had
the better over all effect, the
whole play was set at the first
scene. The Purples' music was
excellent but lacked variety. The
Golds' music was thin but well
matched to the action.

The Pre-Production Points were
given by the faculty committee.
Each side received one point in:
Finance, Book, Timing and Spirit.
In athletics the Golds received
4 and the Purples 2.

The points awarded by the
judges ran in four categories and
were as follows:

on the underclassmen. Seems like this time Ramsay wanted to march, too!

Why Be Number Two?

ini
bu

Alabama College is now
considered number two in the
state by most people. Only
one other college, and that a
private one, can beat us aca-
demically. This is something
to be proud of, but not some-
thing to sit back and gloat
over or discuss, because while
all the talking is going on
Alabama College is going down.

We know we can't contest the University and
Auburn in all phases of athletics, but we have
some darn good teams, especially now that base-
ball and tennis are in the air. It's discouraging
to the fellows who play their hearts out for us
when only a few hardy souls brave the awesome
trek out to the tennis courts for a match or dare
cross the teeming thoroughfare to the baseball
diamond. We've had champion teams in the very
near past, and we can have them this season,
too, but they need support as much as talent.

Some buildings on the Alabama College cam-
pus are nothing short of historical monuments —
Reynolds, King House, even old Main are monu-
ments to an era— but these buildings, through
carelessness, misuse and the fear of spending a
little money (you know, "A stitch in time saves
nine") have fallen into such a sad state of dis-
repair that nothing short of gutting and rebuild-
ing can really restore them to their former beauty
and usefulness.

Reynolds is an especially sore spot in the build-
ing program. Being the home of the Experimental
Theatre, the Alumni Office and the Placement
Bureau. Reynolds is constantly being visited by
outsiders. It has an illusion of beauty which is
rudely destroyed as one steps through the portals
into a faded lobby full of beautiful old pieces
but lit by four ghastly tin objects which hang

from its creaking ceiling. As one leaves the lobby
and goes upstairs by any of the four staircases,
one gets the impression that any moment the
whole staircase is going to fall in. The floors are
covered with crumbling tiles (if they're covered
at all) and sag and buckle in innumerable spots.
These details describe not only Reynolds but
many of the older buildings on campus.

In Palmer Hall stands the majestic ruin of
what was once the biggest and most beautiful
pipe organ in the southeast. The tennis courts,
once the best in this part of the state, are
cracked, buckling and unlit. The beautiful ex-
panse of water known as the college lake is
stagnating and the camp house in disrepair. The
brand new Student Union has cracks in the wall
big enough for your finger.

Alabama College is getting too big for its
britches. Outside three new buildings are going
up at a cost that runs into millions. Kids are
crammed into rooms that are too small for one,
much less three. Tree shaded quads are fast be-
coming a thing of the past. The staff must teach
more students for the same pay. No one knows
everybody any mdre. The spirit is leaving, it's
being crowded out, it's rotting from misuse, it's
gathering cobwebs in a corner.

I love Alabama College and so do most of the
students (in spite of what they say), and I hate
to see it dwindle away. "Dwindle!" you might
exclaim, "why, A.C.'s growing by leaps and
bounds." True. But the A.C. that's growing isn't
the A.C. that breathes, laughs, cheers, cries. In
just three years the change has been obvious
and regretful.

We'll keep on building, that's one of the haz-
ards of being a state school, but we can watch
our growth and make it fruitful. We can pre-
serve the "old" A.C. and give it to the "new"
and we won't be number two in the state, we'll
be Number One.

o The Editor

Concerning Mr. Bob Bailey

Dear Editor:

A few weeks ago our campus
was graciously adorned by the
presence of a Mr. Bob Bailey. I,
being the President of the Inter-
national Relations Club, the club
sponsoring his visit, was very
unaware of his brotherly love
toward our fighting men and of
his full understanding of the Com-
munists' plan or hope to engulf
the world. Though his thoughts
were well conveyed to the audi-
ence and myself before the night
was over, his statements stirred
my curiosity of his activities and

Business Club
Thanks Students

Dear Miss Boyer:

On behalf of the members of
the Men's Business Club, may I
take advantage of this means to
express my sincere appreciation
to the students and staff of Ala-
bama College in helping us to
secure copies of the 1966-67 Col-
lege Bulletin. We needed the Bul-
letin to aid us in securing a
charter from Alpha Kappa Psi,
Professional Business Fraternity.

After checking with the Office
of Public Relations, we found
that no more copies of this year's
Bulletin would be available.

However, through the kind as-
sistance of the students in New
Men's Dormitory and numerous
faculty and staff members on
the campus, we were able to ob-
tain 20 copies of the Bulletin in
perfect condition.

This is a fine example of stu-
dents, faculty, and staff working
together to attain a desired goal.
My sincere thanks.

Sincerely yours,
Thomas L. Attaway
President

Men's Business Club

I have gathered the follow-
ing information over the last few
weeks. I received some of this
information through the help of
Congressman John Buchanan and
the House Committee on Un-
American Activities, some came
through my personal observations
and interviews.

Mr. Bailey has been reported
to be the President of the Bir-
mingham vicinity chapter of the
Students For a Democratic So-
ciety. He denied this but did ad-
mit that he was an active mem-
ber. The fact is that Mr. Bailey,
along with some other students in
Birmingham organized this local
chapter of this infamous organi-
zation.

J. Edgar Hoover, head of the
F.B.I., said before a House com-
mittee last year: "One of the
most militant organizations now
engaged in activities protesting
U.S. foreign policy is a student
youth group called Students for
a Democratic Society. Commu-
nists are actively promoting and
participating in the activities, of
this organization, which is self-
described as a group of 'liberals
and radicals.'

"This organization sponsored a
march on Washington to protest
U.S. action in Vietnam which
took place on April 17, 1965. Com-
munists from throughout the Na-
tion participated in this march
and over 70 past or present Com-
munist Party members from New
York City alone, including sev-
eral national leaders, were ob-
served among the participants."

An Associated Press dispatch
of August 31, 1966, reporting on
the Students for a Democratic
Society national convention held
at Clear Lake, Iowa, in August
1966, stated in reference to Carl
Oglesby, President of SDS:
"Oglesby said Communists have
been welcomed in SDS since it
was formed in 1962."

The top Communist in the U.S.,
Gus Hall, told UPI reporter Paul
R. Jaschke: "Fronts are a thing
of the past. We don't need them.
We've got the W. E. B. DuBois
Clubs, the Student Nonviolent Co-
ordinating Committee, and Stu-
dents for a Democratic Society
going for us . . ."

Need I say more about Mr.
Bailey's little love group?

Recently Mr. Bailey was inter-
viewed on the "Dialogue" pro-
gram on WATV Radio. During his
talk he said that he wouldn't
serve his country under any cir-
cumstances whatsoever. He also
stated that he would live under
Communism before he would kill
anyone.

Last November the local SDS,
the American Civil Liberties Un-
ion, the Alabama Council on Hu-
man Relations, the Unitarian
Church and other "Pro-Ameri-
can, Patriotic?" groups under
the auspices of the American As-
sociation of University Profes-
sors supported a little gathering
at the University Extension Cen-
ter in Birmingham concerning
the "poor, mistreated" Red
China.

And most recently Mr. Bailey
has marched with the Black
hoards (sic) in Birmingham to
protest "Police Brutality", a fa-
Editorial Note:

There are a few misstatements
of fact and quotes in the above
letter that should be noted. (1)
There is no functioning chapter
of Students for a Democratic So-
ciety in Birmingham and there-
fore Mr. Bailey nor anyone else
could be its President.
(2) Declaring the SDS to be
communist because some com-
munists were observed among the
tens of thousands who marched
on Washington is as absurd as
declaring that Mr. Forsman is
a member of SDS because he

Let Your Liver Quiver,
Baby!

By David Keller

The staff and management of the Liver Quiver column wish
to announce that last week's article hit a new all time low in
popularity and readers. We do sincerely appreciate the many let-
ters from the alumni and parents desiring to find out the words
which were censored from the article. This week's topic: The Sen
ior March.

OUTSIDE: Loud screams, shouts, horns, people running up
and down the hall . . .

INSIDE: Sitting in my room trying to take in a little algebra..
OUTSIDE: "Red rover red rover send Ramsay right over . . .
INSIDE: We knew something was up.

Why of course, tonight is the senior march, a night when th
senior girls go from room to room striking terror in the hearts
others. Putting my algebra book back in the closet I grabbed the
old trumpet and went out to find two or three hundred boys yell-
ing at equally as many girls hanging out of the girls' dorms,
blew the trumpet a few times until somebody told me that he wa
going to make me eat it if I blew it again. Like parachutes out
of a plane, all kinds of things fell from the girls' windows. The
campus police were present assisted by the city police (both cars),
the Wilton police (one car), and the A.C. Militia. Soon the dean
of men drove up and before he got his car door open the place
looked like a Wednesday during spring holidays. The dorm to
dorm communication continued for several hours until the last out-
spoken retard realized nobody was listening. The next day saw
brilliant exhibition of brave humor in the relocation of the "Wei.
come to Montevallo" sign from the city limits to the top of the
Tea House roof. It was labeled "a gift from the Alabama College
Militia to Barney." All is quiet in the small friendly campus
old A.C. and spring is in the air.

Let your liver quiver, Baby.

Laughter And
The Law Of Gravity

We have become a nation of worriers. The smile has shriveled,
the laugh will run dry. Sometimes Bob Hope or Woody Allen or
Mr. Keller's articles can prime a gaffaw from us. People continue
to read TIME and the NEW YORKER "for the cartoons." Many
newspaper readers turn first to the funnies before they can mus-
ter up enough courage to face the dire facts on the front page.
Even the zane MAD can lay claim to a large following. But often
the humorous effect is forced, artificial and all ways short-lived.
Humor has become a professional specialty, limited to a few, fleet-
ing moments, while feeding on our usually frustrated desire to
escape from the worries and problems.

All of us, to some degree, suffer from a personality split be
tween alliance to the serious and the funny side of life. Every day
we are confronted with such problems as Viet Nam, domestic gov-
ernmental problems, poverty, the reasons for increasing crimes and
delinquency, and yet a decrease in concern, not to mention tests
and soon finals. But these are only segments of life. While we
are here at A.C. we should examine all aspects of life, good and
bad. We should also learn how to smile again, and how to have
clean innocent fun, it seems that somewhere along the line we
forgot. In our complex world everything i excitement that is> is
done in search of "thrills," or just for "kicks."

In unconscious obedience to the law of gravity our laughter
runs shallow, our concern much deeper. Seriousness refuses to
co-exist with a merry spirit. Worries have a built-in ambition to
be all or nothing. Repulsed by such a constant diet of concern,
we hunt for distractions, entertainment, escape. But the kind of
entertainment we "need" is hard to find. We have lost the spon-
taniety of the laughing child. We have become too self-conscious
methodical and calculating — too serious.

Stop looking at the dark side. It's too late to worry about yes-
terday, and we can not predict what will happen tomorrow— so
try living today. Smile a little, and who knows, maybe life isn't
so bad after all. -Sandra Greathouse

vorite Communist allegation.

I think that this information is
sufficient for most of you to draw
your own conclusions about Mr.
Bailey and his organization. And
may I further state that any point
of view expressed by any guest
speaker of the International Re-
lations Club is not necessarily
that of the Club.

Sincerely,
Rick Forsman

listened (?) to a speaker who is
a member. (3) During his radio
interview Mr. Bailey stated that
he would not serve his country
in a military capacity but would
gladly serve in any number of
other ways, i.e., hospital work,
teaching, etc. American draft
laws make legal provisions for
authentic conscientious objectors
to do other services not con-
trary to their beliefs. Further-
more, Mr. Bailey is a teacher,
and very few teachers are drafted
regardless of their political views
or their stand on war. Mr. Bai-

ley also pointed out that if the
performance of military service
is the only way a person can
serve his country, it seems safe
to classify that country as a po-
lice state. (4) The China Confer-
ence held at the University of
Alabama in Birmingham was un-
der the sole auspices of the lo-
cal chapter of the American As-
sociation of University Professors
and was a rather staid, dignified
affair attended by several hun-
dred of the more interested citi-
zens of the city, a great part of
whom were connected with the
academic community. Red China
was dealt with objectively and
harshly. Trying to get a perspec-
tive of another nation's point-of-
view does not naturally bring
sympathy in its wake. In this
case it certainly did not.

I attended the conference. The
author of the above letter was
not among those interested per-
sons in attendance. (It leads one

Pr. Connell Publishes
Geological Works

Dr. James F. L. Connell, Pro-
fessor of Geology at Alabama
College, has . ~"ived copies of
seven papers he submitted to
the Gulf Coast Section, Society
of Economic Paleontologists and
Mineralogists for publication. The
articles were published in the
Transactions of the Gulf Coast
Association of Geological Socie-
ties, Volume XVI, Fall, 1966.
Xhey are the result of a continu-
ing research program carried on
by the S. E. P. M. entitled "Type
Localities Project, Unit IV." Four
additional articles submitted will
appear in a future unit of the
project.

The program involves a de-
tailed geological study of each
geographic locality (a type lo-
cality) where Gulf Coastal Plain

formations of Upper Cretaceous
through Pleistocene age were
named. Any exposure where a
particular formation or lesser
rock unit crops out is correlated
with the more complete section
at the type locality. Detailed
work at each type locality in-
cludes careful measuring of the
exposed stratigraphic unit in
question, a description of its lith-
ology including facies changes,
description of preserved fauna,
the position of unconformities, re-
lationship with underlying and
overlying rock units, and the
making of a detailed accessibility
map, in order that future work-
ers may find each locality. All
of the formations and lesser units
described in these papers crop

while his interest in personali-

(5) Some southern police forces,
and some individual policemen,
have tendencies to deal with Ne-
groes in a manner they would
never use with whites. But even
with this happening throughout
the South the Negroes in Bir-
mingham were not protesting
"police brutality." Their marches
were memorial marches for the
9 Negroes who have been killed
by the Birmingham police in the
past six months. The protests
came in a form of a statement
handed to the Mayor of Birming-
ham.

Further. Mr. Forsman, not al-
together surprisingly, failed to
disassociate the International Re-
lations Club from the views of
another guest speaker, Dr. El-
Sareen, formerly of Egypt, by
name. Dr. El-Sareen expressed
admiration, respect, and agree-
ment with President Nasser of
Egypt. Such an eminent Ameri-
can patriot as Robert Welch, in
a recent talk in Birmingham, in-
cluded President Nasser in the
international communist conspir-
acy. It is very debatable wheth-
er Nasser is or is not a com-
munist, pro-communist, or even
sympathetic to certain commu-
nist proclaimed goals. It is ab-
solutely absurd to think Dr. El-
Sareen is a communist. Indeed,
his program was billed as "anti-
communist." But a great maiy

h ' year. Sec. of Defense Rob-
r McNamara spoke at Millsaps

in February. The Mississippi
State University YMCA has in-
vited such a diverse list of
speakers as Mississippi Negro
leader Aaron Henry, former Gov-
ernor George Wallace, Senator
Edward Kennedy, and the rene-
gade Episcopalian, Bishop Pike.
Last year Tuskegee Institute stu-
dents invited the Consul General
to the United States from South
Africa to their campus. The Mis-
sissippi State list demonstrates
the concern of the students to
hear a variety of views. It is
nothing but healthy.

The University of Southern
Mississippi, however, has had a
different experience. On that cam-
pus vehemently conservative
speakers sponsored by the John
Birch Society have been allowed
to address student audiences.
Other Mississippians, such as
Hodding Carter, the Pulitzer
Prize-winning newspaper editor
from Greenville who attacked the
extreme racism attitude prevail-
ing in his home state, and Frank
Smith, former Congressman from
Mississippi and now director of
the Tennessee Valley Authority,
have not been allowed to speak
on campus. Such a situation
shows the unwillingness of the
administration to allow students
to hear views differing from the
accepted and safe view. It is
nothing but unhealthy. It tempts
one to use the time-honored dic-
tum: "the truth hurts."

Learning is acquired, among
other ways, through exposure to
diverse thoughts and views. The
job of students is to learn; so
diversity is in order. Regardless
of the speaker or his views one
should listen critically, sifting
with logic and reason to discard
opinionated statements and blind
emotionalism. The purpose of our
club (the International Relations
Club) is to promote learning ii
general and learning of foreign
countries and our relations with
them in particular. For that
simple reason diverse views have
been expressed and will continue
to be expressed under our aus-
pices. It is unnecessary to say
that the views expressed by our
speakers are not those of the
club members. More often tha i
not the opposite will be the truth.
But so long as there are people,
the author of the above letter for
instance, who will make such fal-
lacious associations, and as long
as there are people who apply
the "guilt by association" rule
to others and so are worried
about it being applied to them-
selves, it will remain a regretable
necessity to go through the juve-
nile routine of disassociation.

This note has been written in
my capacity as an editorialist
and as Vice-President in charge
of programs of the International
Relations Club. If at times it is
hard to tell what capacity is
speaking, let me assure you that
I share your problem. I can also
assure you that I consulted no
congressmen and that the House
Committee on Un-American Ac-
tivities provided no information.
For that I am grateful.

A.C. Netters Beat Marion
For 24th Consecutive Win

Monday the Alabama College
tennis team opened up their 1967
season with a determined victory
over Marion Institute at Marion.
The netters overcame a strong
wind, hot sun, home-court ad-
vantage, and particularly a strong
opponent to win 6-3. Donnie An-
drews made short work of ex-
Birmingham star Murry Tyson
6-4, 6-1; Ronnie Lewis found
himself unable to overcome net
trouble and was beaten 6-2, 6-2;

Bill Toms outdistanced his man
9-11, 7-5, 6-3 in a two-hour mara-
thon. Having early problems,
Toms recovered late to win the
war of nerves. Mike Lewonski,
hitting superb ground strokes, de-
cisioned Jim Sharp in a "clutch
match." Jim Hix, a newcomer,
along with Lewonski, came
through with a commanding vic-
tory over Chuck Smith 6-4, 7-5;
Mike Malone was overpowered by
ex-Ramsay star Eddie Hopton-

Jones 6-1, 6-3. Rounding out the
match Andrews-Toms and Hix-
Lewonski won in doubles while
Lewis and Malone met defeat.

This victory made the Falcon
record 24-0 over a two and a half
span. Today the netters face
Marion again in which will be a
fine match as before. The match
is here and starts at 2:00. The
Falcons are looking for number
25, so be there and support your
A.C.C. champions.

Social Security is the program
of social insurance through which
more than 90 per cent of work-
ing Americans are building pro-
tection for themselves and their
families against the reduction of
income that comes with retire-
ment,, disability, or death and are
contributing toward the hospital
insurance protection they will
have at 65.

The Atlanta Social Security Ad-
ministration Region, through its
Bureau of Federal Credit Unions,
also gives direction and guidance
to more than 1200 Federal credit
unions in these states which have
about one million members with
savings of nearly one-half billion.

Over 120 social security district
offices and a payment center are
located in the Atlanta Region to

provide service to the huge num-„
ber of people affected by the
social security program in this
area. A number of college grad-
uates are hired each year to
strengthen the increasing work

won 9-7. James Carter was by
far the outstanding player of the
game. Batting 2 hits for 4 at
the plate, Carter hit one home
run, scored 3 runs and 3 RBI's.
The rest of the squad played
well but not spectacularly. For
Marion, Perkins was top man,
batting 2 for 3 and scoring twice.
Wall again showed his mettle in
center field and batting 2 for 5.
Pitching for A.C. were Bob Mc-
Gurk, Johnny Shivers, Virgil
Cobb and Mike Hays. Hays was
the winning pitcher.

Turning the tide for the Fal-
sons on March 16, Huntingdon
came up to defeat them 15-2. The
Falcons just did not seem to
click. Mike Hays, the losing
pitcher, was the only outstand-
ing player for A.C, putting on
a beautiful show on the mound
until he had to be pulled.

The fourth game of the season
was by far the closest. Playing
Jacksonville State on March 20,

we gave the game away 2-1. Bob
McGurk did an outstanding job
as pitcher, pitching for seven
innings and giving up only 1
run. Mike Hays pitched for one
and a third innings and was the
losing pitcher. Jacksonville made
their winning run, unearned, on
two errors. Although they played
well, the Falcons were a bit too
careless and let six errors by
which lost the game. Jackson-
ville had no errors.

The Falcon baseball squad for
1967 includes: Bubba McGuire,
Sam Heidi, Larry Patterson, Ron
Brunner, Buddy Eslava, Ed
Briggs, Mike Young, James Car-
ter, John Grimes, Doug McCay,
Ken Karr, Blaz Ruzic, Mike
Hays, John Shivers, John Ed Li-
nam, Don Stone, Bob McGurk,
Virgil Cobb, Frank Bruce, Tom-
my Dungy, Junior Murray, and
Mike Killimet. Managers for the
team are Ed Greer and Steve
Bruner. They are coached by
Coach Frank Lightfoot.

ON THE GREEN— Will he make his putt? Probably, because A.C.'s
player, Frank Taranto, number five man, knows what he is doing.

Happy Holidays-

Anyway'

By Carol Weir

The time has come. Students
all over the country are racing
to the coast in scanty Easter
finery for the competition — that
of exposing as much surface area
as is indecently possible to the
sun and thousands of other
youths. And as the screaming
hordes descend upon Ft. Lauder-
dale, Daytona Beach, or Panama
City, the local shopkeepers lis-
ten with satisfaction to the jing-
ling of the till and hope that the
local constabulary has mustered
enough reinforcements for the
onslaught.

Exhausted by covert (and not
so covert) husband-hunting and
by making those grades to dis-
courage hungry Selective Service
boards, the youngsters unwind on
the beach. All that nervous ten-
sion stored up over the harrow-
ing school year evaporates as
tomorrow's leaders mill about in
the requisite filthy sneakers and
levis looking suspiciously like
the remains of a moth feast. In
good fun the youths protest the
frustrations of college life by
overturning automobiles, acts of
really petty larceny, or a good
riot, just to remind the citizenry
who exactly is the victim of
modern living's tensions.

Those on campuses, however,
who are more serious-minded

need not despair. For there is a
way to flaunt law and order —
and to clothe it in respectability.
Why not a demonstration against
self-restraint of all such serious
minded youth; a cross-country
march? Of course, the unkempt
look — sneakers and cut-offs —
could be preserved (what better
way to get a sun tan) and aug-
mented by sleeping in ditches or
citizens' yards. Any attempts,
moreover, by law enforcement
agencies to end the good fun of
disturbing the peace could be ef-
fectively dealt with by raising
the cry of police brutality. Thus
could college students receive
sympathy, not to mention nation-
al press coverage, for their piti-
able existence. Everyone could
return to campus after the holi-
days refreshed by a rousing good
time.

It is truly deplorable that so
few students on the A.C. cam-
pus could be interested enough
in the "issue" to undertake such
a march. But to those who will
spend their vacations in such sub-
versive pursuits as traveling,
sleeping, collecting zoo specimens,
making camping trips, studying
(heaven forbid), or just goofing
off — HAPPY HOLIDAYS ANY-
WAY.

Hey! What's wrong with us?
Surely there is a bunch of
conscientious students here
who are proud of Alabama
College and love to see her
name wreathed with laurels
every chance there is. Aren't
they in the majority? Ap-
parently not.
This week one of the
school's fine service clubs, sparked by the actions
of fellow students in sister schools, approached
the student body with a simple and symbolic
plan to raise funds for a very worthy cause.
Immediately those who objected to that little
sacrifice began to rant and rave against the club,
the organization the funds were to go to, the
processes of democracy. They declined because
they didn't "know that the starving kids would
see any of the money, that it wouldn't all go to
build a multi-million dollar complex somewhere."
Well, heck, you don't know that the money you

put in the collection plate on Sunday is goin t *
where the preacher says it is, but that doesatl
stop you from contributing.

This kind of attitude has prevailed all y e(r |
People don't want to support anything; theyr,
afraid that they'll lose so they don't even
Why, they won't even support steady winn»
It's way past time for a change; but not
late to do something.

There is a lot of activities yet to come: a Cai
nival Saturday for the Speech and Hearing
(nothing shady about that!), the opera, concern
athletic events, a car wash . . . something hap,
pens about every day. So why not participate
It'll do you good— you'll see!

Incidentally, we're delighted to notice
Reynolds is getting a new coat of paint on
outside. We hope that it won't stop there and |
that Reynolds will get its much needed n,
storation in the very near future.

EDITORIALS

To The Editor

Letters From A.Cs Servicemen

Dear Editor:

Thanks to the thoughtfulness of
one of my former fellow students
at AC, I received about 10 issues
of The Alabamian. As a for-
mer student at AC I am still very
interested in the school and all
of its activities. Now no longer
a student but instead a Marine
fighting for a number of obscure
reasons, the most clear of which
is his life, it may be that I have
matured somewhat. If I have
not The Alabamian has become
very petty in its articles and pret-
ty loose in the libel it allows to
be printed on its pages.

I refer to some of the editorials
about the "horrible" dogslaughter
on campus. The article did not
concern itself with whether the
dog should have died so much as
the "method" of the dog's death.
I don't want to appear callous to
the students' mental processes
that are filled with such "earth-
shattering" events. Not just one
article of this nature was printed
either.

As for the libel printed I refer
to the article "What Have Ameri-
cans Done," by Mr. Mark Ford
(Feb. 16, 1967). The two per cent
population has always controlled
40 per cent of the land. But per-
haps Mr. Ford forgot to study
that part of his notes or whatever
references. As for the statement
Americans are "killing 2 civilians
for every Viet Cong fighting the
puppet Saigon government." May
I ask where the illustrious Mr.
Ford got his information. Was it
from such informational resources
as a "PaJyby interview" or some
Communist journal. I can't hon-
estly believe that The Alabamian
allowed this to be printed" and fur-
thermore that no one questioned
his opinion, much less his
"facts."

Either the students "don't
care" enough to find out the
truth and allow some fanciful lie,
yes lie, to fester their minds, or
they dream up some line to put
down. As a veteran fighting Ma-
rine, I personally challenge Mr.
Ford and any of his followers
to prove his "facts" if he can.
And if this letter is printed and
anyone would like to reply to this
letter I welcome any leters, pro
and con. If this letter offends
someone then I have accomplish-
ed by purpose, for if the student
gets mad enough, perhaps he will

try to find out the truth concern-
ing this country and the position
of the U. S.

I guess I've made a fool of
myself enough for one letter so
once again I become he shy,
gentle Marine who wouldn't hurt

Why Go To Viet Nam?

Dear Editor:

This evening I received my first
copy of "The Alabamian' since
leaving school. I would appreci-
ate it very much if you would
print the following letter and send
me a copy of the "Alabamian"
it appears in.

Recently I read in your news-
paper an editorial entitled "What
is American Idealism?" The stu-
dents of Alabama College were

Let Your

thusly introduced to ideas and
statements of the average civilian
concerning our present involve-
ment in Viet Nam. Many ques-
tions were put to you in this edi-
torial. I would like to try to an-
swer some of these questions for
you from the viewpoint of thou-
sands of courageous American
lighting men.

Yes, the war could be ended
in one day with nuclear weapons.
But only by annihilating better
than half the civilian population
in addition to the enemy. What
good does freedom do a dead
man?

This is a war of ideas. Can any
of you think of a better idea than
freedom to choose to lead your
life as you so desire

The author of that editorial pro-
claimed Americans as lovers of
the underdog. We love them be-
cause their cause is our cause.
We must free them and help
them rid themselves of ignorance,
poverty and disease. The only al-
ternative is to ignore the people
in "scrub wars" and eventually
be engulfed in a Communist
world take-over which would be
inevitable. Certainly many good,
young lives are lost in our ef-
fort to assist. But you must un-
derstand that these are the trage-
dies of war. Have you ever seen
a "rosy" picture of war painted
by anyone?

It is hard to explain in words
why a man or woman wants to
risk their life to help a cause
such as I have spoken of. But
just to talk with someone who
has returned from or is going
to Viet Nam will give insight as
to why we are there and must
stay there. A man may curse
each day about being there, but
when he sees his best friend fall
into a pit and half a dozen pungi
sticks come through his body
cleanly, you couldn't drag him
away.

I am going to Viet Nam in
July of this year, and, like all

Another Stand-In?

By Bob Dinwiddie

When the Alabama Legislature passed an act late in 1966
daring the new school desegregation guidelines "null and void
they not only dug up a dead horse, but they refused to listen
those legislators who voiced the prophetic opinion that the
act would only lead to a blanket desegregation ruling for the
tire state. Less than a week following passage of the act, thi
NAACP asked the federal courts to take under advisement a
calling for complete desegregation of all Alabama schools. Th(
answer, and the fulfillment of the prophecy, came on March
1967.

Now the consequences of the politics of resistance for its
sake have come home to roost on the Capitol door. Since 1954
elected officials of this state have made use of every conceivab'
pseudo-legal and extra-legal means to side-step the law of the la
The same officials who condemn Negro leaders for advocating
disobedience of laws they were not a part of making are quick |
preach disobedience of laws that Alabamians were a part of
ing. The same officials who decry increased centralized control
quick to centralize governmental affairs as far as their power
permit.

The ruling declared that school desegregation was to be
vanced "with all deliberate speed." It can hardly be maintains
that the Court meant for Alabama to have less than 2 per cent
its Negro children in integrated situations 13 long years later. This
extreme slowness can only be explained by state resistance
every turn, often by tortuous interpretations of court rulings that
almost defy the imagination. The famous "stand-in" by Gov. Wal
lace in 1963 was only the most spectacular of these obstruction
Legal haggling over technicalities, obfuscation of essential issue
and brash defiance from highly placed officials have not only serv
directly to circumvent the law, but also have encouraged Ala-
bamians of great courage and valor, and possessing the America'
spirit of fair play, to use anonymous harassment, economic repris
als, physical intimidation, and outright violence against those
trepid Negroes dariing to take advantage of the law of the Ian
For the most part, the acts of violence have come against Negro
dedicated to non-violence as a tactic as well as a philosophy. I fr
flammatory statements coming out of Montgomery help to creal
the very conditions of violence they purport to detest. (Some
cent statements by Lt Gov. Albert Brewer illustrate this poirt
excellently.)

Justice may be postponed, but it cannot be denied. The lou
justice is postponed, the greater the penalty and the more pal)
the inevitable confrontation. Nations often seek security and pea
but sometimes a nation must go to war to gain or preserve
curity. It is looked upon as natural for a country to fight for
curity. The United States, among others, is doing it this very
ute. And now the odd part. Recently Stokely Carmichael
"There will be no peace as long as there is no justice." In otl
words, peace is a worthy goal, but not so worthy that one shotl
give up justice for it. Peace without justice was obtained in
lers Third Reich and in some present-day Communist countriel
Alabama's officials are trying to emulate them— that is, they
Negroes to remain peaceful yet they systematically deprive th«
of equal justice, which is no justice. Sins are cumulative;
though fun to commit, the consequences are often very distaste*
Alabama, and the South, is now on the verge of having to pay &
sins accumulated since the day the first slave set foot here,
that day the end result was inevitable.

The elected officials of this state are in a position to help gutf
the state down the path of reason— and yes, acceptance. So
they have not. It seems they are intent on forcing someone else
enforce the law we should enforce for ourselves. What a pity!

the men I am associated with,
I can hardly wait to do my part.
This is easy to say, but one day
you realize that you really mean
it and you thank God for the
courage of the men who have
gone beforee you. May America

always be characterized by
courage.

Netters Fall To Troy

Team Still Has Individual Champs

The AC Tennis Team returned tto school last month with quite
a challenge. They were to take on the tennis team from Calvin Col-
lege of Grand Rapids, Michigan. The extended break of the holi-
days did not seem to bother Jim Hix, Mike Lewanski, Mike Ma-
lone, or Donnie Andrews (who was, incidentally, playing with an
injured knee). The netters, after capturing four singles wins, could
not muster a single win in the doubles and subsequently lost the
match, 5-4. This is most unusual for two reasons; one being that
usually when a team wins four singles, they can gain at least one
point in the doubles for the match; and, secondly, this was the
first loss for the team in twenty-seven consecutive matches cover-
ing a two and a half years span!

Wednesday Birmingham-Southern avenged their 54 humiliation
here earlier by defeating AC, 7-2. The only wins came from the
steady number five man, Jim Hix, and from the firsts doubles
combo of Donnie Andrews and Bill Toms. However, from here on
it is all-conference play. Donnie Andrews is undefeated in confer-
ence play.

The Falcons have an added incentive this year to win the
conference. The individual conference winners will represent their
respective schools and the A.C.C. Conference at the NA.LA. South-
ern Regional Tournament in June. The Falcons have many possible
entries in: Donnie Andrews, Mike Lewanski, Jim Hix and Mike
Malone in the singles; Andrews-Toms, Hix-Lewanski and Lewis-
Malone in doubles.

Wednesday the Falcons bowed to Troy State for the second
time, 5-1 A.O.'s netters took two singles matches, Donnie Andrews
and Mike Lewanski; and two doubles, Lewanski-Hix and Malone-
Lewis. This puts the tennis team behind Troy in conference play.
Jim Hix gave up his first match of the season in this match.

The Conference tournament will convene May 9-11 at St. Ber-
nard, Cullman.

Support your team. "It's free!"

Summer Jobs
Now Available

Partial and full scholarships
are available for public affairs-
minded students interested in at-
tending six-week Encampment for
Citizenship this summer, in New
York City or on a mountainside
in Puerto Rico.

Problems of poverty, civil
rights and developing nations are
examined and discussed, in the
New York and Puerto Rico En-
campments, by young men and
women of all racial, religious,
ethnic and economic backgrounds,
many nationalities, and varied po-
litical views. A staff of a dozen
teachers ana social scientists at
each site includes returned
Peace Corps Volunteers.

The Encampment for Citizen-
ship, founded in 1946, is non-
partisan, none-sectarian and non-
profit; it is sponsored by the
American Ethical Union. Mrs.
Eleanor Roosevelt was for 17
years chairman of the Encamp-
ment Sponsors Committee, a post
now held by New York's Repub-
lican-Liberal Mayor John V. Lind-
say.

Encampment activities include
workshops on volunteer tutoring,
community development, housing
and school integration, world af-
fairs and other subjects, as well
as lectures, films, discussion
groups and fieldtrips. Two days
a week will be devoted to com-
munity service work in low-in-
come areas.

The New York Encampment, to
be held July 2-August 12 on the
15-acre campus of the Fieldston
School, 45 minutes from midtown
Manhattan, will focus on urban
area problems and on world af-
fairs. The Inter-American En-
campment, drawing participants
from through thee Americas, will
be held on June 25-August 5, on
the mountain El Yunque, in Lu-
guillo National Forest, Puerto
Rico. Its program emphasis will
be on community development
and human rights in the Ameri-
cas.

The age range for both En-
campments is 17 through 21. Cost
of board, room and tuition for
the sue weeks, in either location,
is $500; full and partial scholar-
ships are available on the basis
of need. (Round trip air coach,
New York-Puerto Rico, is
$121.50.) Applications are avail-
able from the Encampment for

Risque Opera

New Administration

Your Senate In Action

By Randy McDonald

First, I would like to extend a
"thank you" to all who support-
ed me as a Junior Class Sena-
tor. This column will be, I hope,
an informative, concise, unbiased
account of our Senate meetings
for 1967-68 and a regular feature
in The Alabamian because both
the editor and I have decided
that this article, in its pure form,
can be beneficial, both to the
campus and newspaper.

The first meeting of the 1967-
68 Senate was called to order
Thursday, April 18, at 6:00. Mack
Rudd was the presiding officer
and called the roll. There were
no absentees and the senate
moved on to its first business.
The new senators were oriented
and given a folder with the pro-
cedures for bill introduction and
passage. They were also given a
copy of the S.G.A. Constitution
for Alabama College. The vice
president then made his commit-
tee appointments.

The senate then elected officers.
Janice Ware was elected Presi-
dent Pro Tempore and James
Wade, Parliamentarian. Secretary
and Assistant Secretary are
Gladys Frost and Donna Merrill,
respectively.

The senate approved the Presi-
dent's appointments. Approved for
the Honor Court were Rick Mar-
shall, Sandy Staggs, Bill Bouler,
Peggy Mayer, Mike Malone and
Jane Allen. Other senate approv-
als were Laurel Bethea, secre-
tary; Wayne Burdette, treasurer;
Peggy Gaskin, special affairs;
Andy Megginness, director of
communications; Bill Cobb and
Bob Sternenburg, court solicitors.

The senate then approved the
motion to include Peggy Gaskin
and Wayne Burdette as represen-
tatives of the Alabama College
S.G.A. at the SUSGA convention.
The senate then approved a mo-
tion to grant The Alabamian $275
for two more issues before the
end of May. The money will be
taken from the $1600 social fund.

Dormitory government was then
discussed and it was noted that
a dormitory must submit a con-
stitution that is approved by the
senate before it can operate. The
only dormitories on campus that
have submitted constitutions are
Napier and East Main.

Reprimand letters are being
printed and will be given to per-
sons reported for smoking, line
breaking, and improper dress.
Smoking is against fire regula-
tions and annoying to people who
are eating. Line breaking is
against S.G.A. food service rules.
Gym attire, sport or leisure
shorts are prohibited by S.G.A.
rules except on Saturdays.

A call meeting was set for
April 20th and the meeting was
adjourned.

There was a call meeting of
the S.G.A. Senate on April 20 at
6:00 p.m. The meeting was call-

ed to order and the roll was tak-
en. Absent from the meeting were
senators Jim Cole, Gladys Frost,
Mack Lyle, John Shivers, Babs
Smith and James Waid.

The senate discussed several
bills that have been presented.
We first discussed the bill on
campaigning which recommended!
no lobbying at the polls, no mass
campaigning posters on trees,
posters must be secured with
masking tape, posters must be
removed by 10 p.m. the night
before elections and that it would
be the responsibility of the elec-
tion committee to enforce these
rules for campaigning.

The senate then discussed
cheerleader elections. A bill was
presented that recommended a
fall election for cheerleaders, spe-
cial cheering classes for candi-
dates, and a faculty advisory
committee. It also recommended
that there be a special convoca-
tion where the students choose
five cheerleaders and three al-
ternates. Qualifications were rec-
ommended to be a 1.00 point ac-
cumulative average.

A bill was introduced that rec-
ommended that Freshman tradi-
tions be shortened to two weeks
from the day upperclassmen ar-
rive on campus. It was also rec-
ommended that dates should be
set up for Freshman participa-
tion in sports, dances and rat
court.

Next was discussed a bill pre-
sented on future election proce-
dures. It was recommended that
the elections, if scheduled for a
holiday, be held the following
day. Also that a general notice
of elections should be given at
least three weeks in advance with
a specific date for qualification
and election at least two weeks
in advance. It was recommended
that a -convocation date be set
and candidates checked for eligi-
bility for their prospective offices.
Also, that only the election com-
mittee be allowed to enter and
help with the tallying of the
votes.

The senate then adjourned with
a meeting scheduled for Thurs-
day, May 4, at 6:00 p.m.

May I add that these bills dis-
cussed were not passed and are
tabled for later discussion. Let
me encourage you to speak to
your senator and tell him how
you feel on these bills. It is not
the duty for any senator to vote,
solely, on the way be feels. A
senator is a representative voice
of the people who elected him
and he should exercise judgment
and decisions that are in the best
interest of the students and paral-
lel to their general concensus.
May I, as a senator, always be
found doing my best to inform
you of senate activities and act-
ing on your behalf. And may you
as a student, be ever alert to
the actions of the senate and
support your S.G.A. with your
interest and actions.

Dr. Culp
Speaks

At Troy

Dr. D. P. Culp, president of
Alabama College in Montevallo,
was the guest speaker at the
Senior Tea given by the Troy
Branch of the American Associa-
tion of University Women on
April 6. The meeting was held in
the new dining hall located at
the rear of Alumni Hall on the
Troy State College campus.

Mack The Knife Visits A. C. Tonight

'Threepenny Opera" Opens
: or Two Night Run

Raffish Mack the Knife, J. J.
Peachum, drunken, bawdy Mrs.
| Peachum, Jenny Diver, Lucy
Brown and all the other infamous
characters of "The Threepenny
Opera" will step before the foot-
lights of Palmer Auditorium to-
night and tomorrow.
Marc Blitzstein, who translated
the original , production into Eng-
and adapted it for Ameri-
can audiences, called the musi-
cal satire on opera "a miracle,
It phenomenon, a shining land-
mark in the history of the in-
ternational theatre."

"The Threepenny Opera" play-
ed in a record breaking six-year
ran off Broadway from 1955-61,
having set earlier records in Eu-
ropean theatres. One of the pro-
duction songs, "Mack the Knife,"
became an all-time hit tune and
vaulted singer Bobby Darin to a
lop position among pop record-
ing artists.

The story is set in the Soho
Section of London before and du-
lg Queen Victoria's coronation
id, in a raucous and amusing
lanner, tells of a "sad and vi-
llous society whose members
■Prey upon one another and on

Young Republicans Meet
At Mobile Convention

Six Students Awarded
A.C. Music Scholarships

The Department of Music of
Alabama College recently an-
nounced the awarding of music
scholarships to five high school
seniors with outstanding musical
credentials.

In order to qualify for these
scholarships the tudents had to
have high grade averages, high
ACT scores, and outstanding skill
in voice or an instrument. In ad-
dition, the music department ad-
ministered a thorough round of
auditions, interviews, and writ-
ten and ora! testts of the stu-
dents' musical knowledge.

Three of the five winners are
from Birmingham: Susan Hole-
man, French Horn; Carol Ann
Williams, Voice; and Harry Mc-
Afee, Trumpet. The other schol-
arship winners are Guy Downey
(Theodore), Voice; and Tim An-
derson (Hueytown), Trumpet.

A sixth winner will be an-
nounced at a later date.

It has been announced, also,
that Ron Rooks, a music major
from Birmingham, has won his
second consecutive Birmingham
Music Club Scholarship.

Ten Alabama College students,
Danny Cooper, Mark Ford, Al
Hill, Elise Hope, Apple Krida-
korn, Gary Mitchell, Mac Pitts,
Richard Weinberger, Steve Wil-
liams and Marsha Wright, at-
tended the Young Republican
Federation of Alabama State
Convention on May 5 and 6 in
Mobile.

At the convention, the A.C. stu-
dents saw the conservative and
moderate Young Republican forc-
es fighting for the State Young
Republican offices, in a typical
political atmosphere. The elec-
tions for these offices saw the
moderate forces organized under
the Greater Birmingham Y. R.'s

and the Mobile County Y. R.'s,
and the conservative forces or-
ganized under the Jefferson Coun-
ty Y. R.'s and the Madison Coun-
ty Y. R.'s— with the moderate
forces winning.

The A.C. students heard speech-
es from Congressman Jack Ed-
wards, Congressman Bill Dicken-
son and Congressman D. E.
(Buz) Lukens of Ohio, who de-
livered the keynote address at
the convention. These speeches,
along with the addresses deliver-
ed by Young Republicans from
all sections of the state, organiz-
ed the Alabama Federation into
a unified body, working for a
progressive two party system in
the state.

exposures to study the various
rock sections traversed, and to
collect rock samples and fossils.
During their stay in this area,
Dr. Connell led the party to out-
crops of the Athens shale east
of Montevallo, where they col-
lected graptolites, and to Pea
Ridge, where sizeable collections
of Pennsylvanian swamp flora
were made from the Pottsville
sequence.

On leaving Montevallo, the
group headed for Bessemer,
where they were to study and col-
lect from the Red Mountain for-
mation. They were later inter-
cepted and led on a tour of the
geology of the Birmingham Val-
ley by a geologist from Birming-
ham-Southern.

A. C. Faculty, Students
Visit Famed Oak Ridge

Members of the Alabama Col-
lege chemistry department last
week made a trip to the famed
Oak Ridge National Laboratory
at Oak Ridge, Tennessee.

Among the impressive facets of
government experimentation
there, students and faculty saw
the nuclear reactor, now inop-
erable, which unleashed the pow-
er of the atom on Hiroshima and
Nagasaki in World War II.

A new reactor, incorporating
developments in the field of nu-
clear physics since the war, was
also seen in operation.

Students observed just as in-
teresting scientific "gadgetry" in
the Oak Ridge "hot" analysis
lab. Here they watched sub-
stances too radioactive to handle

being manipulated by remote-
control "robot" hands in radia-
tion-proof enclosures.

Other interesting instruments
observed were twenty-four elec-
tron microscopes, interestingly
costing $57,000 each and each not
much larger in size than the up-
right home freezer.

Students learned from their
guides that nuclear research is
not the only type of research
done at Oak Ridge. In the bi-
ology division lung cancer in rats
was being investigated with hope
of eventually applying findings
to human beings.

Making the trip were faculty
members Dr. Aris Merijanian and
Miss Johnnie Marie Whitfield,
along with eleven students.

THE ALABAMIAN, Alabama College

GREAT BLAZES!

We are now approaching the first anniversary
of The Great Fire of 1966. This fearful holo-
caust, which consumed in a pillar of fire the
old scene shop, awakened in the students and
administration, alike, an awareness of the need
for an effective fire-drill-alarm-fighting system
on campus. With this in mind, and in answer to
myriads of questioning students, a plan was set
forward (or that's how it was generally under-
stood) to better fire-proof Alabama College.

For some reason action on this plan was slow
in starting. The dorms responded by sending
delegations to the deans and treasurer in an at-
tempt to find out what was going on. Finally,
in a blare of glory, alarm systems were put in
Hanson, Tut, and Ramsay.

This is great. Now everyone will know that
there is a fire or a drill. But how are they sup-
posed to get out? Hanson has three doors, one
in the basement, and two stairwells (natural
chimneys for a fire). Tut has three stairwells
and four doors. Ramsay has two stairwells and
four doors. None of these have exterior fire es-
capes. Main has fire escapes galore, but they
are never used. Everyone uses the three inside
staircases, all wooden, except for the few that
use the silos (which may be discontinued also).

None, I repeat, NONE of the educational build-

ings have ANY KIND of fire system, just a few
outdated extinguishers scattered here and there.
The building that burned was just a few feet
from the Geology Building, where gasoline is
stored, and just across the road from the gas
tank that supplies the Physics Lab. There was
not enough water pressure to do more than to
keep these two potential eruptions wetted down.
The Scene Shop burned, unhampered.

This evidence seems to show that a very im-
portant situation is being pushed aside. It would
take very little effort and not so much money to
take care of this. We could begin with the fire
escapes. Use the ones we have and let the kids
get used to crawling down ladders. Some day
they may need to, but while they are not pres-
sured is the best time to learn.

Put at least two exterior escapes, on the wings,
on each of the smaller dorms and put lights to
mark them. Have drills in climbing up and down
the ladders. Have drills in using the dorm hosei
and extinguishers. (You can stop a lot of thing
almost before they start.)

Napier and New Men's are supposed to be fire-
proof but they need the same considerations
the older buildings.

Now, we ask: What is more important, a little
time and money or two thousand students?

Justice For All
Part Two

By Bob Dinwiddie

To The Editor

An Open Letter To Soldier
In Answer To Queries

In the December 1, 1966, issue of The Alabamian there was an
editorial entitled "Justice For All." The immediate characters were
Samuel Younge and James Earl Motley. The specific point was
that neither murder case was handled justly or impartially because
they were Negroes and the accused slayers were white. The more
general point was that Negroes do not receive justice in Alabama
courts.

The December 15, 1966, issue of The Alabamian published a
letter condemning the earlier editorial for "presenting one rare
case (the Motley case) and attempting to distort this incident until
it appears to represent all cases of its type." The letter-writer was
mistaken in his declaration that this case was rare. It was not.
That is the real tragedy.

In Alabama between 1956 and 1966, nineteen Negroes and three
white civil rights workers were killed. The sum total of prison time
served was ten years. In the same period of time two white men
were killed in the aftermath of racial disturbances: four Negroes
went to prison, one of them for life.

In Mississippi 23 Negroes and two civil rights workers were
slain between 1955 and 1965. The only sentence served was for
manslaughter.

In Georgia eleven Negroes were killed in racially-motivated at-
tacks between 1956 and 1966. The total prison time served by the
slayers was three years. Two killings of whites by Negroes, how-
ever, one in Georgia and one in Mississippi, brought sentences of
death and life imprisonment, respectively.

Though more than half of all convicted rapists are white, 87
per cent of all persons executed for rape between 1930 and 1963
were Negroes convicted in Southern courts. In Virginia a 19-year-
old Negro was found guilty of raping a white woman and a Japan-
ese woman, and of stealing $1.36 from one of them. He received
two death sentences and a 20 year sentence for the theft. Three
months earlier in the same courtroom a white man had received
a five year sentence for raping an 11-year-old Negro girl.

The Alabama Journal of Montgomery has editorialized that
"the conviction of a white man for a crime against a Negro occurs
with just about the same rarity as the acquittal of a Negro ac-
cused of a crime against a white man." The facts can be interpret-
ed in no other way. The evidence from scores of cases covering
scores of years demonstrates that justice is perhaps the most
segregated of Southern institutions. Justice for Negroes is not sepa-
rate but equal; it is non-existent. This fact, or the belief among
Negroes that it is fact, creates desperation, undermines their faith
in democratic institutions, and causes them to look upon policemen
and the courthouse with distrust. Attacks on the jury system are
the inevitable results of allowing that holy institution to become
a toy in the hands of bigots.

When whites urge Negro leaders to stop the marches and dem-
onstrations and take their complaints to the courts in the time-
honored American custom, they are forgetting that it is a time-
honored custom only for white people. The courts have seemed to
uphold the belief of some white Americans that the maintenance

information for the statement that
Americans are killing approxi-
mately two civilians for every
Viet Cong killed. No, I did not
obtain it from "Playboy inter-
view" or from a communist jour-
nal; but I did obtain it from an
Associated Press news release
that was quoted by Bob Bailey,
when he spoke before the Inter-
national Relations Club.

I regret your statement that
The Alabamian should suppress
or censor student opinion that
isn't accepted by the vast ma-
jority, the the campus newspa-
per is for all students to express
their opinions on any matter and
to provide information for the

policy toward South Viet Nam.

of the way of life they prefer takes precedence over the basic
citizenship rights of their Negro countrymen.

Whatever it is that allows Southerners to live with such a sys-
tem of institutionalized injustice can only be described as a ter-
rible sickness. Under no other conditions could a prominent white
man be a hero in his community for shooting an unarmed priest in
the back with a shotgun. When that point was reached, the entire
system of human values was turned upside-down.

Many Americans complain that they are weary and tired of
being reminded of the so-called "Negro Revolution." And it only
started in 1960. It took exactly six years for them to get tired.
Well, the Negroes are tired and weary, too. And they are frustrat-
ed; frustrated because they have been tired and weary for a long,
long, long time. But so far the Negro had demanded justice non-
violently. The record bears out the fact that almost none of the
institutionalized violence comes from Negroes, but is directed against
them, usually with impunity. Someday that may change. Stokely
Carmichael and the Deacons for Defense are merely the first pre-
mature indications. If and when it does, the burden of the blame
will largely lie elsewhere; namely, on the doorsteps of every de-
cent white citizen of the South who believes in justice for all but
has never lifted a voice or a hand in protest to the mockeries of
justice that haunt the Southern scene. As Clemenceau said in
L'Aurore: "The cause of human justice admits of no compromise.
You must be either for or against it." The day will come when
each of us will have to choose a side and raise our hand.

Reflections
On Viet Nam

Reprinted from the CSU Cauldron

Why should you worry or gi
a damn

About what happens in Viet Nam?
Why is it any of your concern
If men and women and children
burn?

Only a pacifist, saint or fool

Believes in stuff like the Golden
Rule . . .

You know the answer — you know

it well—
"This is war and war is hell!'

Yes, war is hell for the men

that fight,
Pawns on a chessboard, brown

and white:
War is death in a sea of mud
To the sound of bullets an

stench of blood:
War is madness told as the truth,
Torturing women and crippling

youth . . .
But you know the answer— you

know it well —
"This is war and war is hell!"

Try to project what your thoughts
would be

If you left your home as
refugee:

Try to imagine the sense of fi
When the napalm scatters and

flames appear . . .
What kind of feelings would

inspire

If you watched a child with its

flesh on fire?
Could you find words for the

pilots above
Who boast about morals and

Christian love?

War is a gamble played with
Fate

Where the stakes are high and

the hour is late:
War is the writing seen on the

wall

Which threatens to come and

engulf us all . . .
It's time to worry and time to

care,

It's time to pity and time to
share;

It's time to consider the Human
Race

And see ourselves in the other
man's place.

St. Bernard Falls To Falcons
In Final Match Of Season

By Mike Malone, Sports Editor

The A.C. tennis team complet-
ed the 1967 season posting a 10-4
record. With four defeats this
year, the netters still managed
the third best season in A.C.'s
tennis history. It is possibly a
sure thing to see last year's 21-0
season never be bettered. It is
most unusual to observe that no
A.C.C. (Alabama Collegiate Con-
ference) team has ever won the
championship twice in succession;
this year is no different. While
winning nine, the netters lost
two, but those two were to Troy
State (5-4 both times). However,
the Conference Tournament be-
gins today at St. Bernard in
Cullman. The ploy will run

through Friday, with the final
matches Saturday. It is impor-
tant to note that no team has
ever won the tournament twice in
succession! The Falcons won last
year naturally.

All but the number two man
on this year's team will receive
seats. To get a seat in the tour-
nament, the players (singles and
doubles) must have finished one
or two in conference play. There-
fore, because of the seats, A.C.
has an excellent chance of re-
peating as A.C.C. champs.

Possible A.C.C. trophy winners
are Donnie Andrews, Number 1;
Bill Toms, Number 3; Mike Lew-
anski, Number 4; Jim Hix, Num-
ber 5; Ronnie Lewis, Number 2;
and Mike Malone, Number 6.

Golf Team Third In Conference

The Alabama College golf team
is on its way to the ACC Confer-
ence Tournament at St. Bernard
College in Cullman. The practice
matches will start today. The
tournament will officially begin
tomorrow.

The Falcon golfers stand third
in the conference. Like in ten-

nis, Troy State holds the num-
ber one spot.

Ron Minson represents A.C. as
number one man with only three
defeats this season. Earl Dren-
nen is the number two man.

The spring meeting for all the
member institutions of the con-
ference will be held at the tour-
nament.

A.C. Takes Jacksonville State
In Season Closer Yesterday

This year's baseball team is
one of the best that the school
has ever had. Despite the many
difficulties that the team has had,
it has shown real competitive
spirit every time it took the field.

The record, six wins and twelve
defeats, does not show the real
class of ball played by the team.
About half of these were lost in
tight extra innings.

Much of the reason the base-
ball team kept fighting was be-
cause of the fine leadership of
some team players. Ed Briggs,
Junior Murray, Sam Heidi, Mike
Hays, and "Stretch" Patterson
all played important factors in
this. Even though the record
doesn't show it, students at A.C.
have much to look forward to
next year. While losing only six
graduating seniors, the team will

be back in force with a fine
crop of returning underclassmen.

A.C. closed out the season by
defeating Jacksonville State 9-8
in 13 innings. Mike Hays pitched
a strong game for the full 13
innings. This defeat of Jackson-
ville, being in first place in their
division, is indicative of the type
of ball A.C. is capable of play-
ing. The fine coaching of Coach
Lightfoot has helped the team
improve from game to game. The
experience the team has gained
this season is another sure mark,
of success for next year's team.

Ed Briggs and Sam Heidi were
announced at the athletic banquet
as captain and co-captain, re-
spectively, for the year. Also an-
nounced was the selection of Ed
Briggs as the Most Valuable
Player.

would begin two school days (four calendar days) earlier than
had been previously announced the whole campus, faculty and
students, has been in an uproar.

There is a very reasonable answer and explanation for this
change. According to Dr. John B. Walters, Dean of the College,
the change was a beneficial one. He only regrets the abruptness
of the announcement

The schedule was altered for several reasons. The first of
these is obvious when the schedule is examined: there are now
six days of finals instead of the usual four. This addition of
two days makes it easier for faculty and students alike. After
making extensive checks on samples of the student body under
the old schedule the dean and registrars found that a great
many of the students would have three finals on the same day,
which has not been unusual in the past. By carefully rework-
ing the schedule they eliminated these three-a-day finals.

This spreading out of tests also gives more time for study
for individual tests. In most cases it will be one a night.

Another reason for the change is to prevent a paper pile-up
in the registrar's office and to enable them to get out semester
grades before summer school starts so those students, and the
dean, will know what they are eligible to take.

Also for the benefit of registrar and students, the change
will make it easier to get out senior grades on time so that
everyone will know ahead of time (like before Commencement
begins) that they will or will not meet the requirements for
graduation.

Of course the change will inconvenience some people and
perhaps a department and this is regrettable. Some will be un-
fortunate enough to have a class on Thursday and its final
exam on Friday but only a few.

The half day Thursday is another innovation. In the past
the last day of classes was a full day and there was no real
break before testing began. This, in a sense, is also a disad-
vantage because some courses lose one or even two class days
that may be needed and will put a rush on everyone to com-
plete a course in time (of course— nothing will speed up some
courses).

Remember that you still have at least one full week before
exams begin and now is the time to start reviewing. It will be
no one's fault but your own if you fail to get enough studying
done.

Plans For A.C's Incoming Classes Exciting

Huge Campus Expansion Under
Way; Buildings Get Air Conditioning

Alabama College's incoming classes will have the opportunity
of watching one of the most dramatic academic facility expansion
programs in Alabama.

Already under construction are three major buildings. When
completed, these structures will provide a 130% increase in instruc-
tional space on the Montevallo campus.

Aerial photo by College Photographer Ed Blake shows quadrangle part of main campus. Napier
Hall in foreground houses 178 men. Across quadrangle from Napier Hall is Main Dormitory, hous-
ing nearly 500 coeds. The college has three residence halls for men and three for women.

Recreation
Facilities Among
Best In U. S.

Golf, tennis, swimming, bowl-
ing, canoeing, dancing, archery,
team sports, fishing and nearly
any type of recreation or sport
is available at Alabama College.

In addition to the popular in-

A.C. Places 6 Grads On Jaycee's List
'Outstanding Young Men Of America 7

Six prominent Alabama College alumni have been chosen for
listing in the 1967 edition of "Outstanding Young Men of America."

Selected for honors in the national publication are Dr. S. M.
Mahan, Jr., Montevallo; William P. Powers, III, Talladega; Arthur
Neal Shirley, Birmingham; William R. Jones, Decatur; Ellis Faught,
Jr., Greensboro; and Kenneth Brooks, Decatur, Georgia.

"Outstanding Young Men of America" is an annual publication
compiled by the national Jaycees. It includes a listing of approxi-
mately 10,000 young men between the ages of 21 and 35 from
throughout the nation. Selections are made by a 14-man national
board of editors.

Doug Blankenship, past U. S. Jaycee president and chairman of
the selection board, said those chosen to the listing "have dis-
tinguished themselves in one or more fields of endeavor to the
point of being outstanding."

He said nominations for the book come from many sources,
with the majority coming from Jaycee chapters and college alumni
associations.

First of the new buildings to
be completed is the Home Man-
agement Laboratory. When ready
for occupancy, this new facility
will provide complete facilities
for instruction in all phases of
home management, design, equip-
ment and maintenance. The mod-
ern residence-type structure will
be a part of the Department of
Home Economics facilities.

In appearance this building will
resemble a modern, spacious
home. Coeds majoring in cer-
tain aspects of Home Economics
will actually live in the Home
Management Laboratory for sev-
eral weeks during their senior
year.

300,000 Volume Library

The college's new library will
be a three-story, brick building
containing some 60,000 square
feet of floor space, with a stor-
age capacity for more than 300,-
000 volumes. Books will be ar-
ranged in the library "open
stack" style.

Up-to-date facilities included in
the new library are carrels which
will provide private work areas
within the building.

The library will face the col-
lege's historic King House and
will be served by one of the
seven campus parking areas.

Science Building to Display Geode

The two-story science building
will contain more than 50,000
square feet of floor space and
will house the college's physical
and natural science departments
and the mathematics department.
Some 64 classrooms and labora-
tories will be included in the
building.

Bowling is a popular after-class
sport.

basketball, golf, tennis, baseball
and cross country, an almost end-
less number of recreational facili-
ties is available for students.

Unique is the college's 28-acre
recreational lake. This body of
water located adjacent to the
main campus provides opportu-
nities for fishing, canoeing, pic-
nics, and other aquatic sports.

Recreational swimming, team
swimming and synchronized
swimming are available in McCall

with movable walls providing an
"outdoor pool" during the sum-
mer months and a heated in-
door pool during cold weather.

A.C. Costs Among
Lowest In Nation

The instructional program at
Alabama College has frequently
been described as one of the su-
perior programs in the Southeast.
It has also been described as one
of the least expensive programs,
in terms of dollars and cents.

One parent has been quoted as
saying: "It would be difficult to
keep my son at home, for less
money."

Total cost for one semester at
Alabama College is $423.22. This
figure includes a room in one of
the residence halls, three meals
per day, medical charges, tuition
and state sales tax on meals. The
$423.22 is for residents of the
state of Alabama and is for an
entire semester. No special fees
are charged, except for private
music lessons.

Admissions
Policies Explained

Alabama College welcomes ap-
plications from high school sen-
iors and transfers from junior
and senior colleges. Applications
for admission to the freshman
class should be received as soon
as possible after September 15
of the applicant's senior year.

A freshman applicant should
present a satisfactory record from
an accredited high school. The
high school record, references,
medical examination, and Ala-
bama College ACT prediction per-
centiles determine an applicant's
suitability for admission. Ala-
bama College does extensive re-
search on each freshman class
and relates the ACT scores to
this data comparing the applicant
with the immediate past fresh-
man class. This means that high
school grades, ACT scores, and
the performance of freshmen on
the Alabama College campus are
taken into consideration when an
admission is made.

An applicant's high school tran-
script is the best predictor for
success. However, Alabama Col-
lege recognizes that no infallible
indicator for success has been
found. In many cases, success is
related to the individual appli-
cant's desire for and willingness
to work toward a college educa-
tion.

Applications for admission to
Alabama College are handled on
an individual basis and are not
machine programmed.

Alabama College has an early
admission program f o r high
school juniors who show excel-
lent promise for college work.
Admission of these applicants is
based on the high school grade
point average, recommendation
by high school officials, and ACT
predictive formulas that would
place the student in the top 10%
of our past freshman class. This
program is designed to fit the
needs of those able, mature high
school juniors who desire to: (1)
forego the senior year in high
school and enter the freshman
year of college; (2) complete a
summer college program and re-
turn to high school for their sen-
ior year.

Application for admission should
be accompanied by a deposit in
the amount of $20.00. This amount
covers the cost of the freshman
orientation program and reserves
a room in a residence hall for
those who will live on campus.
Fifteen dollars ($15.00) of this
deposit is refundable, provided
the applicant has not participat-
ed in the orientation program and
provided written notice of the
cancellation of an application is
received no later than August 1
for the fall semester, December
1 for the spring semester, and
June 1 for the summer term.

College admissions personnel
welcome the opportunity of talk-
ing with prospective students re-
garding their admission to Ala-
bama College.

Dean Comments

In this highly complex world in
which many values and institu-
tions are being questioned there
is a growing need for leadership.
The hope of the future will be
found, in large measure, in the
thoughtful actions of an informed
citizenry, led by well-prepared
leaders. In a time in which di-
visive forces would tear our na-
tion apart, our strength must be
shored up by well-educated men
and women who are well-founded
in our history and tradition and
who know that our greatness
tests upon sound moral and spir-
itual values.

Alabama College, with its em-
phasis upon the liberal arts, is
dedicated to good teaching, which
encourages intellectual curiosity,
and attempts to provide young
men and women with sound
knowledge upon which to base
good judgment. A competent fac-
ulty works shoulder to shoulder
with students in a friendly aca-
demic atmosphere to aid the in-
dividual student in his develop-
ment into a mature well-educated
citizen — one who is better equip-
ped to earn a good livelihood and
yet sensitive enough to make sub-
stantial cultural and civic contri-
butions to the life of his commu-
nity, state and nation.

Here on this beautiful campus,
with its many recreational and
social activities, students, faculty,
and administrative officers of
Alabama College work together to
hold high the standards which
have provided so many outstand-
ing graduates over the years.

JOHN B. WALTERS, JR.
Dean of the College

RECREATION

(Continued from Page 1)

ing distance of the main cam-
pus is used for intercollegiate
competition, tournament play and
intramural matches. Recreational
golf is available for students at
no cost.

Two intramural sports fields
are the sites for seasonal outdoor
sports including football, volley-
ball, baseball, soccer, softball,
and t;ack events.

Two gymnasiums are available
for such indoor sports and recre-
ation as basketball, tumbling,
modern dance, and badminton.

Four bowling alleys equipped
with electronic pin setters are lo-
cated in the recently completed
student union building.

Montevallo's central location
makes it easy to attend sporting,
cultural and recreational attrac-
ions in Birmingham and Mont-
gomery.

The location of Alabama Col-
lege in the exact center of the
state, plus its unusually large
number of recreational facilities
coupled with a rich program of
concerts and lectures contributes
to the uniqueness of the entire
college.

College's Accreditation Determines
Value Of Graduates' Degrees

The often-quoted phrase "... A person is known by the com-
pany he keeps" has a parallel in higher education. A college de-
gree is known by the accreditation of the college granting the
degree.

Nearly 50 years ago Alabama

College was admitted to member-
ship in the Southern Association
of Colleges and Schools, the na-
tionally recognized accrediting or-
ganization for schools, colleges
and universities located in the
South.

In 1928 the college was granted
membership in the Association
of American Colleges. In 1931 Ala-
bama College was approved by
the American Association of Uni-
versity Women and in the same
year the Department of Music
was accredited by the National
Associatoin of Schools of Music.

In 1935 Alabama College and
several other colleges and uni-
versities in the South founded
the prestigous Southern Univer-
sity Conference. Also in 1935 the
College was granted membership
in the American Council on Edu-
cation. It was placed on the ap-
proved list of the Association of
American Universities in 1942.

In addition to the already men-
tioned accreditations, the College
holds memberships in the Asso-
ciation of Alabama Colleges, the
National Association of Business
Teacher Training Institutions, The
Council on Social Work Educa-
tion and the Southern Humanities
Conference.

A college degree also means cap
and gown.

Many Financial
Aids Available

Through institutional and fed-
erally subsidized assistance pro-
grams, Alabama College is able
to provide financial aid in a vari-
ety of forms to many of its stu-
dents.

Twenty-six different scholar-
ship categories are available to
students. These scholarships with
more than a hundred recipients
are outright grants and are ad-
ministered by various depart-
ments of the college as well as
non-college agencies, organiza-
tions and individuals.

Some two dozen different lend-
ing agencies make low-cost loans
available. The College partici-
pates in the National Student
Loan Program, which provides
loans under the National Defense
Education Act of 1958. The vari-
ous loan programs available fea-
ture extremely low interest rates
and many do not require repay-
ment until the student has fin-
ished college.

The College Work-Study Pro-
gram is a federally subsidized
program designed to make avail-
able part-time employment of stu-
dents. Off-campus employment is
involved in this program.

Opportunities for students to
earn part of their college ex-
penses through part-time work in
college offices are available. Ad-
ministrative offices, the college
cafeteria, departmental offices,
the library, and various mainte-
nance areas employ students on
a part-time basis.

Lab To Be Completed During 1967-1968

Design Of New Buildings Will
Complement Existing Architecture

A remarkable blending of old and new architectural styles has
been accomplished with the design and placement of Alabama Col-
lege's newest buildings.

The new three-story library now under construction will face
the oldest building on campus, King House. King House, erected in
1823, was the "mansion house" of the first owner of the land on
which the college is built. Now used for offices of the Psychology
Department, King House is said to be the first brick house and the
first house with glass windows in Central Alabama.

New College Library will be a three-story building containing some 60,000 square feet of floor space
with a capacity for more than 300,000 books. Volumes will be arranged "open stack" style, with
up-to-date facilities including carrels for individual study.

Air Conditioning Unit First Of Its
Kind In State; To Serve Entire Campus

Temperature control for all campus buildings is the ultimate
objective of a new and unique system currently being installed at
Alabama College.

Initially seven structures will be connected to the system in-
cluding three buildings now under construction and four existing
buildings. The cooling capacity of the system when it goes into
operation will be equal to some 930 tons of ice per hour. When all
buildings on campus are served by the centrally located unit, the
cooling capacity will be equal to the melting of 1,860 tons of ice
per hour.

The new temperature control

unit is the first institutional sys-
tem of its kind to be used in Ala-
bama. Described as a "steam
absorption chilled water unit,"
the system will provide steam
heat during cold weather and a
method of steam cooling during
summer months.

Huge underground pipes will
carry a coolant from the unit to
each of the campus buildings.

Construction and installation
costs will be approximately $350,-
000.

King House and its antebellum
charm will be separated from the
new library by an expanse of
lawn that is shaded by huge cen-
tury-old trees.

The use of vertical columns
provides a transition between ar-
chitectural periods. Variations of
vertical columns appear in each
of the new buildings.

Historic Reynolds Hall, named
for Captain Henry Clay Reynolds,
possesses the most prominent col-
umns of all campus buildings.
Built in 1851, Reynolds Hall re-

tains the beauty of antebellum
buildings, yet functions as a mod-
ern college structure. It houses
a number of administrative of-
fices, as well as a practice thea-
tre, broadcasting studios, and a
spacious foyer.

Located across campus from
Reynolds Hall, the new Home
Management Laboratory makes
use of full vertical columns
around its entrance.

The new Science Building uses
a modified version of vertical
columns in its external decor.

CAMPUS CONSIDERED
BEAUTY SPOT

Alabama College's 500 acre
campus is considered to be one
of the beauty spots of the South.
Spacious lawns, stately trees and
an unusual number of flowers
and shrubs contribute to the nat-
ural attractiveness of the campus.

More than 36 buildings, all with
a similarity in architecture, are
included in the physical facilities
of the college.

Modern Home Management Laboratory will be supervised by Department of Home Economics.

New Science Building will house all physical and natural science
departments. An unusual feature will be an open air courtyard.

Summer Students From Entire South

Education continues throughout the year at Alabama College.
During the annual ten-week Summer Session outstanding visiting
lecturers supplement the regular faculty.

Students and teachers alike, from throughout the South, enroll
to supplement their college work with additional training and ex-
perience. Graduate students frequently take advantage of summer
sessions to accelerate their program of studies.

The Summer Session is divided into two terms of five weeks
each.

Requirements for the issuance and reinstatement of the several
types of Alabama teachers certificates may be met by work com
pleted in summer school.

During the Summer Session many special workshops, confer-
ences, special programs and institutes are held which are not
scheduled during the regular academic year.

For detailed information regarding Summer Sessions including
courses of study and a copy of the Summer School Bulletin, write

Campus Living At A. C. Is Safe, Comfortable Wholesome

Located in Montevallo, only
two miles from the exact center
of the state, Alabama College's
500 - acre campus is ideal
in its central location, scenic
beauty and recreational facilities.

Six residence halls are conven-
iently located within easy walk-
ing distance from all campus
buildings, classrooms and labora-
tories. Residence halls contain
recreation and study rooms, re-

ception rooms and other facili-
ties for wholesome living.

Alabama College students find
campus life geared to their own
interests. Democracy among stu-
dents is apparent in everyday re-

lationships in residence halls,
classrooms, laboratories and ath-
letic areas. Guided by the in-
terest and advice of deans and
counselors, students govern them-
selves.

Montevallo has been described
as an ideal college town, com-
bining natural beauty and a
friendly spirit. The town's homes,
churches, stores and recreational
facilities are easily accessible.

Main Dormitory, the largest residence hall for women on campus, comprises three
distinct wings, connected by cross halls. This building contains reception halls, rec-
reation areas, parlors and rooms for some 450 students.

Ramsay Hall, one of three dormitories for men, accommodates some 120 students.

Tutwiler Hall is the campus home for 102 coeds.

Napier Hall, named for Dr. T. H. Napier who served as Dean of the College for
26 years, is a modern, air conditioned residence hall, housing 178 students.

SHHBHHHHHHHHi

The nine-hole Alabama College golf course is located within easy walking distance
of the main campus. Students are permitted to play without charge and the course
is used for instructional and recreational purposes as well as for intercollegiate
competition. The Alabama College Golf Club is a member of the United States
Golf Association.

Intercollegiate baseball is played on the College Diamond. Complete with double
backstop, bleachers and dugouts, the diamond is one unit of the college's Athletic
Field.

As a member of the Alabama Collegiate Conference, Alabama College's Falcons
play their home basketball games in the college's recently completed Physical Edu-
cation Building. This building contains a gymnasium with a seating capacity in ex-
cess of 2,000.

A.C.'s cheerleaders perform at all home basketball games and occasionally accom-
pany the team on road trips.

McCall Pool, the college's indoor-outdoor swimming pool, is popular both summer
and winter. During cold weather months the building's sides close, providing a
heated indoor pool. In warm weather the sides may be retracted, forming an out-
door pool-recreation area.

The college's 28 acre recreational lake located one-half mile from the main campus
is a popular picnic and fishing area for students and faculty alike. The lake is
stocked with fish and is available for fishing and boating.

A battery of hard-surfaced tennis courts are used for tournaments, instruction, in-
tercollegiate competition and recreation.

Music Groups Tour State

Far more requests for concerts than can be filled are received
each year by Alabama College's Department of Music.

Annual tours are conducted each year by the famed Concert
Choir, the Wind Ensemble, the Chorale, vocal soloists, and instru-
mentalists.

The largest of the touring
groups is the well-known Concert
Choir with some 80 singers. Trav-
elling by chartered bus the Con-
cert Choir, logs hundreds of miles
each year fulfilling requests for

concerts throughout Alabama and
neighboring states. This group of
musicians is frequently featured
in concert with the Birmingham
Symphony Orchestra and often-
times performs for major con-

ventions in Alabama's principal
cities.

The 50-piece wind ensemble is
the college's next largest group
of touring musicians. Also trav-
elling by chartered bus this en-
semble makes an annual tour
throughout the state.

The all-girl College Chorale re-
ceives many requests to present
programs for civic groups and,
luncheon clubs. Once each year
the Chorale makes a trip to sev-
eral sections of Alabama for both
day and nighttime concerts.

Accompanying its academic program, Alabama College provides
a number of services to help each student become a well-rounded
person and to assist in realizing a maximum benefit from college.

An active program of vocational testing and counseling serves
many students. This program is supervised by a Vocational Guid-
ance Committee of the faculty and administration.

The Placement Bureau serves,
without charge, students and for-
mer students of the college who
wish to be placed in teaching or
non-teaching positions, business
and industry. This service is not
confined to graduates, but is open
to all students and former stu-
dents.

As friendly advisers the Deans
offer counsel on a variety of mat-
ters: educational, social, finan-
cial, housing, activities, conduct
and personal.

Peterson Hall, the campus in-
firmary with thirty-six beds, is
maintained exclusively for the
care of students in all medical
cases. A full-time physician and
three nurses have charge of this
service.

College students enjoy the bene-
fits of a modern cafeteria operat-
ed by a nationally known food
services firm. The cafeteria is
staffed by experts in institutional
food preparation who employ sci-
ence and art in the preparation
and serving of meals to all col-
lege personnel.

Students always receive a warm
welcome in Montevallo's churches.
Several churches have student
centers or maintain student pro-
grams with clergymen assigned
because of their interest in young
people and their lives. Many stu-
dents actively participate in the
various church choirs or enjoy
religious and sacred music in the
various college music groups.

Student Center
Popular Among
Students

The recently completed Student
Center at Alabama College has
proved to be one of the most
popular buildings on the entire
campus.

Completely air-conditioned and
containing more than 20,000
square feet of floor space, the
centrally located Student Center
houses all of the Student Govern-
ment Offices as well as the cam-
pus bookstore.

Perhaps the most popular area
of the Student Center is the mod-
ern snack bar where students
gather between and after classes
for conversation and a soft drink.

Running a close second in pop-
ularity is the bowling alley and
game room. Instruction in bowl-
ing is provided by the Depart-
ment of Health, Physical Educa-
tion and Recreation.

The building also contains the
campus post office, conference
rooms, a projection room for
viewing films, and meeting areas
for small groups.

Emphasis On Quality

(Continued from Page 1)
recognition has come to many
members of the teaching faculty
for contributions made to higher
education. Not only do faculty
members teach facts and subject
matter, they strive to make each
student want to find out more
for himself, to arouse and stimu-
late academic curiosity.

The combination of a dedicated
faculty, well equipped labora-
tories, classrooms and studios, a
library with more than 100,000
volumes, plus an atmosphere of
genuine scholarship has led to
Alabama College's reputation as

an institution providing quality
education.

By study in a variety of ma-
jor and minor fields, a student
can receive training and expe-
rience in an almost unlimited
number of areas, and may earn
the following degrees: Bachelor
of Arts, Bachelor of Science,
Bachelor of Music, Bachelor of
Music Education and Master of
Arts in Teaching.

One of the most unusual structures on campus is the College Tower
Th.s cylmdrical office building contains three floors. The first two
f oors are occupied by offices of the student newspaper and the
student yearbook. The third floor houses the electronic mechanism
and console for the College Carillon.

The Alabamian, the college
newspaper, was first published in
1923, and now is distributed to
all students and to the staff and
faculty. A complete staff of edi-
tors, reporters and columnists,
all students, produce the news-
paper every other week.

The college yearbook, The Mon-
tage, was first published in 1907
and has been issued every year
since. This publication provides
experience in photography, lay-
out, design, and other facets of
the printed page.

The Tower, the college literary
magazine, was first published in
1932 to stimulate creative writ-
ing among students and to estab-
lish a tradition of "literary alive-
ness." Contributions to The Tower
are received from any member
of the student body.

Radio Station WRSD, "The
Voice of Alabama College," is
heard throughout the campus. Lo-
cated in the college's historic
Reynolds Hall, WRSD has facili-
ties for radio training and ex-
perience. Studios, control and
monitoring equipment, tape re-
corders, transmitter, record and
transcription library, microphones
and remote control equipment
provide excellent facilities for ra-
dio training.

Students perform all duties as-
sociated with this campus radio
station.

NEW A. C. MASCOT Delta Club member Johnny Shivers demonstrates the new Falcon mascot's
training. He, along with Jack Hoping, will train and care for the bird.

AC Mascot
Arrives

The Delta Social Club will present A.C. with its first living
mascot, Delta president Steve Durel announced this week Presen-
tation of the four-month-old falcon will be at the first home basket-
ball game.

The falcon, now viewing his new home and alma mater-to-be
from a cage behind Bloch Hall, was purchased by the club last
week from a bird enthusiast in Memphis, Tenn. Care and feeding
of the mascot will be the responsibility of the Delta club.

A training program designed to instruct the bird in its new role
of leading the Falcon athlete teams on to victory will be carried
out under the supervision of Dr. Eugene B. Sledge of the AC bi-
ology department. Dr. Sledge noted in examining the bird that it
is in excellent condition but is moulting its immature feathers. He
also pointed out that the falcon will grow to at least two or three
times its present size.

A contest for naming A.C.'s new mascot has been initiated by
the Delta Club, and the S.G.A. Spirit Committee has offered a prize
of $25 for the most original and appropriate entry. (See back page
for entry blank.)

Entry boxes will be set up in the cafeteria Monday and Tues-
day, and a panel of judges will announce the winner at a later
date.

Everyone be sure to enter the "Name the Falcon" contest; this
is your chance to make a real contribution to your school. And we
owe thanks to the Deltas for a magnificent show of school spirit!

Buildings
Are Named

Three major buildings at Ala-
bama College will bear the names
of a trio of prominent state lead-
ers formerly associated with the
liberal arts college.

Recent action by the College's
Board of Trustees officially nam-
ed the buildings— a dormitory,
the physical education building
and the student center— honoring
a former Board of Trustees
chairman and two faculty mem-
bers, all now deceased.

The dormitory, known since its
construction in 1961 as New Men's
Hall, is named Nelson Owen Ful-
ler Hall. The four-story structure
houses over 200 students.

Fuller, a prominent Centreville
attorney, served as a member of
the AC Board of Trustees for 24
years, 12 of these as chairman
of the Executive Committee.

During his tenure as a Board
member, Alabama College be-
came a co-educational institution,
established an honors program
for undergraduate students, in-
stituted a program of graduate
studies, and initiated a European
Summer Seminar series.

Under his guidance the college
was placed on the approved list
of the Association of American
Universities. Fuller retired as a
Trustee in January 1963, and was
awarded the honorary Doctor of
Laws degree from AC in June
1965.

The college's physical educa-
tion building is named for the
late Geneva Inez Myrick. Opened
in 1964, the building combines a
gymnasium, field house, class-
rooms and faculty offices under
one roof.

Miss Myrick, a native of Deats-
ville, served on the AC faculty
from 1952 until her death in May
1966. She was an AC graduate
and received her Master of Arts
degree from Peabody College in
Nashville.

Prior to her return to Monte-
vallo she taught physical educa-
tion in state high schools and at
Auburn University. She held top
posts in professional associations
at local, state, regional and na-
tional levels, and received num-
erous honors for outstanding ser-
vice in the field of health, physi-
cal education and recreation.

The student center, in opera-
tion on the Montevallo campus
since Oct. 1965, is named for Dr.
Hallie Farmer, noted educator,
author and civic leader in Ala-
bama.

She was hailed as the "undis-
puted champion of Alabama's
politically-minded women," and
was active in prison reform move-
ments as well as leading the
campaign for jury service for
women.

Dr. Farmer served as a faculty
member and chairman of the so-
cial sciences department at AC
from 1925 until 1956 when she
retired. She was elected to the
Montevallo Town Council for two
four-year terms, and was founder
and state president of the Joint
Legislative Council in 194042.

A leader in the Business and
Professional Women's Club and
the American Association of Uni-
versity Women, she was the B&
PW's first "Alabama Woman of
Achievement," receiving this
honor in 1954 and again in 1955.

Something Better Than Buildings

Dust from construction is not the only sign in
the air that changes are occurring on A.C. cam-
pus. From the first carload of last weekend's ar-
rivals, a less tangible change in the student body
was evident

For lack of a better word, there was a spirit
to match, the progress on campus. Students seem-
ed much less disturbed over living conditions in
crowded dormitories than some apprehensive
mothers. Everywhere more delighted greetings
between old friends were heard over groans at
extra roommates and crumbling plaster.

Even registration, hectic as usual, elicited fewer
negative responses by determined class-seekers.
One coed was seen shrugging good-naturedly at
the news that Biology 101 was closed.

But sprit is not just something that ever
arrived with; some hard work has been going
A mysterious Spirit Committee, whose name
us wondering if the S.G.A. had taken to the
cult or drink, is now known for giving A.C.
long-awaited fight song. And the Falcons
their first live mascot, due to the efforts of
Delta Social Club.

Even the freshmen seem more a part of
campus than in previous years. Less mousy,
not less ratted, they show every sign of bee
ing the best class ever.

So let's get behind the Spirit Committee an
participate in campus life this year. When the I
dust settles, that A.C. spirit will be greater than
ALL the new buildings it brightens.

Welcome Students!

President
Says Hello

We are glad to have you on the campus! It is good to see for-
mer students who have returned home and we are highly pleased
with our new students.

Crowded conditions and inconveniences on the campus are view-
ed with mixed emotions: We are sorry about the necessity for stu-
dents living in crowded dormitories, and with inconveniences re-
sulting from construction, but we are highly pleased to have the op-
portunity of pushing plant development for Alabama College.

During the current year we expect to complete the following
facilities: a new home management laboratory (now occupied by
students); a new library building; a new science building; a new
central air-conditioning plant; two new dormitories, one for men
and one for women; a modernized central heating plant which will
use gas as the operating fuel, thereby greatly reducing smoke, soot,
and cinders from daily heating operations; complete modernization
of Main Dormitory; modernization of Bloch Hall, modernization of
Comer Hall, and modernization of Wills Hall (the old library). If
conditional appropriations are paid, we hope to build a new music
building and a new speech and hearing clinic, plus the moderniza-
tion of Reynolds Hall and completion of Myriek Hall (the new
health, physical education and recreation building).

This construction program dwarfs all past campus developments
and we can be thankful for the opportunity of bringing our campus
plant up to a point of reasonable adequacy. This cannot be achieved
without inconveniences and we are highly pleased with the enthusi-
astic, cooperative approach being made by students to help AC with
its growing pains.

Our highest hope is that this year will be the best one yet aca-
demically. Crowded conditions need not hamper good work. If the
dormitories are looked upon as a place to sleep, using the library,
the study hall in Reynolds, and Comer Hall, along with the student
center, as areas for work and recreation, the crowded dormitories
should not impair your ability to do good work. Occupants of each
room can, to a large extent, compensate for the inconveniences by
cooperative arrangements which best fit existing conditions.

But, the best of the year ahead is the opportunity of working
with you, the students. We count it a high privilege to have the as-
signment of assisting you in the great adventure of higher education.

Welcome, again, to Alabama College. I shall look forward to
seeing you often.

D. P. Culp, President

S.G.A. President
Welcomes Students

Dear Fellow Students,

I would like to take this opportunity on behalf of the Student
Government Association to welcome you officially to A. C. It is
certainly good to see the imany familiar as well as new faces on
campus again.

This year at Alabama College we are looking forward to a very
eventful year. We have a social calendar that should provide an
active social life; and all social events are free to A.C. students.

Something new at Alabama College is the S.G.A. spirit commit-
tee. The purpose of this group is to promote school spirit among
students and participation in campus social life. The committee will
only prove effective, however, if the student body supports it
throughout the year.

The S.G.A. is also concentrating on more effective communica-
tion between the student body and senators. We urge everyone to
take an interest in the senate activities and to implement the work
of the communications comimittee by taking note of the bulletin
boards on campus and by reading The Alabamian.

Finally, to you freshmen, one word of advice. Take the "ratting"
in good style. In doing so you will find that you make new friends
and become an integral part of campus life sooner than you thought.

Sincerely,

James I>. Hayes,
President, S.G.A.

Dean Walters
Greets Campus

To Alabama College Students:
From John Bennett Walters, Dean

May I officially welcome you to
the campus at Alabama College.
To returning students, may I say
that, we have missed you during
the vacation period, and it is
good to have you back. To our
new students, may I assure you
that you will find here a friendly
staff and student body. Most of
you had an opportunity to visit
the campus during the summer,
and you met both members of
the faculty and administration,
and now you will have an oppor-
tunity to meet a friendly and in-
terested student body.

It is characteristic of Alabama
College students that they very
soon develop a warm devotion
to the college and come to love
not only the fine people here but
its beautiful campus and build-
ings.

It would be well for all of us
to remember the primary purpose
for which you have come to Ala-
bama College, namely, to secure
a sound education. It is my hope
that every student will apply him-
self with energy and regularity
to his course of study.

This should come first, and
then it is my hope that you will
enjoy making new friends and
participating in the many activi-
ties which will be open to you.

The Dean's office will be avail-
able to you to see that your ex-
periences at Alabama College
will bring you both happiness and
satisfaction.

Dean Paty
Gives Welcome

To Our Students:

We wish for you a happy and
successful year — new friends, new
ideas, and new concepts of what
you can become.

We welcome our upperclassmen,
those familiar faces whom we
have come to know and admire.

We welcome our freshmen, a
strange and wonderful combina-
tion of enthusiasm, ambition and,
of course, a dream.

This is a special and very un-
usual beginning for Alabama Col-
lege. All are special and unusual!
Special to each student because
it is her year, her experience,
her college career.

Check your sense of values! A
few dollars can provide physical
improvements — another chair or
desk— but all of the bond issues
of the state cannot buy school
spirit or a splendid school record.
These are a by-product of some-
thing you have accomplished;
they emanate from a spirit that
has achieved and is proud.

And so, "As you throw the
weight of your influence on the
side of good, the true and the
beautiful, your life will achieve
endless splendor."

In All Sincerity,
Adelaide Paty

Long, Hot Summer

By Margo Stephenson
Society Editor

Welcome back to A.C. This is the year of three-to-the-i
togetherness, new buildings and, if you're a boy, falling brii
plaster and the friendly workman next door. We who spent
summer on campus pursuing the fine arts had a ringside seat
the changes taking place and the little incidents that make life
teresting.

In case the hot news from summer school missed you, here is
a hint at what went on besides the ripping up and sticking bad
together.

The days of chivalry have not ended on the AC campus, as an)
who lived in New Hall this summer can tell you. We witnessed
this chivalry every Monday like clock-work. Sir Peavy of the Pipe
would come rolling up to the back of the dorm, honk twice, and
from her tower a young lady would emerge with clean, ironed
tunics. Into Sir Peavy's arms she'd fly, shirts flapping in the breeze,
and away they'd go.

Could it be that love at last has found Sir Peavy or has he just
discovered Chinese laundry service?

We also had a sophomore girl in training for next year's sum-
mer Olympics in Mexico. Seems she like to train out in the woods
surrounding certain deserted box cars. She and her trainer had
spat and dexterous Diann hiked the seven miles back to campui

I wouldn't advise any freshman women to try this — you
as familiar with the surrounding haunts as upperclass women— I
you will be.

If you like the unusual and daring, you might be interested
the drama that took place in mid-summer. It seems, for all any(
can find out, that a graduating senior and his date got into a li'
trouble with local law enforcement officers and then with
Brother. Getting kicked out of school is nothing new— but as a pi
requisite for marriage?

Well, anyway, the story goes that they live happily ever
They'd have to, after all that.

So went the long hot summer at AC. We'll see what unfolds
the year passes.

Tips To Freshman Girls

By Nancy Boyer
Feature Writer

Welcome to A.C! To most of
you freshman girls campus life
is still a big shaky question-
mark. Well, let an "old" upper-
classman help you out a little.

You will find that the longer
you live at a college the more
trade tricks you accumulate. To
save you a year or so of head-
aches we will give you a few
helpful hints that may make this
year a little less difficult and a
little more fun.

First, the purse. It's as clear
a mark of a freshman as the
Green Beanie! You don't need it;
ail you need is a billfold for keys,
change and your I-D. (Besides,
a purse gets in your way— and
is easy to forget— like umbrel-
las!).

As long as we're talking about
clothes . . . You girls may find
that you'll leave a path of dress
shoes strewn behind you if your
shoes have tiny or spike heels.
Fashion is benevolent. For block
heels are ideal for strolling down
brick streets and sidewalks (and

they're more comfortable).

One of the handiest devices
a college community is.
you believe, the hair dryer,
lowly everyday appliance is
biggest time-saver of them
and an item of many talents..

It not only dries ahir and
but dries hose, warms toes
those of us not equipped
electric blankets), even
butter for popcorn! Every _
new use comes to light. Y'
probably discover a few yours

Since closet space is at
a premium, even more so
before, foot lockers are in
and blouse and skirt h
that hold several of each

And those formals— after
Freshman Reception send the*
home. You won't need one ufrt"
the Beauty Ball, and that's 4
long way off. In the meanti*^
you can use that space for sort?
thing more useful.

One last hint, let yourself i°
and have a great time. Expl" 1 *
everything, join things, participsj*!
and study (a little), and y»»1
love A.C. too!

Intramurals
For Women
Start Monday

By Ann Smith
Women's Sports Editor

Fall intramurals are on the
way! As familiar a part of A.C.
life. as ratting, brick streets, pea-
nut butter and jelly sandwiches
and that everlasting whistle, fall
intramurals will begin soon.

Volleyball leads the list of ac-
tivities this year, beginning Mon-
day, Sept. 25, at 4 p.m. Practice
will begin Monday followed by
the forming of teams by classes.
Later there will be a round robin
tournament and a double elimina-
tion to determine the winning
class and team.

For tennis enthusiasts we have
something too. Tennis singles be-
gin on our newly-resurfaced
courts Oct. 2. And if your inter-
est happens to lie in golf, intra-
nurals for you will begin Oct.
21.

With increased enrollment we're
expecting a large number of par-
ticipants in all activities this
year, so don't sit in the dorm
every afternoon wondering where
he action is; sign up for intra-
murals Monday afternoon! They
are open to everyone, and one
need not be expert to participate
in her favorite sports.

CLASSIFIED

The Alabamian will extend a

Sports

A Review Of Last Year

Welcome to Alabama College. So much for formalities. I am
Bill Toms and for better or worse, your new sports editor.

Here is a review of last year's sporting events, which, as usual,
combined victories and defeats, but which showed much promise
for the coming year.

Hanging around the edge of the glory and pageantry given to
spectator sports, we find a painfully lonely event known as CROSS-
COUNTRY. Cross-country college competitors run three miles over
natural terrain. Here at A. C, cross-country was the first inter-
collegiate sport. Last year's team won three and lost three.

Team captain and Most Valuable Player (M.V.P.) Sid Mc-
Laughlin led the pack in every race. Following close behind were
freshman Joe Mallory and Junior Murry. Ron Robbins, Luke Nan-
staskis and Perry Pitts rounded out the team. There were no seniors.

The BASKETBALL team's 6-15 record is deceiving. Pitted
against one of the strongest A.C.C. in its basketball history, the
Falcons played surprisingly well. As a young team with potential,
the Falcons sometimes played brilliantly, and at others, displayed
every type of inexperience.

Hot-shooting Henry Ezell, M.V.P. and All-Tournament, and play-
maker Mike Killimet took the guard slots. Both were sophomores.
Co-Captain Marshall Killingsworth was selected as All-Conference
center despite an injury the previous summer resulting in the loss
of three fingers. Marshall was a senior, and the team will miss him.

George Johnson, a former high school All-American, freshman
Bill Roundtree, and hard-driving Mark Riggins were all forwards
and are returning. Big Ralph Butler, 6'8", Wayne Everett, co-cap-
tain, and Dan Nelson also saw much action.

Facing conference teams that lost most of their seniors, the
Falcons could be a surprise this year.

The GOLF team placed third in both conference and tourn-
ament action. They were led by MV.P. Ron Minson to a 9-7-1 rec-
ord. Ron was runner-up in the conference at the number one spot.
Jay Jackson, team captain, will return, along with Carl Drenner,
Frank Franto, and Paul Duran. With plenty of experience, the team
will be tough to beat.

Losing seven games by one run or in extra innings, the BASE-
BALL team's 6-12 record might have easily been reversed. Many
of last year's A.C.C. teams played and defeated S.E.C. teams. The
conference was strong last year.

Led by a young group of men such as Ed Briggs, twice M.V.P.;
Mike Hayes, the team's best pitcher, and James Carter, leading
hitter at .365, the Falcons showed much promise for the future.
With a few breaks and some new talent from the freshman class,
this year's team could be one of the school's best.

A.C.'s winningest team was in TENNIS. Trying to live up to the
21-0 record of the 1966 netters, they ended the season at 10-4. Troy,
the A.C.C. champion, upset the Falcons twice 5-4, and then went
on to edge out A.C. in the conference tournament. Marion, the Dixie
Conference, champion, fell twice to the netmen.
.... Powerhouse Birmingham Southern came down to play, as one
of their players put it, "those country hicks," and was sent home
with a 5-4 loss. Calvin College, from Michigan, broke a 27 game
winning streak of the netters with a 5-4 victory.

Brilliant number one man Donnie Andrews, best ever in the
A.C.C, played to an undefeated season. As captain and team M.V.P.,
Don made all-Tournament in both singles and doubles. Jim Hix, a
freshman sensation, lost only one match in conference and tourna-
ment play. Hix, playing number five, was All-Tournament in singles
and doubles.

Mike Lewanski, number four man, and Bill Toms, the third
man, were selected to the All-Tournament team in doubles. Lewan-
ski, Toms, and Mike Malone, number six man on the net squad,
were all runnners-up at their positions in conference play. Only
Andrews and Ronnie Lewis, number two man, were lost at gradua
tion.

Honor Code week Slated

faculty members will observe
Honor Code Emphasis Week with
a series of special events at the
Montevallo campus Sept. 25-29.

Highlight of the five-day pro-
gram will be a convocation Tues-
day morning, Sept. 26, featuring
Judson College President Dr.
James Edmondson as special
guest speaker. The convocation
program is scheduled for 10 a.m.

Another major event will be a
mock trial to be conducted by

The girls' social clubs, although
newly organized, have been ac-
tive this summer.

The Thetas started their sum-
mer with a house party at Gulf
Shores. It's not clear who they
tangled with the most — the jelly-
fish and sea weed or the men
from University of South Ala-
bama and L.S.U.

After a week in the sun the
girls took up individual activities.
Six members attended the sum-
mer session at A. C, with others
scattered throughout different
schools.

Not all time was devoted to
studies, however; for Alicia Ad-
ams managed to pick up a fra-
ternity pin between classes at
Syracuse. Norma Morris spent
her summer working in St. Au-
gustine. Other Thetas, working
in Birmingham and home towns,
kept the roads hot with their
travels on the weekends.

Back at school, the Thetas are
hard at work preparing for the
coming year — rush plans, social

events and fund raising.

* * *

The Omegas held their house
party in August. For one last
fling before studying began, they

gathered at Panama City,
the Thetas, they experienced
happy mixture of sand, sea <
boys. Both house parties, asU
from the fun, brought the
ters closer together.

The Omegas had several ga-
in summer school at A. C.
scattered representatives to othe
schools. During the summer the
carried on their major projec
the adoption of a child froi
Greece.

The Kappas were busy this
summer with plans for the fa
semester. A pre-inltiation part
at Oak Mountain Park has bee
planned for Sept. 23, to brin
all the sisters together. Sunday
September 24, they will conduc
initiation of pledges in Tutwile
lobby.

Nine members attended A.
summer sessions. Although
arated, the Kappas shared th
common interest in their spon
sorship of a 14-year-old boy
Partlow School in Tuscaloosa.

Freshmen will be included

mester at a street party in thei
honor, to be held in October.

The three social clubs extei
a warm welcome to freshmen.

fore the judicial arm of AC's stu-
dent government.

Honor Code Emphasis Week is
designed primarily to acquaint
new students with the honor sys-
tem adopted by AC students.

The code calls on each student
to "uphold the honor of the col-
lege by refraining from every
form of dishonesty in his college
life, and by doing all in his pow-
er to create a spirit of honesty
and honor on the campus."

Directing activities of the week
will be Mike Malone, honor court
chief justice. The junior political
science major and athletic let-
terman from Birmingham met
earlier this year with judiciary
colleagues of the Southern Uni-

versities Student Government As-
sociation.

He said a study of honor sys-
tems there revealed that the code
employed at AC is "one of the
most uncomplicated yet best
working systems now in use in
the South." He said member in-
stitutions expressed interest in
the AC Honor Code as a pattern
for developing their own honor
programs.

Associate justices of the Honor
Court serving during 1967-68 are:
Billie Bouler, Birmingham; San-
dra Staggs, Bessemer; Peggy Ma-
her, Montevallo; Rick Marshall,
Dothan; William Sumner, Fulton;
Ricky Ray, Guin; and Jane Al-
len, Jasper.

ALABAMA COLLEGE, MONTEVALLO, ALABAMA, OCTOBER 5, 1967

NUMBER 2

)LD THAT LINE — Desperation is in the faces of these freshmen as upperclassmen turn the tide
of the tug of war. Just because they had to turn on the fire hose to do it . . . but since when is
tying an end to a tree fair play? Better luck to next year's rats.

Frosh Picnic
Held At Lake

The S.G.A. officially opened its
series of social events Friday,
September 22, at the annual
Freshman Picnic and Talent
Show. Entertainment was provid-
ed by upperclassmen and fresh-
men from the campus.

The picnic, held at the College
Lake, was made possible through
the cooperation of the Senate
Food Service Committee and
John Talantis of A.R.A. Slater
School and College Services. Af-
ter the meal freshmen engaged
in such contests as the three-
legged race, sack race and hula-
hoop contest. Prizes were donated
by Montevallo merchants.

Entertainment was provided by
Mac Lyell, winner of last year's
talent show, and The Conterbury
Trio. Highlight of the afternoon
was the tug of war between
freshmen and upperclassmen, with
the freshmen losing.

Freshmen brought forth their
best talent in that evening's tal-
ent show, held in Palmer Audi-
torium. The show was taken by
first-prize winner Becky Brown,
speech major from Germany.

Circle K Brings
Jim Allen To A.C.

Circle K, Alabama College's
men's service club, will hold its
third annual blood drive Oct. 17,
announced President Fred Craw-
ford.

required before donation to have
their parents' signature on a re-
lease slip which may be picked
up in dorm offices and brought

the year, is an opportunity for
college men to participate while
on campus in the type of activi-
ties which business and profes-
sional service clubs perform. A
Circle K man is preparing today
for the future when he supports
Projects for campus and commu-
nity betterment.

Circle K is open to any men
students interested in serving
their school and community.
Prospective members may con-
tact Fred Crawford, Bob Rollins
or Paul Brooks in Main Hall,

she shut her mouth in time — decidedly unpleasant place for Rapid Shave.

Lotch Contraband

By Keith Harrelson

If you had happened to happen on the scene in the middle of
the proceedings, you might have thought yourself to be at the site
of the Spring Hill mining disaster. Immediately you would have
sensed the viciousness in the air, similar to that of Nazi persecu-
tion of the Jews at Treblinka. And you might have noticed, with
your own shocked eyes, the frightening thoroughness of a Mexican
firing squad.

But then you might have recognized the infamous Chastaine
manning the fire extinguisher, facing what seemed to be a rousing
insurrection of flour-choked Green Berets. And there was an em-
barrassed Tonto, trying discreetly but frantically to rid his eyes of
the omnipresent white dust. Dixie Dahlin' would have come bust-
ing through the ring of guffawing people, covered with shaving
cream, clutching the tatters of what appeared to be a diaper, and
waving a paper napkin. A desperate rooster call would resound
through the trees punctually, followed by the incorrect time and
an insidious remark.

You would have learned that Bobbie Herlong had refused
to change britches with the Big Red One because she enjoyed
being a girl too much. And if you had stayed around after the up-
perclassmen had been chased from the area by the revenge-crazed
frosh, you could have asked King Bobo how he liked being crown-
ed with chocolate syrup.

However, as a result of this annual action by the upperclass-
men, the frosh have formed, as they always do, a sort of under-
ground movement, the purpose of which is to perpetually harass
and heckle said upperclassmen for the rest of this term. This year's
movement seems to be a bit more organized than those of previous
years, and all sophomores, juniors, and seniors might do well to
take note of this bit of composition that leaked out of a suspected
Propaganda Department:

Wee Willie Winkie, we saw the flour fly,
Stick it on your pinkie, Judges Gonna Die!

Love for the freshmen is our common link,
Always remember that UPPERCLASSMEN STINK!

The Great Society

By Margo Stephenson
Social Editor

Well, Freshmen, you have finally joined the human race here
at A.C. Of course, you paid dearly for it. Are you sure that wear-
ing diapers to the Dari-D and being a toilet paper clock was worth
it? Now, if you did not develop penumonia after Thursday night,
imaybe you can start to live a little.

Yes, we have been a busy little campus. Aside from the rat-
ting, it seems that the party season has started; or should I say
ended? I guess it depends on whose party you've been to lately —
or do you remember? Well, the hostesses remember— how could
they forget that fated Saturday night?

Say, does anyone remember the gigantic campus "riot" involv-
ing Hanson, Ramsay, and Tut last year when the seniors marched?
Well, the other night it looked like a feeble attempt to institute
that ole college spirit. Lights blinked, voices were heard in the
night, and of course the College Cop appeared. Naturally, he nipped
tbe disturbance in the bud.

If you're wondering how he got there just in the nick of time,
well, it's because the school sent our trusty police force to Detroit
this summer for riot training. Beware, students, the administration
is ready for everything and anything this year.

Speaking of spirit (the unknown word here until recently), I
witnessed some Wednesday night at the Step Sing in Palmer. There
was actually enthusiasm when the new fight song was sung. You
would have thought someone had just announced that Shelby Coun-
ty had gone wet or that the Good Fairy of the North had turned
Main into the Hawaiian Hilton.

This new found spirit seems to be affecting everyone, and it"s
a cinch we could use some. Let yourself go— you might find that
it's sort of fun.

Smash The Suitcase Syndrome

By Carol Weir

A number of reasons have been advanced for
the fact that extracurricular activities generally
suffer at A. C. Everyone has a good one, rangi-
ing from the fanatical studying going on (not
borne out, we fear, by many sky-high g.p.a.'s) to
the fact that the Suitcase Syndrome reaches epi-
demic proportions every Friday.

The latter hits closer to the truth. The exodus
will begin this Friday, and approximately three-
fourths of the campus will have copped out again
on chances for a fulfilling college experience.

But why does everyone head out? The hue and
cry of the weekend commuters is, "There's noth-
ing to do." And they have a point.

There should have been a dance every week-
end since school opened. Now is the time when
students should be encouraged to spend their
weekends on campus, because the habit of going
home in search of recreation is a hard one to
break.

Students should not deprive themselves in go-
ing home on weekends of being fully integrated
into campus life, nor should they deprive their

fast-growing school of talents and abilities they
possess. There is a place for everyone's talents
and interests at A.C. One such place, which can
be seen without moving from this desk in the
Tower, is the newspaper.

For a campus which has an enrollment of ap.
proximately 2400 there should be a weekly news,
paper. The amount of news justifies weekly puh.
lication; but a staff is hard to find. The brave
attempts of last year's editor to put out a weekly
paper ended in suspension of publication in early
spring, with senators unwilling to finance addi-
tional papers when funds ran out. Student in.
terest could have forced a reconsideration of
budget allocations in the Senate, which is more
than willing to listen to student opinions. But
indifference prevailed.

And there are other extracurricular activities
and organizations that could echo the publics,
tions' need for participation. So let's cure A.C.
of the Suitcase Syndrome and turn out first-rate
graduates who know the joy of serving their
campus.

On Vietnam

Johnson's Actions Criticized

By David

President Johnson has set the law down to the
world thru the citizens of the United States
in hopes of going out in a blaze of glory. In this
last-chance try, he hopes to have people say that
perhaps Johnson wasn't so wishy-washy after all,
that in the end he showed his true spirit. John-
son has succumbed to the pattern of other poli-
ticians. He has forgotten that in his leadership
he is the voice of the majority. He is on our
side — well, he is supposed to be.

As if they were naughty children embarrassing
their parents, the citizens are being told that
they don't know what is good for them — they
even get an ultimatum — either pay now, or pay

Senate Begins
To Take Action

By Randy McDonald

At the request of the Alabamian
editor I have decided to continue
with this article on Senate news
and hopefully, to make it informa-
tive and unbiased. I also hope it
will be an added service of both
the Alabamian and myself, as
your Senator.

This article will complement
the S. G. A. Senate Bulletin
which will be published and dis-
tributed campus-wide. I urge you
to read these bulletins regularly
for they will probably be more
concise than my attempts to
break into the literary world.

The third meeting of the Ala-
bama College Senate was held
Sept. 28 in the Audio-Visual
Room of the S.U.B. The roll was
called at 6 p.m. with the follow-
ing persons absent: Renee Joseph,
Chuck King, John Shivers, Mel
Chichinni, Nancy McCullan, and
Gladys Frost.

The first point of business was
the appropriation of $50 to the
Elite Night Committee, in addi-
tion to their previous allotment.

Treasurer Wayne Burdette ex-
plained the 1967-68 budget. This
year, the S.G.A. is allotted $25,-
000, as compared with last year's
budget of $25,480. The budget is
similar to last year's with some
small changes. The Social Com-
mittee received $8,150; the Ala-
bamian, $2,775.

The budget was approved unan-
imously as read.

General announcements of im-
portance included the publication
of the Senate Newsletter. The
present policy regarting "cuts"
will be kept this year, it was an-
nounced. Regulations regarding
cafeteria smoking and "proper
attire" will be enforced.

Election of class favorites and
beauties will be Oct. 11 in the
cafeteria. Cheerleader elections
will be held at 10 a.m., Oct. 24,
in Palmer Auditorium. Amend-
ments for ratification or denial
will be presented to the student
body at that time also.

By Randy Troup
Renovation: Chop Down The Wistaria!

In the catalog the capacities of the campus dormitories are .
ed formally and officially— and very euphemistically! The tuition
also listed there, and it is paid to the penny— (but what one receh
in turn is quite different from that represented in the catalog. F-
instance, I am sure that in Tut there are more than the 102 girls
accorded by the catalog. Napier and Fuller Halls have rooms ob-
viously built for two people and no more. To put three people in
those rooms simply incurs crowded and necessarily rather unat
tractive living conditions.

The president has said that those crowded, or otherwise
pered, rooms should be "considered only as places to sleep." ,
seems, practically speaking, nothing more than an acknowledg-
ment that the housing is inadequate. Therefore, there can be no
legitimate excuse at all. Enrollment should merely have been stop-
ped when a decent limit was reached! Maybe there is a reason,
though it cannot be an excuse. I dare say that the crowding has
been allowed in order to dramatize the need for dormitories. We
have been foolish enough to accept such standards— so it is also our
fault.

But, then, the notices of the bad situations have come rather
late. When I first came here, I received word (in the form letter)
quite late that rooms would be crowded. And this fall's pre-school
greeting came only three weeks before school. Bluntly, it was too
late for us to do anything else— and we can't live in apartments.

What will the situation be when this round of work is done?
The SUB is already generally crowded much of the time— and all
of the doors seem to be in the wrong places. Main, as a whole,
has stood for fifty years— and now all at once it is torn up.

Actually, I'm getting along fine in Main— others may not be.

The next question is: "Why expand AC so much?" Certainly the
existing buildings should be kept up— and they haven't been, to a
great degree. But why cram the dorms to the point that it is ab-
solutely necessary to build new dorms (and in the meantime suf-
fer)? Evidently someone is trying to sell college. I do not thin*
a large college is necessarily better— that's why I came here in the
first place. In all fairness, larger colleges do have their advantages-
But there is personality at AC— or there can be— and that is what I
am concerned with. Is the chance for real communication or are
large accommodations more important? Simplifying things, I say the
two oppose each other.

I do not believe that a great many cold sterile new buildings
will do any good at all. Certainly they won't, when people are not
given proper consideration— and that is what education is supposed
to teach!

I suppose that Wills Hall— "What building is that?"— will soon
be sterilized, have its arching windows chopped in two for another
floor; the patterned beams have cheap ceiling tile stapled to the

I hope that I have shown that I regret that I may not ha
gotten my money's worth; and, more importantly, that "those
charge" in so doing, have shown perhaps more concern for bull
ings than people.

Students, both boys and girls, will now have the opportunity
participate in the up-and-coming, sport of gymnastics on A.C.
campus. Sessions in Bibb Graves or Geneva Myrick halls will be
held every Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday with the benefit of new
gymnastic equipment and instruction from Miss Freddie Malone,
new faculty member. Miss Malone, sponsor of the activities, notes
that approximately thirty people are participating already.

The major purpose of the practice sessions is to introduce be-
ginning and advanced gymnastics to A.C. students.

It is also hoped that through this activity gymnastics may be
presented to the local schools. There are hopes too, that eventually
a gymnastics club may be formed.

Men and women students may receive instruction and prac-
tice on the trampoline, mini-trampoline, and also in floor exercise,
vaulting and tumbling. Additional instruction will be given to
women participants on the balance bean and uneven bars, and to
men participants in the parallel bars, horizontal bars, long horse,
and side horse.

We will see some of these activities in action during a demon-
stration by the participants of these practice sessions during the
half-time of our first home backetball game.

Everyone even slightly interested in gymnastics is invited to
attend the sessions. Gymnastics is a sport which you will be hear-
ing a lot about, so take this opportunity to learn something about
It— and participate!

Volleyball
Intramurals
Move Along

by Ann Smith
Women's Sports Editor

The sounds of the refree's whis-
tle, calls of "point", "side-out",
"time", "rotate" and the happy
sounds of laughter echo down the
corriders of Geneva Myrick Hall
these days, as inside the gymna-
sium volley ball intramurals take
the lead position in the line-up of
women's intramural sports this
fall.

Over eighty girls composing se-
ven teams meet each day from
four to five o'clock to join in the
fun and competition of women's
volleyball. The freshman class
alone has three competing teams,
the sophomores have two teams
and the juniors and seniors each
have one team each.

Official round robin competition
begins Wednesday, October 4.
Then the girls will really get an
idea of how the other team's abi-
lity, because everyone will get
down to the business of winning.

But the best volleyball is yet to
come. The double elimination
tournament begins October 23. In
the double elimination tourna-
ment, the tension and excitement
of intramurals really begins to
build for these are the finai
games; spirits really soar as the
teams move toward the champion-
ship.

The freshmen have won volley-
ball intramurals for several years
now, but who knows . . . those for-
mer freshmen are now upper-
classmen with a little more expe-
riance and lets hope a little more
knowledge of the game, so only
time will tell who this year's win-
ner will be. But we should have
some good competition in any
case.

Although volleyball is in full
swing, it is not the only activity
under way. Tennis intramurals
begin this week and we should
have some very interesting, if not
exciting, competition on the new
courts very soon.

You golfers still have a few
days to practice since golf intra-
murals do not begin until October
21. If you are Interested in play-
ing and have not yet signed up
you can see Nellie Nannini or
Joyce Ann Jackson to do so or
get additional information about
the tournament.

The Battle Rages

By Bill Toms
Sports Editor

"Survival of the fittest" is an ambiguous term. This is as true
in sports as it is in evolution, for in sports too, change is the only
constant. Coaches come and go, teams disintegrate, winning streaks
end (37-37 disgusting), and some sports even disappear.

Survival in sports is a battle for popularity. An example is here
at A.C., cross-country. While cross-country is at new height of popu-
larity in some parts of the country, it lost the fight for survival at
A.C We do not have a cross-country team this year.

In 1960 intercollegiate cross-country was initiated at Alabama
College. In 1964 the team compiled its best record, 6-1.

Cross-country is a simple sport. Its struggle is not for popu-
larity; it is for victory — victory over your opponent, victory over
time, victory over yourself. The object is simple: run 3 miles over
natural terrain as fast as you can. But the life of the sport depends
on how many boys in a school have the courage to participate in it.

In the past, A.C. has had some outstanding runners. Roger
Singleton, Amos Dean, Sidney McLaughlin, and Eddie Potts could
all run the 3 imile course in less than 15 minutes. But a few will
not make up for the lack of many; not in athletics.

In a talk with Coach Joe Ruffner, I discovered that cross-coun-
try was discontinued in hopes of starting a soccer team in the near
future. Coach Ruffner said he hated to see cross-country go, but
with no more expression of student interest, it was not possible.

Plans for soccer did not materialize this fall, but the P.E. de-
partment hopes to have a team in the near future. At present, only
two soccer teams are active in this area; the teams, Indian Springs
and Marion, are both high schools. However, Coach Ruffner in-
formed me that a number of state colleges were also planning to
field soccer teams in the near future.

If soccer does come to A.C, the battle for survival will begin
anew. After a season of professional soccer interest, in the sport is
spreading. When soccer comes here its survival will depend upon
you, the students. It needs 30 men to survive. Cross-country only
needed 5 or 6. If soccer comes it will be up to us to decide its fu-
ture. I think it will survive.

members were initiated into the
fraternity.

Among those on the installation
team were Mr. William F. Wein-
heimer, National President of A.
K. Psi; chapter presidents of the
University of Alabama, Samford,
and Birmingham Southern and
advisors of a number of other
chapters in surrounding states.

Alpha Kappa Psi is a national
professional business fraternity
designed to further the individual
welfare of its members by con-
ducting professional meetings
with noted businessmen and to
foster scientific research in the
fields of commerce, accounts, and
finance. The fraternity also has
as one of its objectives the desire
to help the community by per-
forming worthwhile service proj-
ects.

Officers of the fraternity are
president, Mike Hayes; secretary,
president, Robin Mangum; vice
Larry Glass; treasurer, Milton
Snasel; and master of rituals,
Larry Pharo.

Greek tragedy which will be pre-
sented in Palmer Hall, Nov. 2
and 3, at 8:15.

Oedipus the King, though writ-
ten by Sophocles in the Fifth Cen-
tury B.C., is still ranked as one
of the world's greatest plays. The
role of Oedipus ranks with Ham-
let as one of the most demanding
of the theatre.

recent Alabama College produc-
tions. Admission is presentation
of I.D. cards.

Miss Talford, who is Mrs. Phil-
lip McLaughlin of Birmingham in
private life, is a teacher of
cnarm at Samford University and
has taught in other Alabama col-
leges. Her former students have
taken the Miss Alabama title, and
she has coached Alabama's Maid
of Cotton for the last seven years.
One of her Cotton Maids, Miss
Katy Sue Meredith, a former A.C.
student, won the national title.

A model herself, Mrs. McLaugh-
lin showed in her first lecture
tricks for touchy situations like
getting in and out of a car grace-
fully, ascending and descending
stairs, and what to do with the
hands.

In her next three lectures, open
to A.C. women upon presentation
of I.D. cards, she will discuss
other basic modeling and social
graces which make one attractive,
and will take up wardrobing, fig-
ure analysis, and color coordina-
tion.

The lectures will be from 4 to
5 p.m. on Mondays, October 23,
November 7, and November 13.

A.C. Professor
Publishes Book

Dr. James F. L. Connell, Pro-
fessor of Geology at Alabama
College, recently completed a
publication entitled "Surface Ge-
ology of Alabama College and
Environs," of to used in all ge-
ology courses taught on campus.

Dr. ConnelPs latest work dis-
cusses the stratigraphy, structure,
paleontology, physiography, and
drainage encompassing an area
from Aldrich eastward to Hollo-
way Hill.

Three formations of Cambrian
age— the Rome shale, Conasauga
limestone, and Brierfield dolo-
mite—underlie the campus from
the College Lake to Napier Hall.
All three are tilted at high angles
due to a tight folding, which was
initiated during the Appalachian
Revolution that closed the Per-
mian Period. The post-orogenic
history of the campus involved
several short episodes of crustal
unrest and a number of long ero-
sion sycles, which have resulted
in the existing topography.

New Record Set
At Blood Drive

Long lines, quavering smiles,
well-concealed nausea ... no,
not the cafeteria but Circle K's
Blood Drive for Red Cross.

People who had already given
cracked jokes with those who were
waiting. One young man was seen
leaning heavily on a pretty
nurse's assistant and winking as
he left for orange juice and
cookies.

But for all the horseplay, there
was a seriousness of purpose at
Bibb Graves Hall, the temporary
donation center. Students filed in
continuously to take their places
on one of the dozen tables. As
the first college campus in the
nation to undertake a blood drive
for Vietnam casualties, A.C. con-
tinued to do its share.

Beating the previous two years'
donations by a substantial mar-
gin, A.C. chalked up a 30.5%
participation Tuesday. Although a
record amount for A.C, it fell
short of the 35% goal set to beat
Auburn's 1966 record of 34%.

A total of 446 pints of blood
were donated; but Circle K Pres-
ident Fred Crawford said that
120 persons were turned away
for medical reasons.

Freshmen women seemed to be
the strongest participators in the
drive with 53.3% of Fuller Hall
and 35.7% of Napier Hall contrib-
uting. Main Hall followed with
34.2%, Ramsay with 30%, Hanson
with 20%. Tutwiler Hall trailed
with 19.5%.

In recognition of Circle K's out-
standing work in organizing and
running the drive the following
resolution was enacted last week
by the college Board of Trustees:

WHEREAS, the Circle K Club
at Alabama College took the ini-
tiative in organizing Alabama
College students for mass pre-
sentation of blood for use by the
armed forces of the United States,
and

WHEREAS, this achievement on
the part of Circle K and Ala-
bama College students was the
first such organized blood drive
in the colleges and universities
of the country, and

WHEREAS, Circle K has con-
tinued its leadership in organiz-
ing Alabama College students for
blood drives for a period of two
years and has announced plans
for the third consecutive year,
and

WHEREAS, Circle K efforts and
Alabama College student response
have contributed significantly to-
ward helping the Birmingham
Area of the American National
Red Cross to contribute more
blood to our armed formes than
any other area in the United
States; now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED, by the Board of
Trustees of Alabama College that
special commendation be express-
ed to Circle K Club for its ef-
forts in organizing an annual
blood drive for the armed forces
of the United States; and be it
further

RESOLVED, That this resolu-
tion be recorded in the minutes
of the Board of Trustees and
copies be given to Circle K Club
and to The Alabamian, the stu-
dent newspaper at Alabama Col-
lege.

Circle K President Crawford
thanks the campus for their sup-
port and gives special recogni-
tion to the women students who
worked a tthe donation center.

Then You'd Better Not Let ME Say Anything!

The "Speaker Ban Bill" was killed this summer when the presi
dents of Alabama College and the Universities of South Alabama
Alabama, and Auburn wrote the Senate Education Committee that
they would not invite communists to speak on their campuses.

The bill would have prohibited known communists from speak-
ing at state schools, as well as those who have advocated overthrow
of the government or have "pled the Fifth Amendment." It was the
third time attempts had been made to pass such a bill.

George Wallace originally brought up the bill while ho was
governor, but despite the full force of his office, the bill was not
passed. I dare say that Mr. Wallace's action was intended as one of
his familiar ingratiating stabs at all-bad scapegoats— that time the
evil communists. However, the bill did not prove so unanimously
popular; it was a rather ineffective stab.

It was the same bill that was considered this summer, under
the sponsorship of State Senator Leland Childs. The bill presumed
that "the communists were coming!" — that it would take quick legis-
lative action to keep them out of our colleges. The presumption was
that the college officials are not to be trusted — that they do not
have the common sense to control their affairs.

On the level of principle, the bill denied freedom of speech.
The bill even forbade speakers because they had exercised their
freedom to speak or not to speak by taking the Fifth Amendment.

On the practical level the bill was worthless— it was just a do-
gooding swipe for the sake of appearance. Reason was thrown out,
and the principle of the matter was not even acknowledged.

The educators were forced to compromise in the interests of
their schools. They could not actively oppose the bill.

It might be said, then, that it's bad for "education" to be run
by the state. Evidently it is bad! The legislature ought to have
worried about whether our education teaches us to deal with the
"communists" rationally. It should have worried about whether we
are taught to evaluate such situations; not to have assumed that
their mere presence is a threat. Their bill would have protected our
freedom by taking it away from us.

The "Speaker Ban Bill" was an asinine bill to begin with. I
suppose there has never been a "communist" speaker at those col-
leges mentioned, and it would be (again) quite presumptuous (and
quite remarkable! i to expect any in the future.

Although the bill would never have had much, or any, practical
effect; the fact that it was ever considered does give it the pur-
pose of standing as a rather serious indictment of our state. It
stands as an insult to me, as a student — as a shame to me, as an
Alabamian. Should I go so far as to say that, as one among such
humans, it is a downright disgrace?

The Great Society

Did anyone detect a little hostility in an artiele by a disillu-
sioned freshman in the last issue? Can it be that the freshmen re-
sent the guiding hand of us upperclassmen? Well, don't be fooled
by the lull, freshmen. The senior women are still to march, and
they have quite an underground of their own. This bit of a compo-
sition leaked out of their Propaganda Department:

Wee Wilile Winkie, you saw the flour fly,

Stick it on your pinkie, you're doomed, oh me, oh my.

Love for the freshmen? What you want to bet?

Always remember — you ain't seen nothing yet!

Women's Rush has started, and if you haven't noticed, there are
several ways to tell a "social club girl". When they gather in groups
of two or more, they will adorn themselves in blue or whatever
other color is their color. They look sort of like the Bobbsey Twins
en masse. Then, of course, there is the array of pins attached. At
least three must be worn, so that you can be thoroughly confused
at which is what and what goes where. This adds mystery to the
group. But I don't advise the boys to spend too much time trying
to sort out the mystery. . . . For all their pins and pomp, the so-
cial clubs are an asset to the campus.

Now a word of caution to the unknown explorer who attempted
to scale Mount Tut Thursday night. Next time we'll be ready!

Revise Freshman Bible

Good Riddance To Ridiculous Rules

By Carol Weir

During the recent ratting period an annual ab-
surdity was observed — namely, the futile demand
of upperclassmen that freshmen learn The Fledg-
ling verbatim. It is fortunate for the freshmen
this is all in good fun, because the Compleat
Rules boggles the mind.

As one professor wryly comments, "There's a
rule for every conceivable situation. One need
never think — just consult The Fledgling."' And the
lists seems to increase.

Perhaps the key word in the professor's re-
mark was the word think. There is a certain
irony in the fact that the student is encouraged
and expected to think in the classroom but vir-
tually forbidden to do so in private concerns.
While rules are, of course, necessary for the pro-
tection of the many in a communal living ar-
rangement like the college campus, one wonders
what happens to the individual's right to exercise
judgment of conduct. He might need a little judg-
ment after graduation, after all, when a benevo-
lent Fledgling cannot be counted upon to assure
fair play from all members of society.

Surely there are some on campus so confident
as to consider eighteen-and-above persons able to
conduct themselves as adults. If so, they are
strangely silent — is it because they train for good
citizenship by quietly learning to ignore the rules?
This would seem to be the case, since it is ob-
vious that certain of the rules are unenforceable
anyway. And expecting a student to abide on his
honor by rules not even required by parents is a
little too much confidence to justify some rules.

A case in point is rules concerning women stu-
dents. Here is fun for the freshman woman du-
ring ratting— but the real fun comes when she
must use the rules, particularly those regarding
leaving on weekends. There is a letter or special
permission to be obtained in virtually every case
but going home. We contend that while the mod-
ern postal system is truly efficient, it cannot

Whole Man
Gets Lost

work miracles. Acceptance of an invitation
tended by a friend on another campus in a
sonable length of time can be touch-and-go,
pecially if the person on the other end is
familiar with the communications that must pi
before "special permission" is obtained. He mi
get the official machinery going at about
same time the invitation is extended. Last-mini
visits are, of course, out of the question; ti
phone permission is accepted reluctantly, if
all. What does the puzzled coed do? Ask anyoi

Then there is attire for women students. They
are magnanimously permitted, according to The
Fledgling, to wear slacks — even in the coldest
weather— on Saturdays and to sporting events,
hikes, and picnics. I wonder how many freshmen
and upperclass women would reply, if queried
about their attire, that they had hiked to the
SUB for a picnic after a hard evening of study?
That would take some fast thinking.

But the fellows should not be disregarded in
a short discussion of rules enforcement. One
young man assures us that as he pulled to the
side of the road one evening to check out a
strange noise in the engine, his freshman date
became panicky because the Book stipulates
there should be no stopping while riding outside
corporate limits of a town — all three blocks of it
This is an extreme example, perhaps open to
more than one interpretation, but it makes the
point that surely no human being could graduate
without having broken at least one rule, whether
it be an enforceable one or not.

A more realistic approach to rules should be
considered and acted upon. A study of The Fledg-
ling would yield certain rules that serve no pur-
pose and would never be missed . . . Southern
Womanhood would not be undermined and no
great wave of hedonism would engulf the campus.
Action by the Senate, if that group is to be
elected for more than popularity and to act as
more than a token of student responsibility, is
necessary.

Old As Confucius

Some 25 years ago the Ch
ese philosopher Confucius sa
this:

By B. J. Phillips

(Reprinted from The
Atlanta Journal-Constitution

ATHENS, GA.— If there is one
thing I am looking forward to,
it is filling out my first job ap-
plication after graduation. The
reason it's going to be such fun
is that when I come to the blank
that says "List languages you
can speak and/or write" I'm go-
ing to have a field day.

I'll get to list political science,
sociology, psychology, economics,
education, history, etc., etc., un-
til I finish the list of all the
academic departments and fields
of study that I've encountered in-
four years of college.

It isn't funny. In order to suc-
ceed in a given course, you've got
to speak the language, the jar-
gon. You've got to learn that "a
conceptual understanding" in poli-
tical science is "an overview" in
education. Those are the same
things as "knowledge of the his-
torical tendecies," but don't try
to slip one department's termin-
ology in on another's test. That
proves that you . have "failed to
grasp the significant facts and
understand the basic assump-
tions."

My question is why? I will ad-
mit that specialization inevitably
produces a certain amount of
esoteric information. I doubt that
these extremes are necessary.

But the thing that really both-
ers me is that all this jargon-
ism is symptomatic of a bigger,
more serious problem— the divi-
sive nature of education today.

Sociologists explain man with-
in the context of his social or-
ganizations; the political scient-
ist seeks to define his life in
terms of government. The econ-
omist tells us that it is money,
goods, and trade that make him
behave as he does.

All of this is fine. But what
happened to the whole man? He
got lost somewhere in the shuffle
and they forget to tell us what

he is like, or should be like
when he's all put together. The
separate aspects of him should
not be stressed at the expense of
the whole.

After all, bees have a distinct
social organization, but a bee has
never composed a symphony.
Seals have a form of government
—the strongest bull gets the girl,
not at all unlike power politics.
But Shakespeare was not a seal.

Perhaps we would do well to
get together on the words again
and ask "What is man, that
Thou art mindful of him?"

"There are those, teacher
student alike, who bemoan
times as lost . . .

Lotch Contraband Aelta details

By Keith Harrelson

Betty and I thought we'd go see A.C.'s new falcon right after
lunch last Thursday, because we'd heard so much about him and
his name (what is his name?); besides, Betty said she thought she
could get him to talk. So after we finished at Anna's (that's Anna's
Eats, Anna and Irvin Hall, Proprietors*), we ambled on over to
the elegant chicken-wire cage that graces the back yard of Bloch
Hall.

"Hey — where is he?"

"His name's Ace, and that's him on the ground eating a — ook!
He's eating a bird."

"Ook — look at the feathers."

"Yeah, ook. Wonder if he's enjoying it. You enjoying it, bird?"

"Ace," interjects Betty.

"Oh. You enjoying it, Ace?"

"Yah." (This from Ace.)

(Silence.)

"He talked! Hey, Betty, he talked!"
"Yah." (This from Betty.)

"Izzat all he can say, though? Hey, bird . . . Ace . . . Izzat
all you can say, is just plain ol' 'Yah'?"
"Yah."

"Hmmmmm. Make him say something else, Betty."
"I don't think he's got the strength. Look how little he is, even
for five months old."

"I been sick." (This from Ace.)

"Well, you can talk. How 'bout . . . Ace wanna cracker?"
"Now, Ace don't want no cracker, dumbo," says Ace. "Ace
wanna heating unit like all those layin' around Main Lobby. Ace
ain't happy with the thermostat in his present abode."
"How do you find the life of A.C.'s first mascot?"
"Hah?"

"How ya like being mascot?"

"Oh. Oh, yeah. I got the spirit of the school. Also I got ulcers,
worms, and molting tailfeathers. But I got the spirit of the school,
and that's important."

"We got to go, Ace."

"Naw, don't. Keep standing there — you're keeping the wind
off me."

"What awful manners you got, Ace. You're smacking."

As he cocked his head to one side and regarded us with one
onky black eye, he croaked what seemed to be an obscenity. Then
he added thickly, "Be missing," and went back disgustedly to his
frugal repast.

And soon we were missing, determined to come beak someday
and catch him in a less cranky mood.

With formal initiation of Blay
Ruzie, Alan Couch, Russ Hendon
and Steve Quinn completed, the
Deltas, true to their motto In
Medias Res, are participating in
a full slate of activities for the
month of October.

On the sports scene, the Del-
tas and Third Ramsay, led by
Jack Hopping, have compiled a
1-0-2 record in intramural foot-
ball. The team appears to be a
strong contender for the play-offs
and have their sights on a second
football chmapionship.

Friday the Thirteenth, however,
was an unlucky night for the Del-
tas, as they were defeated 34-28
in an exciting overtime finish.
Faculty stars Leon Davis, Dean
James Wilkinson, Coaches Ruff-
ner and ..Fleming were pitted
against the Delta team. Making up
the Delta team were such per-
sonages as: "Daddy Jack" Hop-
ping, "Quack-man" Ruzie, "Here"
Hendon, "Dudley" Durel, Alan

'Cooch", Stevie "Qunich", "Pyg-
my" Schmidt, "Shifty" Shivers,
and "Goony" Chastain, announc-
er. As an added attraction the
Deltas were encouraged by a
troupe of "lovely" cheerleaders.

The Deltas held their Delta-
Faculty Auction October 16, with
all proceeds going to Drives
Week. They would like to thank
students and faculty for their
participation.

Rounding out October activities,
Deltas are preparing with other
social clubs for fall rush week,

under the sponsorship of Dr.
Besse Terry, shows evidence of
being a necessary organization
for those on campus interested
in understanding and broadening
their knowledge of world affairs

The club, at its first meeting
of the year, offered the opportu-
nity to hear an informative talk
on Cuba. The talk, given by Cu-
ban-born Dr. Angela Hernandez,
related to the club the atrocities
which take place in Cuba today.
Dr. Hernaindez informed the club
that Cuba possesses the missiles
which JFK attempted to keep
from the island with his quaran-
tine in 1962. She further stated
that the warheads on these mis-
siles were as powerful as any it
existence.

Troy Eyes ACQ Championship

By Steve Berry

Football season is half over
and it looks as if Troy is going
to run away with the Alabama
Collegiate Conference Champion-
ship. The greatly improved Red
Wave clenched at least a tie for
the championship last Saturday
night by trouncing their only real
contender, Jacksonville State, by
46-0.

However, it is not over yet. A
loss to the stubborn Lions of
Florence could open things up
for aan unpredictable playoff. Add
a little health to the battered and
bruied J ax State Gamecocks and
a little efficiency to the mistake-
prone Florence Lions ( 3 inter-
cepted passes and a fumble in a
27-21 defeat to Henderson) and
Troy State will have two formid-
able competitors for the excite-
ment.

Billy Atkins' Troy State Red
Wave is a much improved team
over last year. Atkins, a former
Auburn star, took the reins last
season and fashioned the Red
Wave into an outstanding football
'earn.

"Offensively, Troy has a better
funning game than it had a year
'"So," Jim Blevins explained to
'be Birmingham News. "Defen-
sively . . . Troy manhandles peo-
We," Blevins went on. "They
w hipped Delta State physically,
an d that takes some doing."

Presently Troy is the holder of
* 2-0 conference record and a 5-1
overall record, including key wins
0v er Samford University and Del-
ta State of Cleveland, Miss. Troy
Plays a very important game
*8ainst conference foe Florence
«ate next Saturday in Troy.
Florence plans to make Troy

fight for the championship. Under
the quarterbacking of talented
Don Cornelius the never-give-up
Lions could stage an upset. Cor-
nelius led the Lions as they war-
red A.C.C. for Livingston State
28-7. In their heartbreaking loss
to Mississippi College, Cornelius
scored three touchdowns and
passed for a two point conver-
sion. If the Lions learn to con-
trol their mistakes, they could
provide Troy with formidable
competition next Saturday.

Jax State's hopes of winning
the Alabama Collegiate Confer-
ence championship were dampen-
ed in a Red Wave last Saturday
night in their humiliating 46-0
loss to Troy State. The loss was
the first defeat at the hands of
Troy since 1953 and the worst
beating since 1958. The Game-
cocks promise a better game next
week at Newberry, South Caro-
lina, when the other half of their
starting line-up returns from the
injured list. Jacksonville is now
1-1 in conference play and 1-4
overall.

The freshmen-dominated Living-
ston State Tigers, losers of their
first 3 games, including 2 con-
ference losses, have shown some
signs of seasoning and great po-
tential in their last 2 games. Two
weeks ago against Louisiana Col-
lege, quarterback Ferril Grimes
hit 12 of 19 passes for 100 yards
and Don Page displayed some ex-
cellent running ability with a 50
yard punt return and a 75 yard
touchdown punt return.

Last Saturday the youngsters
rolled up 330 yards offense and
allowed the Tennesseans of Mar-
ville College only 120 yards as
they posted their second win
against three defeats.

Competition
Grows Keen In
Intramural Grid

By Jim Cole

Intramural football is well un-
der way after two weeks of tight
competition. Though no winner
can be picked as yet, standings
indicate a strong team in the
Meisters with a four and one
record. They show a good pass-
ing offense in the arm of James
Carter and offensive ends Ed
Briggs and Larry Patterson. Un-
defeated for their first four
games, the Meisters were upset
last Thursday by the Commuters,
12-0.

Commuters have yet to lose a
game. Although tied by 3rd Ram-
say, they have shown their ex-
perience in all their games. Jim
Birdsong and Danny Loftin have
proven themselves both as defen-
sive halfbacks and able offensive
backs.

Third Ramsay, also undefeated,
is a strong team, to be respected.
They have an all around offen-
sive attack. It is too early, how-
ever, to tell if it will hold up.

Other teams that could break
through are 4th Central and Sig-
mas. The play-off tournament
schedules only the top four teams
in the league. So with only two
weeks left in the schedule, the
competition should get rougher.

Good Sports,
Good Hypocrites

By Bill Toms
Sports Editor

Sportsmanship is something I don't like to talk about. It is not
that I'm not a good sport or anything; it's just that too much is
said on the subject and too little is put to practice.

Personally, I like (love) to win. Sportsmanship is developed
best by winning. I always feel more like shaking my opponent's
han after I've beaten him; it's natural. But let's face facts — few of
us always win. And I for one hate losing. But sportsmanship to
me is not a way of feeling; it's not what you want to do, it's what
you do. Good sports are good hypocrites.

At Alabama College we have had little problem on the inter-
collegiate level concerning sportsmanship. I believe we have main-
tained an acceptable way of behaving at sporting events at almost
all times. In intramurals it's a little different. I can remember
when every intramural football game resembled a gang rumble in
Harlem. There was a fight every time, with all manner of self-
styled judo employed. It's much better now with only occasional
outbursts of bad tempers. Not that all the hate is gone; you can
see it in their eyes every play, but they have learned how to be-
have.

That to me is sportsmanship; it is a way of behaving with
courtesy toward your opponent even though you would love to beat
him.

Sportsmanship for spectators is no different; it's still the way
you act, not how you feel that counts. Crowds are there to cheer,
even boo sometimes, but incidents of bad sportsmanship are in-
excusable.

As I have said, I don't like to talk about sportsmanship. But
editors will be editors, and that was my topic for the week. So if
you can translate my nebulous intrafusements of profundity, and
tolerate my propensity to utter phlegmatically on matters of phe-
nomenal importance, the point is, act like a good sport whether
you are or not.

Volleyball Tourney Slated

By Ann Smith
Ladies Sports Editor

The Alabama College physical education department will be
hostess to 200 high school girls participating in the final games of
a five district volleyball tournament Saturday, November 18. The
single elimination tournament will be officiated by junior and sen-
ior physical education majors and minors who have their D.G.W.S.
ratings. It should prove to be very exciting and enjoyable for all
concerned.

As for our own volleyball intramurals they're still in full swing
and getting more exciting every day as the double elimination
tournament draws closer.

Tennis intramurals are finally getting underway, now that the
courts are ready. Thirty-two people are entered in the tournament
and it looks as though we're going to have some very interesting
matches.

As a reminder to those of you who have forgotten, golf intra-
murals will be held Saturday, October 21.

MRS. CHARLOTTE BLACKMON

Mrs. Blackmon Advises:
Students, Hang Loose

by Ronnie Wilder

One of the "brightly shining
stars" in Alabama College's Eng-
lish Department is Mrs. Char-
lotte Blackmon. A native of Bir-
mingham, Mrs. Blackmon receiv-
ed her high school diploma from
Phillips High School. Furthering
her education, Mrs. Blackmon
came to Alabama College where
she received her M.A. and B.A.
degrees. She also has her M.A.
from the University of Alabama.

When asked what her hobbies
and sports were, Mrs. Blackmon
said that she was a full-time Eng-
lish teacher but she liked to play
golf, work in her yard, and sew.

As all red-blooded Americans,
her favorite foods are steak and
potatoes.

Mrs. Blackmon was very frank
about her pet peeve, which is'
"People who judge other people
on the basis of external appear-
ance."

She had a word of advice to
Alabama College students. This is
to relax and enjoy college, don't
think of learning as a chore, and
summed it up by saying "Hang
loose."

As one of the most interesting
teachers on campus, Mrs. Black-
mon is an ideal college teacher.
She has the importance of thr
individual student at heart.

ligion disappearing, and if so,
why? What can we expect in
the future?

He said, "People long for a
concept of God compatible with
what we know of the universe
and everything that goes on in
that universe." Not since Coper-
nicus published his helio centric
theory of the universe— only the
first in a series of shocks con-
tinuing through the present— have
people been able to believe in
the fixed answers and bromides
of earlier ages. That they con-
tinue to go to churches, Dr. van
Tuyll sees as an indication of
their great need.

Mankind has grown up some
since 1500 B.C., but his concep-
tions of God have not. Every new
discovery seems to diminish the
glory of the One Who created it,
and Who created the mind of
man to eventually understand it.
No bearded old man on a cloud
created the wonders that science
is daily uncovering, yet many re-
ligions continue to offer a benefi-
cent Zeus and charity baskets as
their ultimate answers.

What can the future hold? A
desertion of the churches? A new
concept of God and ma 1 ? Dr.
van Tuyll will give his opinions

his country's most highly ac-
claimed performing artists.

He began his study of the guitar
at the University of Nuevo Leon
with Professor Isidor Garcia
Guerrero. He later entered the
National Conservatory of Music
at Mexico City where he contin-
ued studies with maestro Guil-
lermo Flores Mendez.

In 1964 he enrolled at the Uni-
versity of California, there con-
ducting a perfectioning course
directed by the world-famous gui-
tarist, Andres Segovia.

IN THE HEART OF ALABAMA"

VOLUME XLV

ALABAMA COLLEGE, MONTEVALLO, ALABAMA, NOVEMBER 2, 1967

New Dormitories
Planned For A.C.

To Be Completed
By Next September

President D. P. Culp announced
lis week completion of archi-
cts' plans for two new dormi-
ories, to be ready for occupancy
the fall.

Construction work on the four-
ory women's hall and three-
Dry men's residence is expected
begin by January.
The facilities will be situated
ear Fuller Hall, with the wom-
n's hall immediately behind the
geology building and the men's
11 connected by covered walk-
to Fuller.
President Culp noted certain
anges in construction of the
buildings that have come
administrative study of stu-
needs.

. These changes include private
baths, wall-to-wall carpeting and

from
dent

a greater degree of sound-proof-
ing than in present facilities.

Said Dr. Culp, "One of the
problems really pressing students
is the need for privacy." After
consideration of various suite ar-
rangements, it was decided that
the difference in cost of provid-
ing more private facilities was
justified.

Besides more privacy, Dr. Culp
expects the new residence halls
to possess a greater degree of
"finesse" than many college dor-
mitories now being built. He em-
phasized the fact that dormitories
are "built for generations" and
should exhibit "finish as well as
substance."

Dr. Culp noted that the addi-
tion of two new halls will alle-
viate crowded living conditions
next year.

Elite Night
To Honor
A.C. Leaders

On November 18 the campus
will honor its beauties, favorites,
Who's Who and outstanding stu-
dents in traditional Elite Night
ceremonies.

The pageant, for indeed it is
just that, will climax the series
of endless class meetings and
elections that have plagued cafe-
teria-goers since early October,
not to mention harried sessions
of picture making or judgings un-
dergone by campus Elite.

The presentation of campus per-
sonalities in formal attire at
Elite Night has a long and ven-
erable history. In 1933, when the
school was still in the hands of
the girls, Elite Night was insti-
tuted as a better means of choos-
ing Who's Who, which had been
called unfair because of limited
•'me and methods of voting and
nominating.

In that year the Technala (now
*e Alabamian) presented the
Elite in a fanciful show entitled
"■Tinker Bell and the Elves, or
"hat Happens When Alabama
Allege Goes Highbrow". The
Practice of submitting pictures
of beauty semi-finalists to celebri-
j'es was instituted, and world-
lamous dancer Ted Shawn was
the judge.

The Elite Night tradition was
c °ntinued when boys entered the
•nstitution in 1956. The first year
* b °y. Bobby Harrison, was chos-
en favorite of the freshman class,
until 1961 was Mr. A.C. add-
to the list of honorees pre-
sented at Elite Night.

Historian Lucille Griffith of
^'abama College notes that the
. f end in Elite Night productions
as been toward simplicity in
s "minating elaborate sets and
cripts, to concentrate on the in-
U1 ymuals to be honored.

This year's co-chairmen for
Night are Pat O'Rourke
3n d Carol Weir.

Women's Regulations
Studied By Senate

It was announced officially in
the Senate that, by administra-
tive order, women students will
not launder men's clothing using
dormitory facilities.

The order came down after
complaints of depleted hot water
supplies in certain dormitories
housing women students. All wom-
en students will be affected by
the new regulation.

The Dean of Women stated in
an interview with SGA Vice-Pres-
ident Mack Rudd that the laun-
dering of men's clothing in cer-
tain women's dormitories was go-
ing on late at night in laundry
rooms without curtains. The girls
should not be using the room
without curtains after dark, she
felt, in the interest of propriety.

In other Senate business, clari-
fication was sought of rules con-
cerning women's attire. Slacks,
it was learned, may be worn
anywhere on campus except in
dormitory lobbies, where they
may be worn only on Saturdays.
On Sundays slacks are forbidden
at any time.

Senator Jim Cole also intro-
duced a bill into the Senate con-
cerning consumption of alcoholic
beverages by women students.
The bill would extend to women
students the regulation presently
in force for men students. The
bill went to committee in the
absence of a quorum.

Have you heard? . . . Rumor
has it that the Tea House (S.U.B.
A-Go-Go) just hasn't got it. It's
lacking in something, like atmo-
sphere, class, etc.

Possibly more of an Oriental
touch or maybe a hint of Green-
wich Village is needed. Any good
ideas? Meditate on it. Jot your
ideas down on paper and next
time you're in the S.U.B. , drop
them by the S.G.A. office.

against the false accusations of Oedipus (John Batson), right. Susan Henderson as Jocasta looks on.

"Oedipus Rex" To Open Tonight

"Oedipus the King," acclaimed
by histrionic masters through 24
centuries as the world's greatest
drama, will open the season cur-
tain on Alabama College Theatre
productions Thursday and Friday
evenings.

Well known by the title "Oedi-
pus Rex," the dramatic master-
piece was written by Sophocles
in 430 B.C. and is universally
held as a prime example of clas-
sical Greek tragedy.

Typical of this is its central
theme of the mystery of man's
fate, the intense suffering, the
hero's high character and the
poetic language.

Through the ages "Oedipus the
King" has been acclaimed as an
outstanding work of art. Critics
today still describe it as "ex-
tremely exciting," "electrifying"
and "one of the most remarkable

achievements in the history of
drama."

A major event of the play gave
rise to the now-famous term coin-
ed by Sigmund Freud— "Oedipus
complex" — signifying an "early
and primary attachment to the
parent of opposite sex, with hos-
tility to the other . . ."

The year's first presentation at
Montevallo will also bring a new
dimension to AC Theatre— the re-
turn of prominent alumni to ap-
pear as guest performers in lead
roles.

Making the initial appearance
as King Oedipus is John Batson,
Birmingham. Batson, now a
speech and dramatics teacher in
Jefferson County, is a veteran
actor. As a student at AC he
played many leading roles, and
since graduating has made stage

appearances throughout the state
with top theatre touring groups.

Students playing key roles in
the forthcoming productions are:
E. H. Roseberry, Joe Taylor, Bir-
mingham; Sharon Henderson, Ed
Austin, Montgomery; Robert
Bearden, Wilton; Gary McManis,
Calera, Pat O'Rourke, Enter-
prise; and Tommy Attaway,
Trussville.

Production director and set de-
signer is W. T. Chichester, asso-
ciate professor of speech at AC,
with technical direction by Fred
Meyers, also of the AC speech
department faculty.

Curtain time is 8:15 p.m. each
evening in Palmer Auditorium.
Ail seats are general admission,
and tickets may be obtained at
the Palmer Hall box office each
evening of presentation.

'Tower" Plans Winter Edition

TO SPEAK— Past U. S. Senator
and 1964 Republican presidential
candidate Barry Goldwater will
speak to the campus November
7 at 8:15 in Palmer Hall. Mr.
Goldwater will speak on topics
of vital concern to college stu-
dents and citizens.

Alabama College's literary mag-
azine, The Tower, will feature
both a winter and spring edition
this year, with all categories of
writing welcomed.

Editor Sharon Henderson, in
announcing the new spring edi-
tion, noted that deadline for ma-
terial to be entered in the winter
edition is the Friday after Thanks-
giving.

Miss Henderson also announced
that cash awards will be made
for the best works submitted, as
well as an award for a cover
design. The cover design chosen,
which may be in as many as
three colors, wlU appear on both
the winter and spring editions in
different color combinations.

In the past The Tower has pub-
lished notably fine work for a
college the size of A.C. The vol-
ume of works submitted justifies
the publication of two full-size

editions this year, noted Miss
Henderson.

Contributors or interested per-
sons may contact Sharon Hen-
derson, Randy Troup, Pat
O'Rourke or Jenny Holman.

Girls, you are only half as
charming as you can be if you
attend the final sessions of Bee
Talford's charm and modeling
course free to A.C. students.
The last two meetings, which
will be held November 7 and
13 In Palmer Hall at 4 p.m.,
may be the most interesting
and helpful yet.

To be discussed are wardrob-
ing essentials, such as how to
assemble a basic wardrobe, how
to suit colors to the individual,
and how to analyze your figure
problems, so don't miss out.

THE ALABAMAN, Alabama

People Count At A.C

A writer expressed the thought in The Ala-
bamian several weeks ago that A.C, in its present

expansion program, is showing more concern for
buildings than for people.

However, one has only to spend a weekend in
one of the super-deluxe twelve-story towers be-
ing built on campuses all across the nation to see
how much consideration is given to people in the
planning of next year's two new dormitories.

For purposes of comparison, let's take a hypo-
thetical visitor to one of the 'monstrous edifices
housing the population of a small town. First,
he will probably have trouble in finding the
place because of a campus sprawled over many
city blocks.

But the biggest surprises are in store inside
the supposedly luxurious building . . . Here he
will experience true communal living in the com-
munal baths; this after finding himself jarred in
the morning by the hollow thud of his own feet
on the cold linoleum of a dark cave-like corridor.

But making his way back to the 8 x 10 cubicle
reminiscent of medieval monastic cells, he may
wonder what season it is, because the centrally
controlled heating and air conditioning must be
humored. If those windows so sleek from the out-
side open at all, the aperture will be approxi-
mately 2 inches.

Maybe the hapless visitor will not be surprised
by this time at all, when he finds that whispers

from the next room can be clearly heard. His
most will probably assure him that this is for-
tunate, for otherwise he might know nothing at
all about his neighbors. It is customary, he ex-
plains, to live next door to someone all year and
not make their acquaintance; for who -can know
12 stories' worth of people and why try?

The point of mentioning the high-rise gerry-
building phenomenon on other campuses is an in-
direct approach to noting the wisdom exercised
at AC. in drawing up plans for the new men's
and women's residence halls.

First it appears that every effort has been made
to keep the campus contained withing walking
distance. Also the new dorms may be expected
to possess a personal quality unlike the cold
functionalism of many modern buildings, in that
they are not skyscrapers. The individual student
will therefore maintain his identity instead of
disappearing into the anonymity of large numbers.

Moreover, the individual's privacy has been re-
spected to a great degree in the plans for new
dormitories. Private baths and carpets which cut
down carrying of sound will assure an atmosphere
conducive to personal satisfaction, not to mention
effective study.

A.C. may be congratulated on its wise and
realistic attitude toward people in the construc-
tion of new buildings. The administration has
shown that the interests of the two need not be
in conflict.

Lotch Contraband

By John Carothers and Keith Harrelson

Some time ago, a crazy dream came to me,
Full of the characters of nursery poetry*
Took place in Anna's, that's Irvin Hall,
The house of the hungry, a lodestone to all.

Little Jack Horner sat in the corner,
Eating his ice-cream soup,
Stuck in his spoon, pulled out a prune,
An' threw it at Alley Oop!

Then Old Mother Hubbard went to the cupboard
To get the starved students some squash,
Needless to say, it was gone for the day—
"More water in the goulash!"

But Georgy-Porgy wanted puddin' or pie,
Saw only licorice cake, started to cry.
When the cobbler came out on a tray,
Georgy-Porgy ran away.

When Little Miss Muffet, up at the buffet,
Was scrounging for curds or whey,
Along came a spider, and crawled right beside her,
But she was liberal and didn't mind.

Humpty Dumpty fought for a seat,
Humpty Dumpty fell off his feet,
Hit the floor and broke his yolk,
Next morning he'd be eaten by the breakfast folk.'

Hey diddle diddle, the servings are little,
The beef cows must come from the moon,
The students don't laugh to see such a sight,
As a dish that is stuck to a spoon.

At last I awoke in shock it's no lie,
When four and twenty blackbirds,
were baked in a pie.

Letters To
The Editor

To The Editor:

The constant harassment and
intimidation of college students
by the local police is probably
the most disturbing situation fac-
ing A.C. students. For the past
several years it has been a ma-
jor irritation; this year the sit-
uation has become intolerable. It
is long since time for something
to be said about it, and for
something to be done about it.

Personally, I have been stopped
by the local police 4 times this
semester. Only one time did they
even give a hint as to why I
was stopped. That is any person's
right, you know. Once they
searched my car without a war-
rant and without permission.

I am certainly not alone. Al-
most every male upperclassman
has been stopped at least once,
usually for absolutely nothing. I
know I speak for almost all A.C.
students when I say we are tired
of it! In case after case students
have been stopped and their cars
searched without permission or
warrant.

Students have been arrested on
absurd charges and hauled to
court, only to find the arresting
officers had no case. But this
does not save the student the
embarrassment and humiliation of
arrest. Nor does it keep it off
his record that he was arrested.

This business has been going
on for several years. The town
of Montevallo now has five po-
licemen riding around in two po-
lice cars and one police truck,
equipped with 4000 h.p. engines
that will go 1 million miles an
hour; it resembles the felony
squad of metropolitan Chicago —
All this for a sleepy little South
em town with no more crime
than Petticoat Junction.

Also it seems a little hypocriti-
cal for a college community to
embrace its students with loving
arms and then maintain a police
force whose purpose in life is to
harass and irritate college stu-
dents, on the vague pretense that
they might have a beer under
the back seat.

As I see it, police are for pro-
tection, not harassment. But the
thing we need protection from is
the police itself. I think two good,
intelligent police officers would
be quite adequate for town this
size.

The Great Society

By Margo Stephenson

As the mile-long parade rolled down the street, the crowd
pressed close to catch a glimpse of the beauty on the elaborate
float. There she was, a vision of grace and loveliness — Miss Toadelli,
Goodwin— Homecoming Queen 1967 for 3rd Ramsay. It was a sigh
to see. The fans were wild with excitement, and tension ran high
before the big game.

Then came the moment, that long-awaited clash between th
two teams. All year the campus had awaited Homecoming and now
all the gaiety and excitement of the game began. Both teams fought
with bravery but in the end, 3rd Ramsay rose from the field o
battle the victor. There was jubilant celebrating in the streets, and
a holiday spirit filled the air. All was over too soon, and we won
der if we can make it until this time next year.

Phillip Alford, known best for his dramatic roles, has added
comedy to his achievements. The flick, best termed a situation
comedy, was filmed in Birmingham and although we don't know
when it is to be released, the title has leaked out. The new film
is entitled "The Shady Lady of The Dobbs House".

The Sigmas and Deltas both had parties in Birmingham last
weekend. Both, it would seem, were great successes. How couli
they miss? The Sigmas had that up-and-coming group known a
"Jay and the Buffalo Herd". The Deltas' band had a name but it
was lost in the sound they put out. Most people say it should hav<
been called "The Sonic Boom".

Do They Really Play
Zen Basketball At

NEW YORK-One of the "hip-
pest" colleges going these days,
San Francisco State, is the sub-
ject of a magazine article, pub-
lished recently.

In it, Herbert Wilner, ex-Yale
professor who left the predictable
Ivy League to teach English and
Creative Writing at unpredictable
SFS, takes a probing look at San
Francisco's "streetcar college."

He examines the puzzling ques-
tion of how a faculty and acade-
mic plant as large as SFS (which
is but a part of California's mono-
lithic State College System) ma-
nages to keep free of bureaucra-
tic and academic rigidity.

Wilner hypthesizes on the rea-
sons for this freedom: "It might
well be that SFS's newness, its
lack of traditions, its unpredicta-
ble and generally older streetcar
students, its young faculty and its
young come-and-go administra-
tors, its compulsion to be anti-
establishment ... it might be that
this unformed character is the
source of its brash and eccentric
spirit."

And there is, too, the pulling
power of SFS's growing reputa-
tion as a creative and unrestrict-
ed place. And its proximity to
Haight-Ashbury!

Part of this atmosphere of free-
dom is reflected in a radical new

program called Experimental Col
lege.

The students themselves con
ceived and sponsored this pro-
gram, which grew out of the sim-
ple assumption that the courses a
college may offer do not necessa-
rily exhaust other possibilities.

This idea of a student-sponsored
curriculum, flourished at SFS.
Both students and interested fac-
ulty members, and even those un-
connected with the college, volun-
teered their time to teach. Anyone
could teach what ever he chose.
And students could enroll as they
wished. Those were the ground
rules.

"The courses offered range
from the respectably offbeat (J<*
and Faust: The Kennedy Assas-
sination) to the subjectless (Tran-
scendental Deep Meditation; Se-
minar in non-verbal activity)
plain fun and games (Zen Basket-
ball)." Some of the courses are
even given official college credit-
These academic departures may
border on the absurd. But the im-
portant thing, according to the
article, is that the students have
successfully challenged the status
quo of standard college courses.

And, interestingly, the SFS e*"
perimental College Program
is being studied today by students
and administrators throughout th'
country."

Tackle Football Foreseen
In Intramural Games

By Bill Toms
Sports Editor

Since we don't have an intercollegiate football team at Alabama
liege, the intramural program serves almost as a substitute. All
the intramural contests are well attended.

But there are those who would love to see A.C. have a football
team. I am not one. I believe the old school would lose some of
its character if we were invaded by a weekend pigskin madhouse.
Not only this, but it is financially impossible to start an intercol-
legiate football team.

But I think there is a way to improve the quality of our intra-
mural program. This would be to have the boys dress out in pads
and play tackle football. The game of flag football is much rougher
and more dangerous than tackle with proper protection. I cringe
when I hear the flesh pop together out there on the field. The boys
hit just as hard as tackle football, except without protection of any
kind. Over the years many boys have been injured seriously.

Money would be a problem, of course. But why not have enough
pads for two teams, and let the floors incorporate to form larger
squads. I'm sure some arrangement could be made to keep the cost
at a minimum.

Tackle football is more exciting than flag football and oddly
enough, less dangerous. My idea is to protect the participants and
draw more spectators. Maybe there could even be a bowl game ar-
ranged to decide the championship.

I am not a crusader, and my suggestion is only a suggestion,
but maybe in the future some sort of intramural tackle football
program would be feasible.

Journament Ends
football Season

By Jim Cole

Intramural football drew to a
close this week as the play-off
tournament for the top four teams
was scheduled for October 31
November 1. A tight league
this year, the top three teams
were separated by only two
games in the final standings.

First-place Commuters went into
|the playoff a strong favorite with
no losses on their record. A large
part of their success is due to
quarterback Neal Hodo and a
strong defense. They played con-
sistently good ball all season,
with a tie to 3rd Ramsay as the
only mar on their record.
Third Ramsay placed second in
he standings, with one loss and
two ties on their record. Having
fed the Commuters, beat the
peisters, and lost to Fourth Cen-
tal, this was the dark hour of
pie tournament. Its unique man-
jto-man coverage on defense prov-
'sd to be surprisingly effective
throughout the year. This defense
Muld well have been the decid-
">g factor of their success in the
tournament.

Only half a game behind 3rd
iamsay were the Meisters with
*o losses. Their impressive game
'fought them to third place. Play-
's from shotgun formation they
' e re limited all season to end
*eeps and passes. Yet only 3rd
lamsay and the Commuters were
*le to stop them.
The underdog in the tourna-
ment, Fourth Central, came from
*hind and pulled an upset on
p Ramsay to make it into the
Ornament in fourth place. With
1 good passing game and fast
,a ckfield they have a varied and
"ell-balanced offense. However,
pensively they need greater
e Pth to be any sort of threat.
The tournament plays only the
four teams, although there
er e other good ball teams in
le league. On Tuesday, the Com-
pters were scheduled to play
0u «h Central, while Third Ram-
jy was to play the Meisters.

Ramsay Homecoming
Is Big Success

By Bill Toms

The humor and spirit that pre-
vailed at the annual Delta Home-
coming last Tuesday was typical
of the ole college attitude. The
Deltas won 12-7 over the Sigmas
in a hard-fought battle, but the
big thing wasn't the score but
the ceremonies and pageantry
that surrounded the athletic event.

The game was given play-by-
play coverage, was cheered by
seven lovely feminines, and half-
time was graced by the appear-
ance of Mama Ramsay "Toad"
Goodwin, with his (her) escort,
Candy Coe. It was a gaia affair;
it illustrated the college spirit and
humor I like to see.

Wins Losses Ties

Final Games Today
In Volleyball Intramurals

By Ann Smith
Ladies' Sports Editor

"If I should win, let it be by the code
With my faith and my honor held high,
If I should lose, let me stand by the road
And cheer as the winners go by."

— Prayer of a Sportsman

This is it, the final week of volleyball intramurals. As the weeks
of practice sessions and round robin games draw to a close and the
double elimination tournament reaches its climax, everyone wants
to know who will win — but that still remains to be seen.

The top teams play the final games this Wednesday and Thurs-
day to determine a champion. These final games should be the
most exciting of the entire tournament for the simple reason that
the teams competing are the most highly skilled a,nd they possess
that desire to win. Thursday night should supply us with an answer,
however. Until then we'll just have to wait and see.

As volleyball intramurals draw to a close, basketball intramurals
will just be getting underway. Intramurals begin Monday afternoon
at 4:00 in Myriek Hall, November 6. Everyone is invited to partici-
pate. If you would like to know more about the basketball intra-
murals you may contact Sherry Ammons or Betty Joyce West in
Tutwiler or Seena Douglas in . Hanson Hall.

Gymnastic practice is still being held and will continue to be
held every Monday, Tuesday and Thursday nights. Sessions are held
for beginners from 7:30 to 8:30 for those who wish to learn about
the techniques of beginning gymnastics. From 8:30 to 9:00 girls'
tumbling, floor exercises, and work on the mini-tramp take place.
From 9:30 to 10:00 practice and help on the balance beam and in
vaulting will be held. You may come to as many of these practice
sessions as you wish. They really are a lot of fun and provide an
excellent means of relaxation and enjoyment.

Troy Sweeps Conference

The Troy State Red Wave went
for high stakes last Saturday
night in Troy and took the jack-
pot, as they engulfed the Lions
of Florence 31-9. What does the
jackpot consist of? A complete
sweep of the Alabama Collegiate
Conference and the A.C.C. Cham-
pionship, first in the history of
the Red Wave.

Billy Atkins' surprising Red
Wave collected their sixth win in
seven games under the brilliant
aerial show of quarterback Sim
Byrd and Bobby F.nslen. Byrd
rifled three touchdown passes of
46, 75 and 37 yards to his favor-
ite target and completed 12 pass-
es out of 26 attempts for 254
yards.

Troy also capitalized on Lion
mistakes as Bobby Floyd fell on
a Florence fumble in the end
zone. Kicking specialist Danny
Moore of Dothan came through
for the Red Wave with 4 extra
points and a 41-yard field goal.

The supreme test for the Red
Wave comes this week as they
collide with NAIS's No. 3 ranked
small college team, Northwestern
Louisiana.

"We can't play that way this
week and win," says Atkins of
his defensive squad's perform-
ance against Florence. "South-
western is as fine a small col-
lege team as I've ever seen.
They're as big as the Green Bay
Packers."

Florence's loss to Troy was
their third straight defeat and
second A.C.C. defeat. "I think
our boys have given as much
mileage as they have in them,"
explained Coach Hal Self to the
Birmingham News. "It's just the

caliber of competition is so much
better than it used to be."

The Lions, who have done ev-
erything but win (such as fumb-
ling, throwing the ball to the
wrong team, racking up 381 yards
total offense in a losing effort and
averaging 3 touchdowns a game
with a low 2-4 record), were led
in their game by the arm of Don
Cornelius. Cornelius threw two
TD passes and carried one over
himself. Florence was up against
Delta State this weekend.

* * *

Coach Jim Blevins' Gamecocks
of Jacksonville invaded South
Carolina with quarterback Bruce
Peck taking the point position in
their 35-6 conquest of Newberry
College. The senior from Albert-
ville unleashed everything he had.
Peck rifled a 37-yard T.D. bullet
to Clay Harris and lobbed a 70-
yard bomb to Don Cassidy for a
T.D. The versatile quarterback
also took one over himself and
accounted for 5 extra points.

"We look like a team," Blev-
ins commented to the News. Con-
cerning this week's homecoming
tilt against Louisiana College,
Blevins says, "We're scared to
death."

The youngsters of freshmen-
dominated Livingston State Col-
lege came through again as they
rolled up their third straight vic-
tory in six games as they made
the Millsaps College Majors feel
like privates in their 20-7 con-
quest.

However, Livingston still has a
lot to prove when they face the
mighty teams of Arkansas A&M,
Mississippi College, Jax State and
Samford.

Elite Night Gets The Nod

Climaxing Frantic Week

FOR MISS A. C. — Miss Mary Granade receives roses after being named Miss A. C. at Elite
Night. Carol Weir, co-chairman of Elite Night, made the presentation. Mr. W. T. Chichester accepted
the Mr. A. C. title for Mark Riggins in his absence.

Culp Resignation Told

It was announced recently that
Jabama College President Dr.
D. P. Culp will leave his current
post to become president of East
Tennessee State University at
nson City, Tenn.

nouncement of the AC chief
cutive's planned move was
ade at a special meeting of
faculty and staff members at
Montevallo.

Wales W. Wallace, Columbiana
attorney and chairman of the col-
lege's Board of Trustees Execu-
tive Committee, said Alabama is
'losing one of its most able and
experienced educators." He said
Culp's departure will be a "ser-
ious loss not only to Alabama
College but to education through-
out the state."

Wallace said the Board of Trus-
tees will meet "at an early date"
to consider a possible successor
to the presidency at Alabama Col-
lege. He said no decisions had
°een made at this time.

Culp assumed the top adminis-
trative post at Alabama College
i» 1963, having served the pre-
vious nine years as president of
Livingston State College. During
™s 4-and-a-half year administra-
tion at Montevallo, student en-
rollment doubled and five new
ouildings were added to the Mon-
tevallo campus. Plans for two
°ew dormitories are nearing com-
pletion, and construction is ex-
pected to begin in the near fu-
ture.

Dr. Culp has served on numer-
ous state and national commis-
sions and professional associa-
tes. He was a member of a
JPecial six-man mission for the
Raited States to the Philippines
1959-60 for a special study of
Public education in the Archi-

pelago.

He attended Jacksonville State
University, received his B.S. and
M.S. degrees from Auburn Uni-
versity and his Doctor of Edu-
cation degree from Columbia
University in New York.

He began his teaching career
in a one room school in his na-
tive Chilton County, advancing
to larger public schools in Chil-
ton and Butler Counties.

He entered the administrative
field first as a school principal,
later serving as Superintendent
of Schools in Chilton County. He
was a professional staff member
of the Alabama State Department
of Education from 1946-51 before
joining the graduate school fac-
ulty at Auburn University.

He became president at Liv-
ingston State College in 1954.

Dr. Culp will succeed President
Durgin E. Dossett at East Ten-
nessee. Dossett is retiring.

East Tennessee State Univer-
sity has a student enrollment in
excess of 11,000. The main cam-
pus is at Johnson City, Tenn.,
with centers at Bristol and Kings-
port.

Don't forget the bon-
fire and pep rally Fri-
day night. Alabama
College plays Jack-
sonville State Univer-
sity Friday night and

urday night.

Pep Rally
Sparks Spirit

By James T. Griffith

Excitement filled the air as
this year's first S.G.A. pep rally
got underway. It all began with
the excellent sound of the new
twenty-four piece pep band, with
the enthusiasm of the cheerlead-
ers sparking the spirit of the
student body.

James Hayes made the presen-
tation of the WAQY hot dog eat-
ing trophy to first-place winner
Fred Holbein and first runner-up
Mike Malone.

The Alabama College Gymnas-
tics Club, presented by Miss
Freddie Malone, then gave a
spectacular preview half - time
demonstration.

Highlighting the pep rally was
the introduction of the 1967 Fal-
cons basketball team by Dr. Leon
Davis. Along with this introduc-
tion captain of the basketball
team, Mark Riggins, issued a
challenge to the entire student
body to support this year's prom-
ising team.

And then there was the "A"
Club girls. Simply vivacious!
What more can you say, besides
let's 'whomp um up a-side de
head."

In the closing moments Peg
Gaskin, chairman of the Spirit
Committee, issued a challenge to
all male social clubs, stating that
a trophy will be awarded by the
S.G.A. to the male social club
with the highest yearly attend-
ance at home basketball games.

We of tiie Spirit Committee are
genuinely proud of the student
body spirit demonstrated during
the pep rally.

"Our team has the ability to
be the best. The challenge is ours
to make sure they are the best."

The holidays arrived as nearly
an anti-climax to the week of
rehearsals, gown fittings, back
stage changes and generally pan-
icky activities connected with
Elite Night.

The Alabamian learned that the
event is assured a place in his-
tory on account of a phone call,
if for no other reason, received
that Fatal Friday in College Op-
erations.

"Mr. Leslie," a voice came
over the wire, "do you have a
truck that can pick up two trees
in Birmingham today ... no, I
don't know the address . . . nope,
no phone number either. Sorry
about that. But I know right
where it is . . . What do you
mean, do I know what I'm talk-
ing about?"

The trees (florists' shrubs) did
arrive on time-, however, as those
present last Saturday night may
have noticed. They completed the
set designed and executed by
Elite Night co-chairman Pat
O'Rourke.

But the Missing Tree incident
is at least matched in display of
misguided ..enthusiasm by ..one
young lady who appeared at re-
hearsal in full evening dress

with an ironing board under one
arm. Evidence to the general
pandemonium is the fact that no
one seemed to notice.

It goes without saying that the
beauty candidates presented at
Elite Night were beautiful. At
the afternoon tea and judging
session, the judges remarked re-
peatedly upon the poise and pow-
er of expression shown by the
nominees. Scoring the girls was
an ordeal of decisions, the judges
later declared. (See letter inside.)
From the first backstage squeal
of pleasure Saturday night, how-
ever, it was apparent that wise
choices had been made.

Other events made this Elite
Night unique. Miss Alabama Col-
lege, Miss Mary Granade, found
no Mr. A. C. present to share
the stage, as Mark Riggins was
playing an out-of-town game with
the basketball team. Emcee W.
T. Chichester accepted the title
for Mr. Riggins.

Miss Granade's election as Miss
Alabama College completed a
list of other, honors, including
Senior Class Favorite, Depart-
ment Elite in Elementary Educa-
tion, and Who's Who, accorded
her.

R. E. Week Observed

Religious Emphasis Week is be-
ing observed at Alabama College
from Nov. 27-Dec. 1, with a prom-
inent leader of the Southern Bap-
tist Convention Home Mission
Board as guest speaker.

John F. Havlik, associate di-
rector of the Home Mission
Board, is presenting two special
convocation addresses and direct
a series of conferences during
the week's activities.

Havlik is a native of Milwau-
kee and holds academic degrees
from Baylor University, Southern
Baptist Theological Seminary at
Louisville, Ky., and the Central
Baptist Theological Seminary at
Kansas City, Kan.

He took his present post with
the Home Mission Board, a unit
of the Convention's Division of
Evangelism, in Jan. 1965.

A highlight of this year's pro-
gram at Montevallo was the lead-
off event Monday evening— the
religious musical folk drama,
"Good News."

Directing the 7:30 p.m. presen-
tation in Palmer Auditorium was
James E. Stanton, music super-
visor in the Hale County school
system and director of public
school music for Greensboro city
schools.

Stanton is an A. C. alumnus,
receiving his Bachelor of Music
Education degree in 1960. He re-
ceived the M.A. degree from the
University of Alabama in 1964.
A staff member of the Glcrieta
Baptist Assembly in New Mexico
for the past six summers, Stan-
ton directed the world premier
of "Good News" there this past
June.

Convocations and conference
programs presented by Rev. Hav-
lik were set for Tuesday and
Thursday, Nov. 28 and 30, at 10
a.m. in Palmer Auditorium; con-

ferences were scheduled for 7:30
p.m. inComer Auditorium.

Religious Emphasis Week at
A.C. is sponsored by the Student
Religious Association. Directing
this year's program is SRA presi-
dent Craig Teed, Bessemer. Teed
is a second-year student major-
ing in history.

Other officers of the sponsor-
ing organization are Gayle Lees,
Mobile, vice president; and Jane
Doswell, Hayneville, secretary-
treasurer.

Gratifying Progress. Well, I walked in the front of Main the
other day and the high old archways between the main foyer and
the parlors had been plugged up with cold little, metal door frames
. . Hate it about that.

Personality, Communication, Atmosphere. Peggy Gaskin said
the Spirit Committee wanted to get some atmosphere for the Tea
House. I think there should be a small stage (just a little platform,
now) and a piano in a corner. There's plenty of talent around and
there ought to be more opportunity for people to perform. There
could be entertainment like that on weekends or even more often.
The music might as well be live as come from the juke box.

Worth It? It seems to me that about all Barry Goldwater's re-
cent speech was worth was to see a "famous" significant person.
He said nothing new— while he was a good speaker, he also got a
little trite and platitudinous. Like a good politician, he managed to
be always pleasant yet managed to skirt all of the questions. He's
for Nixon and levelheadedly believes there should strictly be a two-
party system. About the only remarkable thing he said was that the
Viet Nam war would be "over" in a year. I hear that they paid an
awful lot to have him speak.

• * * »

A Fall. The other Monday night, the sixth, the Ginkgo tree
dropped its leaves; the next day there was a solid circle of gold
under the tree. (This was soon disposed of, though, by the "Billy
Goat.")

» * *

Hate This, Too. Speaking of creating some atmosphere at the
Tea House: the redoing of the cafeteria is done. I liked the old
lights hanging down, the high ceilings and the arched windows. If
they had just refinished the walls and floors. But of course "it looks
a lot better."

By The Way. Why don't they fix the doors down at the SUB
so they'll stay open during breaks? And why not think about
double doors or outside doors for the post office?

The Great Society

By Margo Stephenson

Elite Night has come and gone. For upperclass women who were
nominated for Beauty it was another year of the same hectic pace,
but for freshman women it was a new experience and an insight
into the workings of being a Beauty. When pictures were taken of
all the nominees in formals, one freshman girl was observed being
followed from scenic spot to spot by her personal valet, equipped
with comb, compact and all the other aids required for the "can-
did" shots.

While freshmen girls primped, upperclass women were seen
dashing straight from class into evening attire, throwing on that left
glove and pushing hair back. Being conscientious paid off for the
freshmen, it seems, for eight of them were elected beauty finalist.
Well, freshmen, you will be sophomores next year, so get out your
cold cream, girls— wrinkles will be creeping up on you by that old
age.

Voices were heard in the night and girls scrambled to the win-
dows in Tut to see a large group of unknown boys lifting their
voices upward. We discovered as we listened that they were from
Birmingham Southern and had come to serenade newly pinned
Cheryl Rhodes. After completing their repertoire of Theta Chi
songs, the boys piled into Tut lobby for a reception given by the
Kappas. If only the Kappas had invited everyone interested in
pledging down to get acquainted, they would have had the largest
pledge class this campus has ever seen^a whole dorm. All good
tilings must end, however, and the boys with the beautiful voices
left; but they left everyone feeling just a little of the excitement
Cheryl must have felt.

Speaking Of beautiful voices, if you missed Good News Monday
night, you missed a wonderful experience. The singers were Good
News and one left feeling a part of their Good News.

Now Don't Do Anything Rash!

By Carol Weir

Legislative wheels grind slowly, perhaps right-
fully. This lack of celerity may be a built-in
check to rash action from an ideally august legis-
lative body.

Word has it, at any rate, that the Student Sen-
ate cannot be accused of rash action. According
to one senator, it cannot be accused of much
action at all this year. His comment was, "Act-
ually no major bill has been passed this year."

With one session left in the semester several
important bills are stalled. Appropriation bills
for care of the mascot and for the new Spirit
Committee have not been voted upon. A bill pro-
posing changes in women's regulations has also
reached a bottleneck.

Is there organized resistance to the measures?
No, it is doubtful that great debate will precede
the bills' passage to the Faculty Committee, next
step in the legislative process. The bottleneck
has occurred at voting time on the Senate floor
because of absence of a quorum.

When the roll is called at beginning of Senate
meetings, held before the hour for evening classes,
there is a quorum. Only a few senators are ex-
cused during the meeting for classes. Yet when
time to vote on important measures arrives,
enough senators have faded away to disperse the
quorum.

Senate whips have planned a new procedu
for keeping records of cuts and for notifying c
linquent senators. We hope their measures wi
correct the situation. If it should turn out, ho
ever, that the many absences and half-absenc
are excused, then perhaps voting and discussioi
of bills can be done at the beginning of Sena
meetings. Committee reports, now presented firs
could then be delayed until meeting's end if no
directly related to the voting.

Lotch Contraband

By Keith Harrelson

"Hey! I got a letter!"
"No, you didn't."

"Whaddya mean? I did too. Look!"

"Nope, it's been so long since you've gotten one that I refuse
to believe you have now." He turned solemnly on his heel and walk-
ed away. The other boy stared at him open-mouthed for a minute,
then eagerly tore into his letter.

I glanced over to the trash can where a boy stood opening an
envelope from the Polynesian Orthodox Church of Montevallo. It
contained a letter of welcome and an invitation, of course, and the
ever-present weekly issue of the Polynesian Orthodox Newsletter.
He scanned them quickly and uninterestedly, then dropped them
casually into the can.

He left and I walked over to get it out and looked at it. To say
the least, I was a bit startled to find that his was just one of about
two hundred Polynesian Orthodox Newsletters that lined the sides
and bottom of the can.

"Yes, young lady, this is it. Here you are—"

"What is it, Sandra?" asked one of the two girls at the package
window. Her friend hefted a large cardboard box from the counter
and answered cheerfully as they started out the door.

"I think it's some kind of cake from Mother. She's doing some
missionary work in Peru."

The poor fellow watched them bustle through the door and then
disgustedly attacked the swarm of ants and cockroaches that cover-
ed the counter with a can of Black Flag.

I stood around a minute to see what else might happen and
when nothing did, I decided maybe I could look in my own mail-
box. "Why am I doing this?" I asked myself. "It's just going to be
stark naked empty like it always is. I'm just wasting my t-Hey'
A letter! And it's from Emily! Glad it got here in time."

I had hoped to hear from her to find out if she was going to
come home that weekend. I wanted to go to Auburn Homecoming
and whether she came home or not was very important information
Reaching a little too eagerly for it, I pushed it out the other end
of the box whereupon it fell to the floor on the other side of the
wall of pigeonholes.

I was horrified! Oh, I'll just get the guy behind the counter to
give it to me-The window was closed. As I knocked apprehensively
on the door to the mail room, I saw him drive away in front ,of the
SUB in his little red, white, and blue truck.

All I could do was go back to my box and look through the
glass doors of the lower boxes to where my letter, so important
lay indifferently on the floor, not to be picked up until the follow-
ing morning— when I would be home.

An Ingenious Solution

NEW HAVEN, Conn. (CPS)-
In a recent speech at Yale Uni-
versity Gilbert Harrison, editor
of the New Republic magazine,
proposed a simple solution
the Vietnam problem, all
while keeping his tongue-in-cheek.

He said that, as a first step, the
U.S. should allow the NFL to
take over the provernment of
South Vietnam. If it did so, ca-
cording to Harrison, our present
allies in that country would be
forced to take to the jungles and
swamps.

When Ky and his supporters
were forced into the wilds, Harri-
son hypothesized, they would be-
come guerillas while the NLF
was turning into an ordinary, in-
effectual military force like the
present South Vietnamese army.

Since most experts agree that
conventional forces need a 10-1
advantage over guerillas to de-
feat them, the NLF would prob-
ably find itself undermanned,
Harrison suggested, and would
eventually be overcome. Then Ky
and company could take over for
good.

phrase is a euphemism, and e

the doors leading to the plane

frills are nice, but this is whe

It was early morning when w

Heads turned.

They stare at civilians here,
especially civilian girls, but not
the way boys on fraternity nous
steps stare at a girl. There was
a kind of sadness in their eyes,
as though I might have been
their girl friend. But I wasn't,
so they looked away, following
the male code of no trespassing
on posted land.

I began to look at them. Most
of them were young — so young
it almost hurt. They stood i»
circles, talking and laughing a
little too loudly. The early birds
who got the chairs sat silently,
staring with the pitience of mili-
tary hurry-up-and-wait.

Snatches of conversation drift-
ed by. It was mostly shop talk—
the merits of such-and-such rifle,
"remember when" stories of ba-
sic training, tales of the big
beer bust they had on their firs'
pass.

The air was studiedly casual-
Never was there mention °'

THE ALABAMIAN, Alabama College

Police Problem Concerns College

Commenting on a recent letter
the editor concerning harass-
ent and intimidation of the col-
~e students, Dean Wilkinson
id the administration has been
ncerned about the problem and
es consider the welfare of the
dents. Dean Wilkinson stated
at he has an understanding with
the Mayor and Council that he
will be called for consultation
when a student is involved with
the law.

The Dean of Men agreed that
there have been some unfortunate
incidents in which the students
of AC have been unnecessarily
accused and have been unfairly

treated. However, an assumption
that students are exclusively
picked on by the police is un-
warranted since police do pick
up other people and charge them
the same as they do students.

One main area of concern for
the student is police charges of
drunkenness when the student is
not drunk, but has possession of
alcohol. The Dean clarified this
action in a statement that the
police consider the student's fi-
nancial situation in switching of
charges. The fine for possession
of alcohol is much more expen-
sive than the fine for drunken-
ness.

The problem of being stopped
without a reason is naturally
agreed to be a menace. Persons
should be given adequate reason
for being stopped by the police.
And if a student is fined, he
should be fined for exactly what
he has done wrong and not for
some trumped up or mixed up
charges.

Steps have been taken by the
administration to alleviate this
situation, which at the present is
much better. Dean Wilkinson said
that he felt that through co-op-
eration and understanding on the
part of all concerned that this
matter will continue to improve
and be resolved.

A.C. Debaters Rack Up Victories

.. .The Alabama College Debaters,
well into a new season of debate,
have already competed in two
out-of-state tournaments in Mis-
sissippi and Georgia.

On November 3-4 the debate
team attended a preliminary
tournament at Mississippi State
University in Starksville. This was
the first tournament for many of
the debaters and proved to be
most successful.

The following weekend the team
travelled to Athens to compete in
the Sixth Annual University of
Georgia Debate Tournament. The
twenty-five colleges and universi-
ties at this tournament made this
one of the biggest events of the

debate season. The Alabama Col-
lege debaters made an impres-
sive record by scoring victories
over such schools as William and
Mary, United States Naval Acad-
emy of Annapolis, University of
Georgia, Georgia State, Tennes-
see Tech, and many others.

December 1-2, the Alabama Col-
lege Speech Department and De-
bate Team will host the Fifth An-
nual Central Alabama Novice
Tournament here in Montevallo.
Thirty schools from a five-state
area have been invited to attend
this five-round contest.

Among other tournaments on
the Alabama College debaters
schedule this year are those to

be held at Samford University,
Florida State University, Missis-
sippi State College for Women,
and University of Southern Mis-
sissippi.

All debates this year among
collegiate teams will concern the
national intercollegiate proposi-
tion, "Resolved: That the Fed-
eral Government Should Guaran-
tee a Minimum Annual Cash In-
come to All Citizens." The 1967-68
Alabama Colleeg debaters, under
the leadership of new debate
coach Sallye Johnson, are: Mary
Lou Elder, Peggy Gaskin, Denis
Hermccz, Jerry Pittnan, Teresa
Causey, Buddy Roseberry, and
Glen Hale.

Hosts Banquet

By Darryl Baygents

Recently, Fourth Central, the
intramural football champs, held
their first annual football banquet
at the Siluria Hotel. The elabo-
rate banquet room was reserved
and the entire team gathered
there.

After everyone was stuffed with
fried chicken, except Chuck
Gianfrate, who had consumed
three large bowls of mashed po-
tatoes, awards were presented to
individual players.

Fred Holbein was given a
standing ovation as he received
the Sportsmanship award.

The team was then honored
with a short speech from senior
captain Chris Jebeles. With this
the banquet was adjourned, to
live in the minds of all the play-
ers for a long time.

Fourth Central* wishes to thank
captain Jim Threet, and especially
the Greek, for their guidance in
leading them to the 1967 Intramu-
ral Football Championship.

iHEARSING AT JAZZ CLINIC— A. C.'s modern dance group has
gun rehearsals for their concert on December 8 and 9. They are:

sippi, came to A. C. to hold the Jazz Clinic.

Spirit Committee
Plans Movies
For Campus

Are you tired of weekend bore-
dom? Fed up with dressing and
driving 35 miles to Birmingham
to see a mediocre movie in some
stuffy overcrowded theater?

Besides the aggravation of park-
ing 3 or 4 blocks from the thea-
ter and having to pay $3.00 per
couple for admission, there is
also the problem of getting "Cin-
derella" back to A.C. by "pump-
kin hour".

The S.G.A. Spirit Committee in
its most recent meeting realized
the need for weekend entertain-
ment on campus.

On Friday, December IS, at
8:15 p.m., THE BIRDS, one of
Alfred Hitchcock's greatest all-
time thrillers, will be presented
in Palmer Auditorium. As an ex-
tra, the ever popular Road Run-
ner will precede the main fea-
ture. Admission Is only $.35. See
you there.

DELTA SWEETHEART— Outgoing Delta sweetheart for the month
of November is Miss Kaaren Taylor.

AELTA DETAILS

For the month of November,
the Deltas find themselves grac-
ed with a sweetheart and en-
hanced by fourteen new pledges.

The Delta Sweetheart for the
month of November is a blue-
eyed blonde from Dothan, Miss
Karen Taylor, or better known
as "Kat". Kat has helped the
club immensely by her participa-
tion in our drives activities, and
in her desire to see the club
further its aims and goals. The
Deltas are proud of their choice
and thankful for her services
rendered to the club.

With the completion of rush
week, the Deltas are happy to
announce their fall pledge class:
Jack Spahr, Ron Payton, John
Bethea, Larry Easterwood, Doc
Caldwell, Wes Foster, Butch Real,
Jimmy Jones, Jack Rhodes,
Charlie Stewart, John Reach,
Ross Hobbs, and Terry Goodwin.

Through a planned study period

and work program, the pledge
class becomes integrated into the
activities of the club. The pledge
class has already shown itself
to be hard workers, as they have
already completed one fund rais-
ing project and are working hard
at others.

Os can be evidenced by the
senior members' shiny shoes and
"squared away" rooms, the
pledge class is showing their tal-
ents in other areas as well. The
Deltas are proud of their pledge
class and have high expectations
in their contribution to the club.

Since his induction on the A.C.
campus, the fledgling, "Ace", is
rapidly making progress in his
growth as a full-sized falcon.
This growth can be attributed to
his environment and the daily
feeding and care given him by
Johnny Shivers and Larry Mick-
wee.

Plans are in the making for
building the mascot a new home.

Because of rising costs, the
Alabama College Board of Trus-
tees has increased food prices
$17.33 per semester. The new
scale will become effective at
the beginning of the spring se-
mester, 1968.

The ARA Slater Service has
kept food prices constant over a
three-year period. But recent la-
bor legislation and other price
factors have made additional
food charges necessary. Conse-
quently, board charges will be
$17.33 higher when students regis-
ter for the spring semester.

67-'68 Falcons Start Season

THE FIGHTING FALCONS— Members of the 1967-68 basketball team are (top row, l-r) Steve Ham-
mond, Bo Baughman, Jerry Gillespie, Tommy Lovell, Dan Nelson, Bill Godwin, Mike Killimet, Henry
Ezell. L to R kneeling are Mark Riggins, Bill Roundtree, Ed Becker, Ralph Butler, and George
Johnston.

Ezell Leads Team Again Soccer Raises

By BUI Toms

This is the first in a series of
articles presenting the Falcon
basketball squad.

Standing at one of the guard
positions for the A.C. Falcons
this year will be Henry Ezell, a
5-11, 160 pound junior.

Last year, Ezell was voted the
most valuable player for the Fal-
cons. As one of the shortest
guards in the conference, he has
made up for lack of height with
speed, agility, and the ability to
get his shots off quickly.

Against LaGrange last year, he
scored 32 points, his highest tor
the season.

• ■ Henry shot with 75% accuracy
from the freethrow line, and 47%
accuracy from the field. He has
been voted to the All-Conference
and All-Tournament teams.

Henry came to the Falcon squad
with an outstanding high school
record. At Graceville High School
of Graceville, Florida, he averag-
ed 26 points a game his senior
year. He was voted All-State, All-
Conference, All-N. W. Florida,
Most Valuable Player Class B,
All-Tourney, and played in the
All-Star game.

Coach Leon Davis said that
Henry is a good defensive player,
a fine shooter, ball-handler, and
Passer. With improvements in a
couple of areas he could be a real

HENRY EZELL

outstanding ball player.

With two successful years be-
hind him, Ezell is looking for-
ward to this year's season.

Henry said, "I think we'll have
a good team if we all get together
and play as a unit. We have ma-
terial, potential and experience.
This is the first time we've had
all these ingredients and I feel
if we put all of these together
we'll have a good season."

If Henry continues his steady
improvement, I think this could
mean a lot in helping to contrib-
ute to what could emerge as the
"Year of the Falcons".

Questions On
A.C. Campus

By Phillip Alford

Intercollegiate soccer? This is
a question being asked by many
people on this campus, both fac-
ulty and students.

As far as the students are con-
cerned, there are several other
questions in their minds. Will
soccer be taken up seriously by
the school? Will there be letters
given? And the biggest question:
What is soccer?

To answer these questions: Yes,
soccer will definitely be sched-
uled as an intercollegiate sports
event next fall. The team will
play St. Bernard (who has had a
soccer team for 7 years), and
Troy State.

It will be a sport that will be
taken seriously enough so that
letters will be given to outstand-
ing members.

And the third, and biggest
question: What is soccer? I
would hazard a guess that it is
perhaps one of the most widely
followed sports in the world. Eu-
rope has had it for years and
years, and just in the past 2
years it has caught on in this
country at the professional level.
The rest of the world can't be
all wrong, and it is a coming
sport in the U.S.

As far as the faculty and ad-
ministration is concerned it's the
green light all the way. But the
school can't put money and pres-
tige on the line if the students
aren't willing to participate— not
only as players, but as spectators
also.

Well, that's all there is to it.
It's up to the students to get out
of their Auburn-Alabama rut and
onto the Alabama College wagon.
All it takes is a little school
spirit and we can really have a
contact sport and a team to play
it.

There are several other colleges
In this state waiting for someone

With nine lettermen returning, Coach Leon Davis' squad could
be one of the stronger teams in the conference this year. "We have
a lot of enthusiasm," Coach Davis said. "The boys will have to sac-
rifice and work hard; the conference still has several real strong
teams and how well we do will depend on us."

Along with the nine lettermen, Mark Riggins, George Johnston,
Ralph Butler, Tommy Lovell, Henry Ezell, Mike Killimet, Dan Nel-
son, Bill Godwin, and Bill Rountree, there will be four freshmen,

A.C.C Grid Season Ends

By Steve Berry

That was the week that was as
far as the Alabama Collegiate
was concerned. Troy State Col-
lege finished a spectacular 75-0
pounding of Louisiana College.

The spunky Tigers of Livingston
State surprised the old A.C.C.
Champions of Jacksonville State
with a 7-7 deadlock.

Last but not least, the Florence
Lions continued to surprise ev-
erybody with their consistently
erratic, losing type football in
the 22-0 loss to the Baby Vols of
Tennessee (UTMB).

The Louisiana College Wildcats
were gasping for breath alter
they were engulfed 75-0 by the
Red 'title' Wave from Troy. Troy
quarterbacks Sim Byrd and John
Enslen had a field day as they
led their team with 29 pass com-
pletions out of 44 attempts for
349 yards.

The Red Wave rolled up 555
total offensive yards in their
nearly flawless performance Sat-
urday night. Billy Atkins has
coached the Red Wave to an cut-
standing 8-2 record, the finest
season Troy has had in many
years.

The Livingston State Tigers of
Coach Morris Higginbotham kept
their image as perhaps the most
improved A.C.C. team as they
battled the old A.C.C. power, Jax
State, to a 7-7 tie Saturday night.

Both teams played tremendous
football, characterized by staunch
defensive play. Livingston got in-
side the 10 yvi line three times
and Jax State made it twice.
But in each case, the defense
tightened up and threats just re-
mained threats.

The Florence State College
Lions fell to defeat again against
the Baby Vols of Tennessee. Vol
fuHback Bobby Hayes led the
attack with 85 offensive yards,
but suffered a broken leg with 2
minutes remaining in the game.

A.C. Hosts State Sports Day

By Ann Smith
Women's Sports Editor

Excitement was the keynote in
Geneva Myrick HalJ November
18, as over 200 high school girls
from over the state met on the
A.C. campus for the State Volley-
ball Sports Day. The climax
came as Hale County and Liv-
ingston defeated Clements and
Anniston respectively in the semi-
finals to meet each other in the
finals.

As the last game of the tourna-
ment got underway the enthusi-
asm of the participants spread
to the spectators until even A.C.
students were cheering their fa-
vorite team on to victory.

Hale County won the tourna-
ment and received a trophy from
Dr. Ward TisMer at a brief cere-
mony after the match. Dr. Ber-
nice Finger presented the run-
ner-up trophy to Livingston and

Miss Margaret Blalock, who made
all the local arrangements for
the tournament, presented tro-
phies to each of the six girls
elected to the all-star team.

Miss Mabel Robinson, consul-
tant to the Health, Physical Edu-
cation and Recreation Depart-
ment of the State Department of
Education, presided over the
day's ceremonies.

Fourth Central Wins
Intramural Grid Championshi

By Jim Cole
After three weeks of rugged
seasonal play and a tight tourna-
ment play-off, Fourth Central,
"Greek's Marauders", has emerg-
ed as intramural football cham-
pion of Alabama College. Fourth
Central won the intramural foot-
ball championship by taking the
tournament with upset victories
over the Commuters and the
Meisters (having lost to both in
seasonal play). An underdog team,
Fourth Central finished the sea-
son with a 5-3 record in fourth
place.

Fourth Central began the tourn-
ament with a rough game, play-
ing the first place Commuters in
the first round. However, the
Commuters were weak on offense
in the first half without the quar-
terbacking of Neal Hodo. Stand-
outs for Fourth were Darryl Bay-
gents and Ray Davis, who played
both outstanding defensive and
offensive games. The "Marau-
ders" managed to outscore the
Commuters 33-26 and go into the
final round with the Meisters,
who had defeated Third Ramsay
12-6. In the consolation game,
the Commuters, with Dan Loftin
scoring six touchdowns, beat
Third Ramsay 36-13.

The championship game was
marked by tough defensive ball
playing and numerous intercep-
tions on both sides. The first
half belonged to the favorites,
the Meisters, who led at half-
time 6-0. They scored on a pass
play from James Carter to Bob
Ivey, with the extra point at-
tempt failing.

Fourth Central came from be-
hind in the second half on an
eighty yard run by Larry Pop-
well to take the lead 7-6, after

completing the extra point,
stopping the Meister off
again, Fourth obtained possessi
of the ball deep in their o-
territory. Doug McCay, on a
similar to Popwell's, broke 1-
and scored to stretch the 1-
to 13-6.

Late in the game the Meis
began to drive, and scored
another Carter-Ivey combina"
Using the same play, the
ters failed to make the
point, leaving the final
13-12, and a victory for Four

Much of Fourth's success
be attributed to the fine lea
ship of Coach Chris Jebeles
the high spirits of the "G
Marauders" on the playing

Children's
Play Set
For Thursday

A performance of Niccolo and
Nicollette will be held especially
for the college audience Thurs-
day night in Palmer at 8:15. The
play is a Children's Theatre pro-
duction, directed by Mrs. Willilee
Trumbauer of the Speech Depart-
ment.

However, Niccolo and Nicollette

is by no means strictly a chil-
dren's play; there is a second
level of humor, subtle and satiri-
cal.

And certainly a show of live
actors is a significant attraction.
The show is cast with veteran
performers, as well as promising
new actors.

Sharon Henderson and Charles
Dekle have the title roles. Oth-
ers featured in the cast are Tom-
my Attaway, Eddie Austin, Frank
Crus, Guy Downey, Paula Owens,
Charlotte Rush, Becky Thornton,
and Randy Troup.

The play is fantasy with broad
comedy, magic and special ef-
fects, and choreography as well
as fine characterization — the show
should entertain any audience.

Admission is free to students
upon presentation of I.D. cards.

SMILES AT ANNOUNCEMENT— John Cook and Hal Mcintosh get the Christmas spirit as they point
to announcement of extra Christmas holidays.

Jordan Speaks To Alpha Kappa Psi

Thursday night, December 7,
the Eta Upsilon Chapter of Al-
pha Kappa Psi had as its speak-
er Mr. L. Russell Jordan, who is
presently the Executive Director
ot Birmingham Baptist Hospitals.

Mr. Jordan, who was past Na-
tional President of A.K. Psi, di-
rected his speech to prospective
pledges. He emphasized the im-
portance of the fraternity and
how it would benefit its members,
[he college, and the community
in which it is located.

Following the professional meet-
ing, refreshments were served.

The pledges then retired to an-
other room where they were giv-

en instruction on pledging re-
quirements and the responsibili-
ties expected of them during the
3 weeks pledge period.

This was the second of a se-
ries of professional meetings of
the Eta Upsilon Chapter. At the
first meeting, Dr. John B. Wal-
ters, Dean of the College, spoke
to the chapter members along
with prospective pledges about
fraternity life and the relation-
ship the fraternity has with the
college. He also spoke on Broth-
erhood in the fraternity and the
importance of each member ful-
filling his duty to the chapter.

Additional professional meet-
ings are scheduled in the future
and these are open to the student
body. Eta Upsilon is also plan-
ning additional activities which
would be of interest to the stu-
dent body.

Watch for these activities in fu-
ture issues of the Alabamian.

Changes

Would you like to become fa-

tee is looking for good ideas
concerning modification of the
"Tea House."

These ideas should follow the
oriental style and should be sub-
mitted in sketch form.

The next time you are sitting
in the tea house, ask yourself
what simple changes can be made
to really give our tea house class?

Sketches may be submitted to
Peggy Gaskin or to the S.G.A. of-

flRENY FlfiE bRilLS FUN?

Oreophila

By Randy Troup
PROCRASTINATIO!
After 4:00 a.m. (Readers, this is what makes it so funny: it's
late — early!) My neighbors said after my last column that next I'd
be writing about the faulty heating vent here in my room in Main.
Well, I've been burning up. The thing wouldn't shut— but they fix-
ed that. Now it won't open.

Friday the Fifteenth! The people who saw to it that we will get
out for Christmas this Friday deserve a great deal more commenda-
tion. The S.G.A. et. al. came through for once.

And it disproves the idea that, around here, there ain't no use.
So start griping, all of you. (Tell it to me, and I'll put it in the
paper.)

Wallace Schmallace. It seems to me, now, that all our Mr. Wal-
lace is doing is politicking. Definitely, he is keeping himself before
the public. How much else he is accomplishing is another matter.

There may be a "principle of the thing" somewhere, but, Mr.
Wallace, like the Hippies, may prove when it's over that you'd best
do your thing within the bounds of convention (the two-party sys-
tem in this instance).

A curiosity: I saw in the paper that Wallace used the interest-
ing term "pseudo-intellectual" twenty-nine times in one of his
speeches. Funny thing about that . . . People've been kicking out
the bannisters on the big stairway in Main. I've never seen it hap-
pen, but every day, nearly, you see some new splintered posts lying
around. Of course, now, I guess, they'll all be gone tomorrow.

(At this writing): Hey, listen! Nobody's painted a picture on the
Tea House window yet!

Well After 5:00 a.m. This thing has turned out pretty trivial
and foolish— a sort of late-night Sgt. Pepper's of the editorial page.
Slide your cards and letters under the Tower door and let us know
what you think about it.

Coming soon: Look for a full-length, single-item, editorial on
. . . The Hippies! Also, an up-to-date report on the sterilization of
Main (including a progress-report of the developing tuberculosis
of this writer—due, of course, to the conditions in that same build-
ing).

Say?"

The Great Society

By Margo Stephenson

Either the spirit of Christmas has moved our basketball team
this year or it's the lasting spirit o'f winners. This year should
prove to be A.C.'s best. With the support of the school behind the
team and their determination, we should see a great season.

Speaking of the spirit's moving people. The girls in Napier
should have been moved the other night when the fire broke out.
How anyone could be be so afraid of a bunch of senior women with
painted faces is beyond me. From what I've heard, the scene must
have resembled the seige of the Alamo. Senior women always get
there when least expected anyway, and I've never heard of the
death penalty being imposed on anyone during the march.

Leaving such a fiery subject and turning to a nicer one, it's
that time of year —

Christmas time is here, by golly,
Tis the season to be jolly.
Five more days is such a treat,
Our heads of state just can't be beat.
Ther change of heart, we just must say-
Thought we'd never see the day.
The Chrstmas season has filled the air. As chimes ring out
over the campus and dorm doors are decorated, even the most sour
dissenters can be heard humming carols as they trudge to class.
Our biggest treat was the surprise from the Administration. They
commended the students; well, we commend them too. It will in-
deed be a MERRY CHRISTMAS and a Happy New Year.

Students Do Campus Proud

Releases from college press services alternately
vilify "fuddy-duddy" administrations and glorify
valiant student activists. Singled out for castiga-
tion are those backward college officials who still
think they should have something to do with the
running of schools. Conversely, students whose
mission it is to declare freedom from all forms
of guidance and authority are considered greatly
progressive.

The same news services request from local pa-
pers evidence of administration-student conflict,
preferably — they add — on some widely controver-
sial issue.

It is regrettable that the press chooses only to
report the negative aspects of relations between
students and administrators. In concentrating so
entirely on problems which divide a campus into
"armed camps", the fact that the goals of the
two should be firmly allied is obscured. So fas-
cinating does the subject of student militancy
become that the barriers it presents to communi-
cations between students and administration are
ignored.

The side of the coin not reported proves,
the other hand,- that "good news is no news."
on many campuses the goals of students and
ministration, if not always precisely the same,
open to reasonable discussion through recog-
channels.

Alabama College seems to be one 1 such pi
judging from recent student-administration c-
ferences concerning the Christmas holiday sch
ule. Student leaders should be congratulated
their mature attitude in seeking the ch
through proper channels. Encouragingly,
didn't make network television by mar-
around with inane signs or by lying down in
lobby of Palmer Hall. At a time when stu
activists in other parts of the country are ma
ridiculous demands about controlling curricul
and faculty hirings or firings, the reasonablen
of the students in gratifying.

Judging from the results of the students'
forts, the administration has proven it
willingly to reasonable requests.

Teacher

Encourages

Students

By Fay Tate

Faculty members of a school
are very important people for
very important reasons. After all,
without them what would college
life be for us? This group of
people can be valuable to stu-
dents in many ways.

Besides being just instructors,
tfhey can also be a friend in
time of need. These people usu-
ally have a very intent ear when
someone is needed to listen to
a problem and they always have
an answer for the ever-rising
question.

We must certainly agree that
here at Alabama College, we have
some of the most outstanding of
all faculty members. Mrs. Mar-
volin Stephens is one of this out-
standing group.

A teacher of freshman foods
and nutrition for majors, Mrs.
Stephens is here at Alabama Col-
lege on a government fellowship.
She is teaching in Mrs. Carlisle's
place while the latter is doing
further study.

A former student of Alabama
College, Mrs. Stephens is origin-
ally from Dechard, Tennessee.
She attended high school at
Franklin County High School
where she was very active in
4-H Club, Honor D Club, and the
National Honor Society. A very
active worker in all her speech
classes, Mrs. Stephens had plan-
ned in high school to major in
speech during her college years.

Upon graduation from high
school, Mrs. Stephens attended a
speech and arts school; but be-
fore majoring in speech in col-
lege she married and this po-
tential speech major became a
major in home economics.

She received her B.S. in 1959
and her M.A.T. in 1962, both
from Alabama College. She also
studied interior decoration at the
University Center in Birmingham
and has put her knowledge of in-
terior decoration to a good use
in a lovely new home of which
she designed the entire indoors.

Mrs. Stephens is married to a
bookkeeper for Sherman Holland
Motor Company, and they have
a son who is a senior at Marion
Military Institute. She declares
that she loves teenagers and loves
working with them. This is prov-
en by the fact that she has
taught home economics at Thomp-
son High School for the past
seven years.

When asked if she had any
words of advice for college stu-
dents she answered, "Do not get
discouraged or give up. Just keep
trying."

"Joe Rumore! There! Ain't I s'posed to get six hunnerd

"Naw! Ah don't know where ah be. Wait a minit, ah'll get one

Joe whistles a little bit to pass the time, and finally plays a
record. He talks some more, and plays two more records. Finally
the phone thunders in his ear.

Hey, Joe! Naw, ah aint on no page 461!"

"Aw, what a shame!" A pause. "Well, where are you, thi
neighbor?"

"Hmmmm? Oh! Lessee — wait a minit . . ."

"Hey, Joe! Ah'm on page 244, 'bout haifway down th' third

Mildred Beene of Box 312, Route 2, Sumiton, we'll get that

"But ah'm Pearl Plunkett of Box 101, Route ,1 Dixie Mills!"

There is another awful pause before Joe plays a record. SW
must think she can get away with it.

has been rescheduled after the
holidays to January 13, 10:00 a.m.
at Montevallo High School sta-
dium.

The game will pit the Inter-
Social Club Council against the

to "draft" two players indepen-
dently from the student body.
Players selected were: Neil Hodo,
Danny Loftin, Ken Roberson,
Chris Jebeles, Mike Young,
George Walker and Leon Moore.

Practice will begin January 3
in shorts, shirts and headgear.
After a few days of conditioning
and organizing, the I.S.C.C. will
go into pads and prepare for the
actual contest.

As mentioned in the previous
article, the I.S.C.C. is in need of
equipment; any aid along this
line will be greately appreciated.

UnderWay To Good Start

Men's intramural basketball
here at Alabama College is well
under way with a total of twelve
teams participating in the pro-
gram.

Floor action has been taking
place every Monday and Tuesday
at Myrick Hall and every Wednes-
day and Thursday at Bibb Graves
Gym for the past month.

A heavy schedule for each team
was the result of the large num-
ber of teams, with each one
playing nine games in a period
of a month.

Only two teams have emerged
so far as undefeated this season.
Neither the Meisters nor Fourth
Central have yet to taste defeat.
However, when Fourth Central
meets the Meisters later this week
the winner of the conference will
be decided.

The* top four teams of the con-
ference will go into the playoff
tournament as soon as the regu-
lar play is through.

The Meisters have a strong
team in the rebounding of Larry
Patterson and the fine shooting
of Mike Hayes. The team is
rounded out with the consistent
ball playing of James Carter, Ed
Briggs and Jim Hermecz.

The only other undefeated team,
a well rounded Fourth Central
squad, plays a hard, fast game.
Their back three consists of Ray
Davis, Doug McCay, and Darryl
Baygents. Two of their best ball
handlers are their guards, Jim
Threet and Buddy McGuire.

Playing close behind these two
top teams are the Sigmas with
two losses. Strong for them are
center, Rick Spitler, and guard,
Buddy Long.

Also in the top five are First
West Main and Third West Main.
First West is led by Junior Mur-
ray, a strong shooter, while Luke
Anastaskis and Jim Davis are
leading Third West.

Tournament play should produce
some good ball playing and tight
competition between the top four
teams.

Anybody who has seen the Falcons' home games this year knows
that something is different; the A.C. basketball team is playing some
tremendous basketball. And who would ask for more excitement?

Two nights in a row the Falcons lost by 3 points, once to Jack-
sonville and once to LaGrange. If you remember, Jax State ran over
the Falcons last year.

Traveling down to Mobile we met the University of South Ala-
bama and finally won a close one 86-85. Mike Killimet came up with
some last minute free-throw shooting to give A.C. the edge.

I had the experience of seeing the Falcons beat Shorter College
in the opening Kiwanis Tip-Off Tournament at Rome, Ga.

They played better that night than I've ever seen them play be-
fore. With Ezell pouring in his patented^Jtimp shot and Butler scor-
ing even more than Ezell and Killimet looking more and more like
Bob Causey, the Falcons easily rolled over Shorter.

Coach Davis said after the game, "I'm tickled pink." Most ap-
propriate.

They played as well against Jacksonville and LaGrange, but just
didn't get the breaks. The excitement, however, kept us all on our
feet right until the end.

It goes without saying that Henry Ezell's shooting from the field
is excellent. Some of those shots he made in the two home games
were downright hypnotic.

And what about Ralph Butler? He's not the same old Ralph,,
that's for sure. I dont believe I've ever seen one player improve
so much in one year. He is hitting at about a 20 point clip per
game. More important is the fact that his presence on the court
seems to give the team confidence in themselves. Got to watch
those fouls though, Ralph!

The whole team is playing more organized, more polished bas-
ketball. Mark Riggins, Bill Roundtree, George Johnston and Mike
Killimet have all improved.

Killimet is one of the most underrated players in the league.
His scoring and playmaking abilities give the Falcons two of the
best guards in the league.

If Roundtree's knee can stay well, Bill could develop into an
All-Conference type player. Mark Riggins and George Johnston
round out the starting squad. Mark's leadership is one of the rea-
sons the team is playing so much better this year.

With a strong bench and some good freshmen, the Falcons
could easily be a top contender in the A.C.C. this year. Only 6
points have separated them from a 5-2 record. As it stands the rec-
ord is 3-4 overall and 0-2 in the conference.

Win or lose, you better take a Sominex and an Alka-Seltzer to
the games from now on. If what we've seen is any indication of
what's to come, you'll need them.

Social Clubs
And Council
ChangeNames

Efforts by the three male so-
cial clubs and Inter-social Club
Council to partially smooth the
way for national fraternities at
A.C. were successfully initiated
recently, when the clubs received
permission to name their organi-
zations by three Greek letters
and the Council for a new name,
Inter-fraternal Council

Petitions for the changes were
submitted by the clubs and 1SF
(IFC) president Mike Malone to
the faculty committee on organi-
zations, headed by Dr. Ben
Dukes.

That committee's recommenda-
tions to approve the new naming
policy were forwarded to college
President Delos P. Culp, whose
official approval came in Jan-
uary.

The approved policy went into
effect immediately, with the ICS
becoming the Inter - fraternal
Council, upon notification of
president Mike Malone.

The Sigma Social Club has an-
nounced change of its name to
local fraternity Theta Sigma Chi,
Alpha Chapter. Meisters and
Deltas, pending adoption of per-
manent new names, will be re-
ferred to as Phi Alpha and Del-
ta KKappas, respectively .

SGA Officers
To Conduct
SUSGA Panel

Representatives of the Alabama
College Student Government As-
sociation were invited recently by
Luther Horton, Chairman of
Southern University Student Gov-
ernment Association (SUSGA), to
participate in a panel discussion
on honor systems and judiciaries.

Horton, who attended the Ala-
bama SUSGA Convention at Sam-
ford University in November, was
much impressed with A.C.'s hon-
or system, spotlighted among the
141 colleges and universities rep-
resented. He extended the invita-
tion to conduct a panel discus-
sion to Student Honor Court
Chief Justice Mike Malone and
SGA President James Hayes,
along with representatives from
three other colleges.

The pair will travel to Biloxi,
Mississippi, where the General
Convention will be held at Ogle-
thorpe University.

A.C. BEAUTIES — Montage beauties, chosen from 15 semi-finalists at the Beauty Ball, are Miss Bob-
bie Herlong, Eufaula, Miss Sheron Campbell, Montgomery, Miss Jenny Lind, Birmingham (front

mondson, Montgomery (top).

Geologist Is Honored

Dr. James F. L. Connell, pro-
fessor of geology at Alabama Col-
lege, has been selected for listing
in the Dictionary of International
Biography, soon to be published
at Suffolk, England and circulated
world-wide.

Connell was notified recently of
his selection to the publication's
fifth edition by general editor Dr.
Ernest Kay.

The international volume is a
record of contemporary achieve-
ment, according to Dr. Kay, and
"plays a considerable part in
strengthening the links between
men of science, arts and letters
among the United States, the Uni-
ted Kingdom and Continental Eu-
rope."

He noted that those to be listed
ar e "painstakingly selected" for
achievement in their particular
fields. The London Daily Mail ob-
served that "inclusion in this
splendid publication is a sign of
having 'arrived' in one's particu-
larly scholarly activity."
Connell has been a faculty
• .member at Alabama College since
Sept. 1962. A native of Baltimore,
J e received his BS degree from
Ls U and his MS and Ph.D de-

grees from the University of Ok-
lahoma.

He was a commando in the Ro-
yal Canadian Army during World
War II, having served in the U.S.
armed forces prior to the war.

He is recognized as one of the
region's foremost geologists. He
has written numerous manuals
and textbook sections, and his
articles have appeared in leading
professional journals.

College Choir
Prepares For
Competition

By Nancy Boyer

"Chorus number one" resound-
ed from Palmer balcony, twin
wheels spun and some fifty
voices, the A.C. Choir, began
the "Stabat Mater." The record-
ing of the Poulenc music is to
be an auditioning tape for a
state-wide competition, sponsored
by the Birmingham Music Club,
among colleges and universities
for a $500 prize and several tele-
vision and live performances.

Confident that the College Choir
will be among the top four, Mr.
Bruce Tolbert, director, has be-
gun work on a wide variety of
concert numbers— from the sub-
lime "How Beautiful the Queen
of the Night" and Victoria's "0
Magnum Mysterium" to the ri-
diculous—Hunter's "Mother Goose
Rhymes" and Bryant's "The Aria
of a Regular Polygon." All will
be topped off by "The Sounding
of the Seven Trumpets," a fan-
tasy of narration, song, various
choral sound effects, tumpets,
tympani and water gong.

Mr. Tolbert has also said that
Mr. Ted Pritchett, director of
the Chamber Choir and Chorale
and an accomplished arranger
(remember last year "What the
World Needs Now", "King of the
Road", "Impossible Dream"?)
is working on another hit for the
choir which will include The
Canterbury Trio.

The competition winners will
be revealed in the early spring
and if the expectations of Mr.
Tolbert and the choir members
come true, which surely they
will, the College Choir will be
proud Ambassador of Alabama
College throughout the state.

Y.A.F. Group
Organized
On Campus

Announced early this month at
A.C. was the formation of a new
student organization, Young
Americans for Freedom.

As a new member of a national
organization with chapters on
most major U.S. college campus-
es, the group claims an excep-
tionally high average membership
increase of 1000 students per
month since its inception in 1960.

Among national advisors for the
group are Barry Goldwater, Ro-
nald Reagan, Strom Thurmond,
William Buckley, and John
Wayne. Prominent Alabama sup-
porters include Congressman
Buchanan, Jim Martin and
George Wallace.

Says chairman of the new A.C.
chapter, Rick Forsman, "This
group is primarily interested in
presenting pro-American and pat-
riotic programs in such a way
that they will stir some interest
in normally apethetic college stu-
dents."

The new chapter has close to
twenty members. Faculty advisor
is John Finley of the English fac-
ulty; chairman, Rick Forsman;
vice-chairman, Ronald Pate; sec-
retary, Janet Mardis; treasurer,
Mike Holland.

AH students are eligible for
membership.

Lotch Contraband

By Keith Harrelson

People have been poking at me to put something controversial
in the paper for a long time, and, much as I hate to do it, I sup-
pose I might as well. Don't expect any more of it, though, because
(and I quote Mick Jagger) this could be the last time. I'm not
good at it, and I don't feel strongly enough about anything to get
vehement over it, but I guess I'll have to show you that in this
issue. All right—

Another one of those famous flyers came swishing under the
door of my room this afternoon, and I immediately picked it up to
read it. You see, I learned to do that not long ago, because I had
been ignoring these things since the start, of the year, and I got
into a bit of trouble about it. It happens that I ignored the one
from Dean Wilkinson about making the Main fire extinguishers
"taboo-to-touch", and when he caught me drinking out of one of
them, he gave me a severe punishment — he made me a member of
the ACFD. But that's another story.

Anyhow, this one was mimeographed, and I frowned vaguely
like the "normally apathetic college student" as I realized it wasn't
from Deano. "Y.A.F." Hmmmm . . . (hummed I) . . . what could
that stand for? Yiddish Air Force? Yoga Advocates of the Faculty?
Oh . . . Young Americans for Freedom. Oh . . . well . . . hmph.
I tend to automatically class this kind of thing with the John Birch
Society and the Black Muslims and SNCC and all the other groups
that seem to want to get out on the grass and fight somebody just
for the sake of a fight. All right, let them have their way, that's
them, not me. I'll read it.

"Official Newsletter, Issue No. 1". (Shows confidence . . .)
. . . "an energetic organization . . ." (They all start out that way
. . .) "The purpose of this conservative organization . . ." (Apply-
ing that word to themselves?) "Among its national supporters are
. . . Johy Wayne . . ." (Any kin to John Wayne? How about Johy
Heatherton?) "... if you are not familiar with all of these men
. . . (Yeah, who is this "George C. Wallace" character?) "Already
we have close to twenty paid members . . ." Here I started to read
more carefully, because I wanted to know who pays them. Ah hah,
here's the officers . . . what's this? "Speak Out" . . . well . . .

Halfway through this tail end of "Issue One" I was raked with
a wave of incredulous laughter, wide-eyed at the shovelful of
hypocrisy that had just hit me in the face. I shall explain . . .

This "Speak Out" is a villifying blast against our campus "sole-
brothers" (I wonder if they're anything like soul-brothers?), who
are undermining our nation's safety and way of life by way of their
"Gene Autrey" and "Bozo" costumes. Okay, ties for Sunday dinner,
that's all right, I like that, too. But you can't get anything straight
with this clothes affair— it's a bottomless pit of controversy filled
with the bitterest mud that can be flung. And how many times have
you gone in there without a tie and been served anyway? Every
time, of course. Because forgiving human beings operate the cafe-
teria. Really, no sarcasm intended. You ought to make more than
"infrequent" visits there.

Now consider these quotes from the top half of this "Action
Lowdon" — "What we need are people who will stand up and say
what they think and not be afraid to say it." "All of us should
take pride in being described as 'different' when we disagree . . ."
Please excuse the quotes from context, but I think they are ap-
plicable.

Dissent, gentlemen, is a good and necessary outlet, as you your-
self show by your defaming reference to the cafeteria food. Don't
bother these people with underhanded personal remarks— they are
themselves, and seem to be happy with it. It's really none of your
business.

I shall ask Carol Weir to save space for the blistering editorial
reply I expect Mr. Forsman to gnash out by the next time. Mean-
while, though, Rick— are you going to see that the cafeteria chicken
doesn't wear its hair too long?

By Carol A. Weir

In a past editorial, "Good Riddance to Ridicu-
lous Rules", unenforceable and unfair S.G.A.
regulations were lambasted. No visible changes
(predictably) have resulted, but the matter is
said to be under S.G.A. "consideration".

A related question presently
before the campus again calls
attention to the fact that
S.G.A. must trim its list and
put teeth into the rules that
exist.

The question is, of course,
the furor resulting from "Ac-
tion Lowdown" over unortho-
dox Sunday attire. Is there a
fair and enforceable S.G.A.
rule? The Fledgling is very clear in the matter
(p. 54, Sec. G.3): "Dress up attire shall ... be
worn for Sunday dinner. (For men, shirts and
ties and for women, flats or heels)."

It is difficult to see or prove unfairness or un-
enforceability for this rule. First, the S.G.A., in
making such a regulation, seems to be acting
wisely from the standpoint of human nature.
People need formality or ritual. A case in point
is the football mania. Surely the spectacle and
ritual connected with "dressing up" to sit and
shiver in the stands in sub-zero weather is nearly
as responsible for the turn-outs as the game

itself. (After all, many games can be seen bel
on television.) What is unfair about observing a
convention in the same vein at Sunday dinner
or in Palmer Hall, or in Reynolds Hall?

Furthermore those who violate society's self,
imposed ritual may expect, human nature as it
si, to be ostracized. Their howls of injured out.
rage about freedom are a waste of breath, be-
cause the remainder of the population is just
as free to express its disapproval. And with ma-
jority rule, that remainder of the population is
and should be able to formulate rules concerning
socially acceptable behavior. Those who wish are
free to break them, of course; they are also
"free" to suffer the consequences.

A second question, aside from fairness, is the
enforceability of the rule. There is no difficulty
for persons of normal vision in deciding whether
the S.G.A. criterion has been met. The require-
ment is clearly stated; those who do not meet
it are breaking a rule — one which should be en-
forced if it is to exist.'

The Alabamian then favors a specific state-
ment of penalties for failure to comply with
dress regulations in the dining hall and enforce-
ment of those penaltigs in the future.

*Ed. Note: It is fully the responsibility of the
S.G.A. to enforce this rule. Cafeteria personnel
are not employed to police the dining hall.

Letters To The Editor

To The Editor:

I greeted the announcement of
the new "Young Americans for
Freedom" on campus with my
usual disinterested attitude to-
ward political organizations. It
described itself as 1 a conservation
group interested in "political
views, government actions, and
current events," whose aim was
to become involved in something

more than "gossip and SUB
chatter." At the bottom of ttu
page, however, was a disturbing
and disillusioning editorial writ-
ten by two of its members.

The article concerned the attire
worn by certain individuals to
Sunday dinner and events in Pal-
mer. They expressed the opinion
that these people shouldn't be al-
lowed to do such things, since the
SGA has rules against it.

The article was rather irration-
al, and seemed to be based on
emotional beliefs rather than logi-
cal conclusions.

Of course, it was disappointing
for a national political organiza-
tion of supposedly high aspira-
tions, one which was to rise
above gossip, to refute its own
purpose with a trite, insignificant
article on a petty subject; and
that article was an attack on the
freedom of personal habits.
Young Americans for Freedom?

The article was alarmingly dog-
matic. Its basic concept of liberty
was opposite from that which it
says it supports. Why the type
(as opposed to the degree) of clo-
thing an individual prefers to
wear should upset someone else
so much, I'll never understand.
The author implied that it is sac-
• religous to wear certain clothing
on Sunday. If so, they were atta-
ching spiritual value to inani-
mate, external objects, which is
not only petty, but foreign to con-
servation and the Christian doct-
rine.

The authors falsely assumed
that SGA rules are enforceable.
The obvious fact that they are
broken by the scores everyday,
by many people, disproves that.
The "Fledging" is full of trite,
petty rules hat everybody ignores
(as clearly shown by recent Ala-
bamian editorials.) And of value
is an unenforceable regulation?

What the article did do, unin-
tentionly, was to trenchantly point
to the absurdities of many SGA
regulations.

Signed,

Robert Walters

To The Editor:

I recently received the "Action
Lowdown" — that's a circular dis-
tributed in the dorms by the cam-
pus Young Americans for Free-
dom. The first half of the letter
introduced the organization, which
to my way of thinking sounds like
a fine and valuable idea — on pa-
per. There is certainly a growing
lack of understanding of the tra-
ditional American ideals, and a
correspondent (I think conse-
quent) drift toward socialism in
America. Something must indeed
be done in our generation if we
are to retain (regain?) our free-
dom as Americans.

So far so good — but something
else creeped in, something for-
eign. Seems the action lowdown
got infiltrated. Right down center,

big as life, hobbled old Hate (i
he American?) in all his superfi
cial glory. He stuck it out right
to the end— spent most of hi
time engaged in his favorite ;
sports (Paranoia, Guilt by Associ-
ation) and the rest, perfecting his
own brand of black humor— very
black. He exhibited his love
freedom by glueing on labels and
telling other people they were
running there lives all wrong. Old
Hate doesn't seem to realize that
the "other people" are people
just the same. Maybe that's why
his archfoe Love seems to have
gained some votes lately.

What a pity that conservatism
on our campus must be represent-
ed by such careless and intole
ant prattle as the first "Actio
Lowdown."

Well, hello, everybody out there in newspaper land. Friends,
here's the latest in gripes from A Number One. The editorial with
the funny name. . . .

You know, over Christmas we got some fire sprinklers— bi
nickel-plated-uns — for our room in Main. Santy Claus of the cm
struction crew also brought us a closet door — and mud all over the
rug.

They still didn't fix that broken heating vent. It's still perma-
nently shut. But it doesn't matter — almost enough hot air leaks to
to start the sprinklers.

Well, now, I hope everybody realizes that the intentions of this
column are really completely good-natured — yeah. (No reason not
laugh at our pathetic circumstances!)

By the way! I spent all this afternoon chasing a mouse arouno
the room. I cornered it behind the bookcase, and would h aV
stomped it — but I had my good shoes on.

So much for Old Main. You've heard, of course, that board-
the stuff they sling at Anna Irvin — is going up $17.33. Yes, and thw
can't even keep green olives on the ol' salad table. Bad.

Enough of this griping. (There's a better, colloquial, word *
it — as people have been telling me.)

* * * her

The spinning of the universe's invisible rings has begun anoth

cycle. Any of the symbolization of Christmas seems to have bee
forgotten with the dawning of December 26 — or perhaps with
realization of Christmas day itself. That stoked-up Hope which
prayerfully, hopefully, survived the bacchanalia finds resoluten
stifled by the distraction of an old year's finals. Any loving dete" 11
nation still left at the fore must acknowledge that it exists 1" j
nation that, no-matter-what, is at war— the killing business. ,.

I think that, walking to supper — about sunset time — we had '
ter all stop and consider that ball of fire, with our own pragJ" 8 ^
conceptions. And with our faces heavenward let us realize that ^
sun hangs there, despite our presumptions, without our having
ed such an honor.

Juniors Defeat Freshmen

By G. Ann Smith
Women's Sports Editor

Girls' basketball intramurals came to a spirited end January 4th
as the Juniors defeated the Freshman team after several weeks of
round-robin and elimination tournaments. The Juniors saw to it that
the final game was no ordinary one — dressed alike with matching
shorts, shirts, knee-socks and crazy hats they definitely added per-
sonality to the game. But, evidently, personality was not all they
had to offer, for while the Freshmen played extremely well, the
scoreboard still showed the Juniors the championship winners with
a score of 35 to 30.

As basketball ends, other intramural sports are just beginning.
Beginning February 5th badminton and table tennis will hold the
spotlight in Myrick Hall. These two sports are open to both boys
and girls and those interested may come down each afternoon at
4:00 and participate in the intramural aspect of the program or
they may just play for fun and not enter the tournament itself.

Another aspect of the winter intramural program, and a rather
new one here at A.C., is bowling intramurals. It begins February
26 This is the second year we've had bowling intramurals, and we're
hoping for an even larger turn-out than last year.

If you're interested in either of the sports you may contact
Diane Higginbotham or Jody Holcrome about badminton; Janice
Tarrant or Shirley Wallace about table tennis; and Beth Molds or
p aye King about bowling.

Team Fells Four

By Bill Toms
Sports Editor

The story of the Fighting Falcons, a parody of Dr. Jekyl and
Mr. Hyde, reached full force in the last five balls games, as the
Falcons drank a super tonic and turned into a flock of raging
pterodactyl, ravaging the Livingston State Tigers (twice), the Ath-
ens Bears, and the Huntingdon Hawks, before falling to the St. Ber-
nard Saints. In this game the Falcons displayed an uncanny amount
of bad luck, which leads me to believe that the Saints did not rely
entirely on their earthly powers to win that one.

The Flying Falcons, Henry Ezell and Ralph Butler, fired through
in the last five games to lead the A.C. squad. Big Ralph, who gets
the Sophia Loren award for The Most Improved Player From Ala-
bama College Representing The Legion of Non-Italian Hardcourt
Heroes, has been cashing in on those jump shots, where there's al-
ways three players from the opposition hanging onto him as he
takes the shot, for an 18-point seasonal average. And slick Ezell,
with his usual divinely-guided shots, kept his average at 20 points
per game.

A rather pleasant surprise was the discovery of Dan Nelson.
From his dusty bench tomb Dan was called on to serve the living.
He responded so well that Coach Davis sees Dan as the Falcons'
answer to John Havlicek of the Boston Celtics.

One by one, the perennial A.C.C. powers left the Falcons stun-
ned, humiliated and on the short end of a very long stick.

A.C. 85 Livingston (Blue-Gray) 73

A.C. 97 Athens 83

A.C. 96 Livingston 77

A.C. 77 Huntingdon 64
That made it four in a row, and we evened our seasonal record at
7 wins and 7 losses. The sweetest win came against the Blue-Gray
champions, Huntingdon, which had defeated our boys at the same
tournament 96-69 after we had led 40-38 in the first half. In the Big
Bird Fight down in the gym, the Hawks met the Falcons sure of
another easy win. But this time the Hawks faced a "bird of another
color." The Falcons clawed the Hawks to defeat with Ace leading
the spirited crowd of believers.

Then it happened; the spell was broken by St. Bernard, who
got every break of the game, as they beat the Falcons 84-74.

The next home game will be after our fun-filled finals, against
a Troy State team which has just returned from a two-week Euro-
pean basketball trip. Need I say more! Troy leads the conference.
The Falcons have played Troy once before this season; it was a
close game. If some of our magic can be restored and everybody
makes it through finals (we could use a little magic there), I think
Troy might be eating out at Lib's after the game instead of at the
Union of Students.

SCHOLARSHIPS
BY COMPUTER

Last year $30 million in college schol-
arships went unclaimed — because no
qualified persons applied . . . because
no qualified persons knew of them.

• Now ECS engineers and educators
have programmed a high-speed com-
puter with 700,000 items of scholastic
aid, worth over $500 million, to permit
students to easily and quickly locate
scholarships for which they qualify.

• The student fills out a detailed, con-
fidential questionnaire and returns it to
ECS, with a one-time computer-proces-
sing fee of $15. In seconds the compu-
ter compares his qualifications against
requirements of grants set up by foun-
dations, business, civic, fraternal, re-
ligious, and government organizations,
and prints a personalized report to
the student telling him where and when
to apply for grants for which he qual-
ifies. Thousands of these do not depend
on scholastic standing or financial need.

THE ALABAMIAN, Alabama Col

The Great Society

By Margo Stephenson

The team of espionage agents
crept from their central head-
quarters through the back coun-
try and into the enemy camp.
With the bonging of the death
march signal, the hideous mes-
sengers of doom oozed through
halls spreading what they term-
ed a morning greeting.

The visit of aliens was not
seen through cheerful eyes and
the invaders were met with what
they termed verbal protest. The
moment of terror ended and the
reversed Cinderellas receded back
from whence they came, leaving
the enemy unharmed.

Unharmed? Well, this time they
did. Dry runs are only a part
of the intricate guerilla training
the troops have been enduring
and they are now anxious to get
into action. It won't be long now
before they really march and
annihilate.

A.C. appears to be the up and
coming fashion center of Ameri-
ca. Having read somewhere that
we are in the eye of the free
world, I thought I'd give you a
few tips on how to keep up with
the times and be a conservative
dresser.

1. Never wear black. It con-
notes evil. The new color is
Young Goodman Brown.

2. Never wear pink— it's vi
poor taste to show your
this season.

3. Never buy anything
it has "Sanforized by
aid Reagan" on the label

4. If you want to be the
at the next campus fun
go disguised as Gene
Bozo. You will create rm
hot air than Lawrence Wi
bubble machine.

5. Last but not least— never
feat your purpose by &
ing out your own fasl
circulars.

Snow hit the campus Satu
night and although it wi__
much, it was enough to warn
boots, wool gloves and
romping by the students. Tri

students took to the slopes

The snow soon disappear
from the ground leaving oi
mud but this did not seem
dampen the spirits of the hardy.
On they played and as night fell
that Sunday there was mui
speculation and debate on cl
es being held Monday.

Much to everyone's disa;
ment, A.C. runs on the Ma:
man's Creed and classes did
sume Monday. All we have left
to remind us of the fun are the
tire tracks that grace the quad
rangles.

Part I of a Big Ly* Serial
By John Carothers

John Q. Applescratch, mild
mannered music major and mod-
el male student, with his neatly
waxed crew cut and high topped
P. F. Flyers, should appear quite
harmless to the average person.

He is, in actuality, a secret
agent for G.O.O.D., an organiza-
tion, under the direction of the
president**, designed to fight
evil in every way. On duty
twenty-four hours a day, Apple-
scratch is the constant foe of
sinister forces who would, if un-
checked, conquer the world. The
real name of our hero is kept a
secret for his own protection.
He would, however, share his
past adventures so that the pub-
lic might be better informed
about their government's con-
stant actions to protect them
from having to do anything on
their own. Without further com-
ment I shall present Mr. Apple-
scratch's account of his last ad-
venture.

Main Residence Hall, Dec. 7,
3;01 a.m. It was a. bitter cold
night, the wind was howling out-
side my window, my roommates
were snoring loudly and I was
feeling quite restless. 3:03, I
jumped out of bed. I had de-
cided to go walk ofif my tension.
3:03, I picked up my shoes, pour-
ed out several cubic feet of
dust that had accumulated since
early evening, and secured them
on my feet. As I threw open the
door, I was viciously attacked by
some falling plaster from the
beautiful surroundings. Swiftly,
I dashed out into the hall. The
heat was stifling. 3:06, the blind-
ingly lit corridor revealed sev-
eral large rats as they scurried
along the marred floor. From
there I proceeded to the men-
acing staircase, directly ahead.
3:09, I placed my hand cautious-
ly on the railing. In a flash of
an instant several sections of
the bannister plummeted through
space, crashing on a section of
steps, seventy feet below. Gosh!
That was close, I muttered, wip-
ing the sweat from my brow.
3:11, I proceeded cautiously,
once more descending the stair-
case. Once, my foot sank into

the dust, as I stepped off of the
stairs on to what I thought to
be the next floor level. My
whole body was almost engulfed
in the evil substance.

3:15, I reached the ground
floor. From here I would pro-
ceed to the basement. 3:20, I
entered the basement and was
brought to a halt as I came to
what appeared to be one of the
temporary looking plasterboard
walls, that were being so rapid-
ly thrown up all over the inside
of the dormitory. 3:23, I ap-
proached the wall cautiously,
there was an eerie looking glow
emanating from a fairly large
crack in the wall, produced
where two sections of the board
had warped. Once I heard what
seemed to be a wicked, high
pitched, sadastic cackle, from
behind the wall. I slowly ad-
vanced to the point where I
could peer through the opening.
3.26, I was horrified at the sight.

There was a hunchback, a
shriveled up little old man, howl-
ing with glee as he wielded a
snow shovel, transferring mounds
of dust from a conveyor belt
into a huge mechanism — a giant
blower of some sort. Doubtless,
he was at this moment piping
this dust to all sections of the
building through its fabulous air
conditioning system. The dust
on the conveyor was coming out
of a large machine that I recog-
nized immediately as an auto-
matic dust-making machine***,
used by the movie industry for
creating realistic affect on the
sets of old ruins, haunted houses,
etc. 3:30, I could not longer
stand by idly, while this terrible
evil was being done. 3:35, I
courageously ripped down the
wall panel before me and sent
it crashing to the floor. I dash-
ed, bravely, into the hidden
room. The little old man spotted
me immediately. 3:37, he hurled
his shovel in my direction, miss-
ing me by inches. 3:37%, he
was in a rage, turning toward
me, he slowly, methodically ad-
vanced in .my direction. 3:38y4,
still advancing, there was a
strange fiery glow in his eyes
and he laughed hideously as he
waved a poison toothpick from
Lib's, a suspected front for G.R.
TJ.N.G.E. (Grand Rascals Unit-
ed Network for Gory Edibles).

3:39, I cautiously took a step
backwards. In the next terrible
second I fell with a hideous
horrifying shriek. The little
beast was on me before I had
time to know what was happen-
ing. I could see the toothpick in
his hand speeding toward my
eyes.

Probably everyone has wonder-
ed how a tradition as elaborate
and unique as College Night came
to be. For College Night pomp
and circumstance arouses rough-
ly the same attention and loyalty
as football does on larger cam-
puses, and it is an institution
unlike any at any other schools.

College Night began in 1919
when A.C. was still the Alabama
Girls Industrial School. It was
to serve two purposes. One was
to celebrate George Washington's
birthday when there were few
other holidays to serve as ex-
cuse for festivities. (No offense
to George, but the girls on the
"Angel Farm", as it was called
by the boys from the Univer-
sity, were hard up for holidays.)

The second purpose for Col-
lege Night was that the girls'
technical school was outgrowing
its role as a secondary school
and becoming a college. The girls
of 1919 felt that since the school
was acquiring the status of a col-
lege, the students should take
up more "collegiate" entertain-
ments. A competition between
skits of the various classes was
the collegiate enterprise decided
upon.

The first College Night was
held in the dining hall (Old Main
dining hall) on a makeshift
stage, with each class responsible
for decorating its section of the
hall. One ingenious group, the
juniors, decorated its part of the
hall by suspending from the ceil-
ing black wire waste baskets
filled with daffodils from home.
This group won the first College
Night competition.

The contest, which was per-
formed in the dining hall until
1927, first used the terms Pur-
ple and Gold for the sides in
1924, to celebrate the school's 25th
birthday. Strangely enough, both
the Purples and the Golds won.
The Golds won in a performance
before the school. At a second
performance for the public in
Reynolds the people present vot-

ed that the purples should have
won, as the disgruntled Golds
protested.

From then until 1930, when Pal-
mer Hall was completed, College
Night was held in Reynolds and
was expanded to two perform-
ances, then to three in 1950.

As the tradition of College
Night became firmly entrenched,
its organization changed. Students
at first had no choice of sides,
but were chosen by the leaders,
who divided the school roll. One
leader got the even-numbered
students, the other odd-number-
ed students. Since a student had
little chance of being on the
same side each year, the focus
was kept on College Night rather
than on intense side loyalty. The
solution was extremely practical,
since virtually every student
lived on campus and took part
in the festivities.

One of the most bothersome
questions when A.C. became coed
was "but what about College
Night?" Nothing changed at all
—at first. The men eyed musical
comedies suspiciously and ex-
hibited Ittile enthusiasm for
theatrics. Then in 1959 a young
man appeared as Satan in "The
Man in the Red Flannel Suit."
Thereafter it was not considered
"sissy" to become involved in
College Night activities. Boys
were appointed as co-leaders for
the sides.

Despite the fact that the char-
acter of College Night has
changed drastically since that
first skit competition in Old
Main Dining Hall with the daffo-
dil-filled waste baskets and all,
it is still a tradition which stirs
college spirit. For some students
it is a feeling of belonging. For
many it is a memory of long
hours of work and great reward
for a job well done. For others
it is an outlet for creativity and
talent. For all it is fun and an
example of what people can ac-
complish when they work to-
gether.

B. Somers has announced

THE ALABAMIAN, Alabama Coll

Lotch Contrabnnd Dr - ^ u 'p Anc ' * am ''v Wi " Be Missed

By Keith Harrelson

Not long ago I happened to remember a story I had once heard
about a man who had either the nerve or the stupidity to walk a
tightrope stretched across the rapids below Niagara Halls. Since
then I've done a bit of research on the subject, and I have found
that the tale is true. The man was named Jean Francois Gravelet,
who used the nickname of "Blondin," presumably not only because
of his sandy-white hair, but also because it fit better on circus post-
ers. He was a locally renowned tightrope walker in his little French
hometown, and he heard about the riches that wewe to be made by
a man of almost any profession in America.

On night, during one of his frequent LSD-induced delusions of
grandeur, he swore loudly that he could cross Niagara Falls on a
tightrope if he wanted to. His wife, who was getting tired of him
anyway, challenged him to make good his boast. As he awoke from
his trip, he found himself on a trip of another sort — he was aboard
a New York steamer, sitting on a giant spool of two-inch steel
cable and coddling a 39-foot balancing pole.

Let me be brief in saying that after Blondin secured permis-
sion to kill himself from the National Park Service, and had
wobbled his way across the gorge once, the showmanship in him
took over. He decided to stay the summer of 1859 and pick up a
few dollars from the crowd of curious spectators that he knew
would show up. He soon gained the regutation of the "Hero of
Niagara," and he became more and more daring in his feats. For
example, he would dance and twirl like a fool in the middle of his
daily crossing, swinging his balance pole madly. Once he was quite
smug, and carried a small chair and table out there with him. He
proceeded to sit down and enjoy a meal of cake and champagne
that was raised to him on a rope from the "Maid of the Mist", 190
feet below.

But most interesting of all, he declared that on August 17, he
would cross again, this time carrying his 140-pound friend Harry
Colcord on his back. This came as a big surprise to everyone,
especially Harry Colcord, who was completely uninformed of the
proposal until he was subtly forced at gunpoint to climb on the

Dr. Culp and his family left Monday for his
new post at East Tennessee State University.
With them goes the best wishes and hearts of
everyone at AX.

Dr. Culp will be remembered along with other
great presidents of the college as an able adminis-
trator. His administration saw a student body
doubled. Five new buildings were added and plans
initiated for others in the near future.

He will be remembered for the dignity which
he brought to his office and the honors conferred
upon him by state and national governments in
serving education. And he will be remembered
because the things he did started in a one-room
school house in Chilton County.

All these things are a matter of record. His-

torians of the college will be able to see
factual evidence of Dr. Culp's presidency,
students and faculty who have had the privilee
of knowing him and his family will rememb
other things too.

They will remember the graciousness whic:
the Culps brought to Flower Hill. They will
call the charm and warmth of the President 1
home and of Mrs. Culp as a hostess. They
appreciate the fact that no group of students wa
too unimportant for the Culps' attention as
came to carol at Christinas or borrow the famo
tandem bicycle.

The Culps will occupy a place in the historian's
college records but they will also occupy a pla ce
in the hearts and minds of faculty and students
and they will be missed.

Falcons Versus Cow And Lion?

By Carol Weir

The College Night kettle is bubbling again.
Everyone, not having enough academic work to
occupy his time, is happy to see it arrive. A.C.
is showing its college spirit since the kick-off
of College Night.

The spirit is great — it's undeniable. But think-
ing of the old saw about moderation, let's not
let the pot boil over. When the tradition of Col-
lege Night began, it was the entire school which
was to be glorified, rather than the sides. While
this is still very much the case, it is not so di-
rectly evident. The fact bears repeating: College
Night should honor the whole school.

The first annual Homecoming was a fine tributi
to College Night's venerable history. And yet
Homecoming game did not seem to be the placi
for airing side loyalties, while the team was out
there doing its darndest against Florence. Ti
Falcons, not cows or lions, should have been
focal point.

Daresay this was the case at the Homecoming.
The Falcons were the center of attention. But
let's not establish a precedent that will be diffi-
cult to break. Intrascholastic rivalry has no place
at the Falcons' games.

Letters To The Editor Oreophila

Dear Editor.

The Alabama College YAF has
set as one of its primary objec-
tives that of stimulating interest
and provoking "thoughtful discus-
sion on the campus of topics of
concern to students in their role
as citizens." It seems as if we
have accomplished this — to a cer-
tain extent. The ones who have
been stirred, however, are the
ones who stay stirred; and, as
usual, there seems to have been
more "discussion" than thought!

After the initial examination
of the articles concerning "Ac-
tion Lowdown", it was evident
that only one columnist even
came close to discussing the is-
sue presented; and we would like
to commend Editor Carol Weir
for her frank and intelligent dis-
cussion of the topic, obedience
of rules. It was quite clear that
the remaining three writers were
more concerned with using hu-

morous literary tricks, gross mis-
statements, and intentional mis-
interpretations than in intelli-
gently discussing the issue pre-
sented in our column. We also
think that a majority of the stu-
dents could easily see that be-
hind this veneer of "humorous
hogwash" lay irresponsible re-
plies.

To those few who seem to have
found it hard to understand our
position, we shall reiterate: YAF
thinks that all students, whether
they are "way out and cool" or
conventional, should earnestly at-
tempt to obey all rules, regula-
tions and laws. We do not think
that any individual or "in group"
have the right to disregard rules
that they do not like. We are
not saying that we like all of the
rules; but as long as they are
official rules, obey them. Ala-
bama College students have cer-
tain procedures through which

UJh fch oNe. in ( lc $ £

rules may be changed, and if a
majority of the students want
the rules changed, they probably
will be. We used the issue of
dress and smoking in the Cafe-
teria and in Palmer only as ex-
amples of the situation.

We realize that certain indi-
viduals "missed" the point; but,
of course, this was to be ex-
pected.

To the Editor:

In regard to the last editorials,
concerning "Action Lowdown", I
would like to say that I support
the editors of that paper in ev-
ery respect. If the rules are to
be made then they are to be
obeyed, regardless of how trivial
they may seem. It is the respon-
sibility of each and every student
at A.C. to uphold the rules made
by the Student Government As-
sociation to the best of his abil-
ity.

Sincerely,

Michael Thigpen

To the Editor:

I was shocked at the reaction
to the first issue of "Action Low-
down."

First, I should like to make
clear a quotation from "Action
Lowdown" referred to in an edi-
torial in the January 18 edition
of the Alabamian. The quotation
given in the editorial was: "All
of us should take pride in being
described as different when we
disagree . . ." The rest of the
quote is: ". . . with socialistic
and communistic concepts".

I agree with Mr. Forsman that
"dress-up attire" should be worn
at Sunday-noon dinner and at
events in Palmer. In addition to
being offensive to other students,
often (in either place) there are
guests. As students, we are (at
least, should be) concerned with
our school's image. It is known
that most people remember the
bad things much sooner than they
do the good. (For example, the
idea that many adults have of
today's young people all being
"hippies".)

Although it may be a "petty
subject", it reveals a problem
which is plaguing our nation to-
day — whether freedom includes
the right to break laws and in-

ere I

By Randy Troup

Shoot! I've really been blowing my mind — ever since New Year's
Eve! I've been listening to these records of The Jefferson Airplane,
and Bob Dylan's new one — "John Wesley Harding", and the Beatles,
of course, and the new Bee Gees albums, and The Buffalo Sprim
field, and all these other hippie records.

And you know that mouse I wrote about last time? Dead. We
were all sitting around in the dust up in Main and the mouse went
running along the wall and up under the bed, and then we didn't
seem him anymore. We didn't find him under the bed. So I figured
that he was probably behind the bookcase, because I had cornered
him there a couple of times before. So I looked back there, ani
sure enough. So I pulled the bookcase out from the wall .
just then this heavy, triangular piece of stained glass (pretty) fell
off the top of the bookcase where it had been propped against the
wall— And the corner caught the mouse right on the head. Kill
it! He didn't live long at all . . . And this is true. It really is.

Well, to serious matters. You know, it could be said that any—
and all! — institutions may be expected to have some sorry teachers
who don't care anything about teaching. You know, you can get
paid to teach and do just about nothing. And we all know it! B
logically (?) follows that there may be some sorry teachers at Ala-
bama College, the former State College for Women. Now coeduca-
tional, you know, and in the process of throwing up cold, vulgar
new buildings — and presently housing some people in filth and
chaos.)

Well, there may be some at Alabama College— some bad teai
ers, I mean. I will-not-dare say that I have ever had any. Although
this is published after finals I can't say that! No. But. But there
probably are some downright "pit" teachers, and that's a shame
Nevertheless, the point is: Why should we care when some of them

Falcons Blow Their "Cool"

By Bill Toms

If you have wandered in the direction of Geneva Myrick Hall
ely and observed a slight propensity on the part of our basket-
II players to lose every game — I would call you a pretty observant
Mow.

For instance, did you scrutinize the last three games in particu-
r? Bad, huh? Anyone who says our team isn't better than those
ther teams is a low-down vituperator.

The first in a series of three losses came at the hands of a fine
Troy State outfit. The final score was 90-80 but the margin of vic-
tory was more than what the score indicated.

Next came a rather stunning blow by West Florida, who despite
a n impressive winning record didn't impress too many of our still
spirited followers. Henry Ezell scored 21 points in the second half
of that game but the scrappy ball-hawks from Florida were too
jnuch for our Falcons as they rolled to a 83-71 victory.

Against Florence we somehow managed to blow our "cools" for
actically the entire game and then as usual, come back in the
osing minutes to narrow the score down to an 88-81 win for the
ions.

Too bad there, because that game was A.C.'s first homecoming.
We had a parade, floats, cheerleaders, band, homecoming queen,
the whole works but to no avail in what seemed to be our most
frustrating performance of the year.

Why you ask the decline? The rather conspicuous absence of
ill Roundtree and Bo Baughman is the number 1 reason. This is
e to a vile malfunctioning of our institutionized academic pro-
ss, and the lack of the miracles I mentioned last week.
I talked with Bill and he informed me that he did not fail any-
thing, he did not get enough quality points. What makes it worse
is that Bill, prior to this semester, had over a 1 point average. Round-
tree told me, "I feel real bad. It's hard to watch when you should
be out there playing. The biggest thing I feel is that I let the team
down."

Bill Roundtree came to A.C. from Wetumpka where he played
four years while making all-state two years, All-Conference and
County for four years, M.V.P. for two years and scoring 26 points
per game in his senior year. In his first two years Bill played guard
ich explains how he was able to dribble the ball so well. Basic-
ly I think Bill Roundtree was the most talented basketball player
is school has ever had. His loss this year is undoubtedly the ma-
r reason for our decline.
But if troubles were not enough as they stand against Florence
we lost another starter when Tommy Lovell injured his leg and
will be out for the rest of the season.

Also, may I point out, our basketball team looks tired. They're
listless and have lost the tremendous hustle that characterized their
winning streak. I figured that it was the long semester break. I
hope I'm right.

A team cannot lose two of its best players, its momentum and
its luck without the negative results being felt. So if you are dis-
couraged you have every right to be but remember it's not the
fault of our team— it is just plain old bad luck.

to move, until they got about halfway across. Harry, who had been
wisely warned not to look down, caught an accidental glimpse of
the whitecaps surging 200 feet below.

"Aaaaa! Excuse me, conductor, I'd like to get off here pleace— "
"Pleeze keep quiet, Monsieur! You are disturbing my concentra-

"Your concentration?!?! What about my stomach?! And what is
this thing that keeps poking me from your hip pocket?"

"Eet ees seemply my flask of wine, Monsieur — hand it to me,

"Saints protect me! Here — now, let's get across; my wife's prob-
ably waiting for me on the other side— Wait! What's this ahead?"

"Eet ees just a greasy spot on zee cable, Monsieur. I have been
meaning to talk to zee manufacturer about eet. Zere are several
besides thees one — "

Mr. Colcord is reported to have fainted dead away, and Mr.
Blondin reached the other side safely with his burden thirty-one
minutes later. The story ends with the note that Mr. Colcord took
an immediate disinterest in swimming and diving, which he re-
tained for the rest of his life.

fringe on other people's rights.
America is ruled by the majority
and the individual must follow
the rules set up by this majority.
From the dress in the cafeteria
on Sunday, it appears that the
majority of the students at AC
agree with the SGA rule con-
cerning "dress-up attire" for
lunch on Sunday.

As college students, we should
be able to discipline ourselves
enough to follow regulations,
even though we are not going to
be punished for disobeying. But
since it is necessary to scare
some people into obedience, the
SGA should establish penalties
for non-observance of rules con-
cerning dress and smoking in the
cafeteria and dress in Palmer.

To the Editor:

When I read the last paper
that the Alabamian sent out, I
was very surprised to see the
criticism expressed toward "Ac-
tion Lowdown". After I had fin-
ished reading the paper com-
pletely, I concluded that "Old
Hate" was the center of attrac-
tion. Why was this true?

It seems that there were some
typing errors in the first issue
of "Action Lowdon", but a writ-
er ("thank goodness") caught
the errors and brought it to the
students' attention. It seems that
"Old Hate" said something about
dress apparel also. What is he
referring to?

Undoubtedly, Carol Weir seem-
ed to think that Rick Forsman
was talking about obeying the
rules in the Fledgling, and sur-
prisingly enough I got the same
impression. "Thank goodness"
that another faithful writer in-
formed the student body that the
Fledgling was just made up of
petty rules. I was taking them
serious.

By the way, the civil authori-
ties use the word also, when
they charge someone with "petty
larceny", but for some strange
reason they take it serious.

The Great Society

By Margo Stephenson

The new semester has started much the same as all semesters
start — with a mixture of the good, bad, and just plain panic. As
usual, during registration everyone wandered around trying to look
like they knew exactly what they were doing.

Of course they didn't and almost immediately the lines formed
in Palmer with students trying to untangle themselves from situa-
tions ranging from having three classes at the same time, to hav-
ing a card for a class that didn't exist, under a teacher employed
at the University of Tennessee. With the passage of time everyone
is straightening out the little kinks though and we are settling back
into our old rut.

With the coming of a new semester came the introduction of a
new tradition— Official Homecoming, complete with Queen- and Court.
Why it even had a parade. Of course it didn't compare with the
Macy's Thangsgiving Day Parade but it fit between the city limits
of Montevallo just fine.

The only thing I missed was catching the treats usually thrown
from the massive floats. All I got was one piece of funnily cut card-
board. Well maybe next year they'll add the candy.

One annual event before break was the Sigma Delta ball game.
This year it slightly resembled a major bowl game. With officials,
cheerleaders and colored shirts it was really a sight. Both teams
fought bravely and surprisingly none of the boys were wounded.

The Deltas took the lead and carried it through to win the
game. It was a good game and all had fun even if the the heating
pads and liniment were brought forth. Yes, the noble combat on the
field was rough, as could be expected, but the battle waged on the
sidelines was even more interesting.

don't. This is the point. And this is why perfect America is in a bit

I thought the last issue of The Alabamian was pretty good—
at least it has a lot of good opinion in it. Like that. I'm sorry
I didn't read the letter from the "young'uns". But, you know, j\j
glancing at the thing, it looked pretty barfy. I threw my copy away
immediately. Y'all simply will have to do better. (Like me? — Well
I intend for my stuff to be facetious and opinionated. But people
cannot claim to be — or labor under the misconception of being— a
respectable, impartial, nation-wide type of association and pass

that you let us hear from you.

And so, enough on that particular area.

Well last night up here at Third Main, East Crosshall, we pui

NUMBER 9

New A. C President Named

DR. KERMIT JOHNSON

Alabama College's Board of

who have served as president
at Montevallo.

Library "Move-In" Set For Weekend Conference

Attended By

The campus faces an Augean
task this weekend with the "move
in" to the new library. As vol-
unteers at this morning's meeting
in the library discovered, the job
of occupying the new library is
a complex business requiring"
| team-work and synchronization of
the organizations and individuals
volunteering their services.

Ousted Editor
Voted Support
By Jax State

JACKSONVILLE— The Jackson-
ville State University Student
Senate voted last month to enter
a Writ of Amicus Curiae on be-
half of former Troy State College
student, Gary Dickey.

Dickey, former editor of the
Troy student newspaper, will face
a state of Alabama Appeal of a
Federal Court decision of last
fall which decreed he could not
be expelled from Troy State for
alleged insubordination.

The Jacksonville Student Sen-
ate action will lend moral sup-
Port to Dickey's cause.

The state's appeal of Federal
Judge Frank M. Johnson's de-
cision is expected to be heard
to the New Orleans District Cir-
cuit Court of Appeals within the
"ext two months.

Dickey's expulsion from Troy
State College (now University)
™st summer was based on his
Relation of "Adam's rule" of
President Ralph Adams, who had
sa id the school supported student
newspaper could not print any-
thing critical of the state gov-
er nment.

. Rather than abide by this rule
! n one incident, Dickey printed
'» bold letters the word "CEN-
SORED" where a critical article
*as to have run on the edi-
torial page. He was denied re-
admission to the fall ter mof
1967.

Judge Johnson ruled he could
n °t be expelled and in his court
0r der said freedom of the press
as guaranteed by the U. S. Con-
stitution, extended to college
ne wspapers regardess of the
owner.

Organizations who have signed
np to work are the six social
clubs, Circle K, Young Republic-
and, Alpha Kappa Psi business
fraternity. Librarian Mary Fran-
ces Tipton emphasizes, however,
that the staff needs all the stud-
ent volunteers it can muster,
individuals and organizations.

Students who did not attend
today's meeting should assemble
in the Main Reading Room of
the old library at 1 p.m. Friday
to receive instructions for mov
ing. Organizations not already
signed up who wish to help
should let the library staff know
by friday.

Students will be excused from
Friday afternoon classes for the
moving, Dean Walters has an-
nounced. At the end of moving
Friday, those who have cut class-
es will be required to sign a list
held by the library staff in ord-
er to have excused absences re-
corded.

The library staff under the

leadership of Director Robert B.
Somers has worked out a "traf-
fic pattern" for the weekend-long
moving session. One team of
boys will remove books from the
old library. They will transfer
their books at the door of the
new library to a second team of
boys, who will carry them to the
shelves. (This will avoid dirty-
ing the new carpets in the lib-
rary.)

Girl volunteers will place the
books on the shelves. Other girls
of the Omega social club will
serve refreshments to the move-
rs.

To assure teamwork in moving
operations, movers are request-
ed to work in four-hour shifts
and to stick to the routes des-
cribed by the staff for bringing
books in and out of the buildings.

Librarian Mary Frances Tip-
ton underlined the immensity of
the task facing students saying,
"It will take the whole weekend

to move." She remarked that
the movers would not work at
night.

In the event of heavy rain,
the "move-in" will be re-sched-
uled next week, Miss Tipton said,
"We all have our fingers crossed
that the weatherman will be
wrong this once."

She pointed out that library
service will be disrupted over
the weekend due to the move.
Students may check out books
until Friday morning, but may
not take out periodicals. Regular
efficiency will hopefully be res-
umed Monday in the new fac-
ilities.

Says Miss Tipton about the
weekend ahead of the library
staff and students, "It's really
exciting — if it weren't so excit-
ing I'd be lying on the floor.
We're working night and day to
organize the move. . . and re-
member, everybody will be wel-
come to help."

The Sides Sound Off

Dr. Finger

Last week an outstanding mem-
ber of Alabama College's faculty,
Dr. Bernice Finger, attended a
meeting of the Health, Education,

and Welfare Department in
Washington.

Among the topics for discus-
sion was the idea of closed cir-
cuit television for educational
purposes. The idea was discuss-
ed by the members present. One
professor from California, Dr.
Finger says, mentioned the fact
that these televisions, which were
tried at his college, did not
function properly in the class-
room.

Dr. Finger represented our
Physical Education Department.
Many colleges and universities,
large and small, were represent-
ed.

P.V. or G.V.?

PURPLES

After a dynamic pep rally at
Palmer last week, it is plain to
see the Purples are really at
work! The traditional air of ex-
citement most Purples feel every
year is even greater now as the
time draws near.

Preparations are being made
to give Alabama College and its
alumni the greatest Purple Vic-
tory ever. The cast is working
under the direction of their lead-
er, Pat O'Rourke.

Those who attend rehearsals
know that every effort is put
forth by critics, listeners, and
crew to attain the highest prize
. . . PV! Some even get too
anxious, like Joe Taylor, who
may still be rolling after a hard
night on the stage last week.

The Gold team may be ex-
pecting a GV, but they will real-
ly have to go to work if they
hope to succeed. Watch out for
the Purple People, you Golds,
before it is too late!

GOLDS

College Night is only the be-
ginning of the end for a great
many closely concerned persons.
There are scripts written or pro-
crastinated about all year and
summer long. This year Gladys
Swartz has written the script
after quite a few all-night visits
with others golds at a friend's
house.

Casting for the play was an
unusually large task, and a num-
ber of parts received much con-
tention. Gwen Whitten is one of
several newcomers to College
Night and she has won a much
sought-after leading part.

The dancing chorus is alto-
gether one of the lead parts of
the show. Choreography ought to
be a strong point in the com-
petition.

The scenery has received tre-
mendous attention; at this read-
ing it should be polished and
lighted— it will be an outstand-

ing threat to the Purples.

Quite frankly, the Purples will
have a bolder, larger orchestra
for their production. But Golds
will be expected to rely on unity
of production. Gold music is—
with or without consideration of
the Purples' — very admirable;
and Golds know how well it
"fits."

The drop— THE drop— has been
finished and hung in the Palmer
flies; there are many people to
be congratulated for its success-
ful execution. Despite difficul-
ties, Staging— Ann Smith, Mike
Malone, and Steve Bailey and
their committee — should be com-
mended here. And those on Art
deserve no less praise.

The Costumes people have been
"dyeing away". The fact is that
almost all people very closely
connected with this year's Gold-
en Victory are now working al-
most full time. (It will be a
G. V.).

Alpha Kappa Psi

A Few Abstractions Won't Hurt You

Well, hello, all of y'all (. . . friends and enemies). Do you
know, we've gone weekly. And here I'm already past my deadline.
So, I think it's about time to write about my philosophy — I can't
think of anything else at so late a date.

First of all. I've been griping a lot about the new buildings
and Main's renovation. The point is that tali windows, cornices,
columns and molding don't matter one . . . iota — in themselves. It's
just that it's good that men took time, years ago, to do something
like that that wasn't the least bit functional. It's nice that they
spent their time at something called embellishment, no matter how
poor their cheap post-Victorian tastes.

Next comes money. Extras such as taste and polish cost money.
And people's don't want to spend their money for such non-essen-
tials. Except the very rich — and then you have the Newports, and
Mountain Brooks — pretty fake, finally. They buy what they think
they're supposed to want. Which brings us to art.

Art is artificial. So, this thing called art has to be personal to
be worth a thing. And people — in my murky opinion — don't care
too much, really, for that sort of thing. A high weekend seems suf-
ficient for many.

So, what are things of abstract value worth? Anything? Very
possibly in our society. Neon is more-than-adequate proof of that.

And neon brings us to apathy, and complacency. We all know
that the overall intellectual atmosphere at A.C. is about nil. We
won't go into the rah-rah aspect today.

Is our education going to develop any souls? Let's pray so.
And praying and what-all gets back around to the good old ab-
stracts again. Like I've said, there doesn't seem to be a lot of that
sort of thing. But maybe there's a lot more at the second-layer level.

And here we get to the personal level. Everything is finally
personal and different. That's why I write this column in a supposed-
to-be-facetious tone. No right to value our separate little selves
very much. So there must be concern and toleration. Appreciation
in the broadest sense of the word. The word Love is a good
synonym.

I'll stop this train now while there's hopefully some hope for
retaining the old understatement.

What did y'all think about Homecoming— "the moment we had
all been waiting for'? What about the hippie band?

Somebody said that I should make it known that there is defi-
nitely no athlete's foot in the showers of Old Main. They said that
it can't live there. (Euphemism here: let's just say that the fungus
has considerable unpleasant competition.

You will everyone be pleased to know that the bannister prob-
lem in Main's Central Staircase has been solved by the application
of wire fencing.

I understand that there shall have been a Love-In (!) by the
time you read this. Maybe I can have a first-hand report in the
next issue. (Hehh heh.)

See you.

Thf Purples will hold a Pep-In tonight (Thurs-
day) in Reynolds Hall. Get out there and Sup-
port your side, Purples!

Guard Freedom Of The Press

By Carol Weir

A.C. has been more fortunate in administrative
policies toward publications than other Alabama
schools. The University's Expositions 67 was de-
nounced in the state legislature. The Mahout,
U. of A.'s humor magazine, was promptly sus-
pended to show the legislature it could handle
its own publications. Former Troy State Tropoli-
tan editor Gary Dickey will face a second fed-
eral court hassle in New Orleans. Censorship of
student publications is a fact at several state
schools.

Meanwhile at A.C. publication staffs are con-
sidered judicious enough to pass on the material
they will print. Trust is placed in students not
to abuse the right of freedom of the press; it is
seldom violated.

Freedom of the press should continue to be
jealously guarded on our campus. Furthermore,
A.C. students should see beyond its own situation
to the problems of other Alabama school publi-
cations.

Students should especially feel the danger of

prohibiting the student newspaper from making
unfavorable comments about the state govern,
ment, as was Troy editor Dickey.

Characteristic of state government these days
are snide remarks about "pseudo-intellectuals"
(anyone with over a sixth-grade education). That
the college campus is supposedly a favored habi.
tat of such explains perhaps why it has become
an automatic target for attempts to dispel their
influence through control of the press. Yet de-
spite the extreme likelihood of there being
"pseudo-intellectuals" on campus, there are many
thinking students who should not be deprived of
the right to express their ideas about state issues
through the medium of the press.

Whether the press is an organ of the state
a private concern, its reporting and opinions of
government activities are a valuable "watchdog
of democracy." What better place than an insti-
tute of higher learning, where thinking is sup.
posed to be encouraged, for free expression of
ideas about government?

Applescratch
Strikes Blow
For G.O.O.D.

By John Carothers

As you remember fiom our
last episode, John Q. Apple-
scratch, mild - mannered music
major and model male student,
who is in actuality a secret
agent for G.O.O.D., is in a rath-
er unfortunate situation.

Our hero has discovered, quite
by accident, a fiendish plot to
bury the inhabitants of Main
Residence Hall under tons of
dust.

Applescratch now faces death
at the hands of a mad, fiendish,
twisted, ugly, horrible, nasty,
dirty, despicable, freakish, bi-
zarre, just plain mean foe. John-
ny's opponent last was charging
him with a poisoned toothpick
from Lib's, a suspected front for
G.R.U.N.G.E. Now for the com-
pletion of Applescratch's own
account.

I saw the toothpick speeding
toward my eyes. 3:40 a.m. The
fiend released a scream of fright.
He plummeted through the air,
sailing completely over me, and
came to rest dangling from his
left ear lobe on the wall, where
he was impaled on his own le-
thal toothpick. 3:41. I heaved a
sigh of relief. My foe had in his
rage tripped over one of the
enormous blind mice, who were
frequently seen around Main,
scurrying over the floors, sing-
ing and talking about the day
they all lost their tails in a
poker game on 4th buzzard. 3:46.
I began to destroy the fiendish
equipment, sterilized the room
with fire. 3:50. I sluggishly be-
gan to wander through the dunes,
back to my room! to my room-
mate's snoring and the noisy golf
match outside my door (just off
the traps on course three). 3:55.
With a great sense of achieve-
ment, I closed my eyes, knowing
that the community could sleep
safely tonight. G.O.O.D. is al-
ways on guard.

Next week:

The Man from W.A.L.L.A.C.E.

Girls at Tutwiler dorm had
minor complications with their
telephones, requiring some
small adjustment. Within five
minutes of notifying the
phone company, not one but
two telephone trucks arrived.

Lotch Contraband

By Keith Harrelson

It was the middle of the 4th grade, right after semester exa
and all of us had just settled down to some hard studying for the
second term. The pressures of irate parents had driven us relent-
lessly forward in our scramble for grades, and we were beginning
to need a rest. So of course we were glad to receive the news from
old Mrs. Hoskins that we were going to have a Valentine party on
Wednesday the 14th, and everyone began immediately to prepay
for the gala event. Ramshackle red-and-white Valentine boxes were
made at from napkin cartons and Christmas paper, each with the
owner's name displayed hopefully across the front in crimson tinfoil
This was an annual thing, actually, and a Valentine's party
really not a whole lot of get excited about, except this year old
Rocky Lambert had a big crush on old blonde-headed Amy Aber-
nathy, and we were all waiting to see what kind of Valentine oW
normally-insane Lambert would give her.

The day of the party rolled around finally. All of us worked lik*
Rhodes scholars until two o'clock, when every one of the books van-
ished and the pre-pared Valentines in their punch-out, fold-up, and
paste-together envelopes appeared. At a given signal, everyone jump-
ed up and raced toward the boxes, lined on the shelf by the window 8 '
Children were instantly stuffing envelopes into boxes right a" 1 *
left, squealing and shouting with delight. Everyone had at least on*
Valentine that he wanted to give to someone special, and most oi
the boys were watching old Lambert to see what kind of huge en*
velope he'd put in old Amy's box. To our surprise, he didn't t a
near it. He just kind of smugly walked around, delivering the rest
of his Valentines. As soon as the ruckus had calmed down som 6 "
what, old Mrs. Hoskins served some strawberry and vanilla ' ce
cream. It was supposed to be a surprise, but we had all know" 1
about it for days. We knew exactly what we were going to have
for refreshment the minute she walked in with a box of those dry
old choky wooden spoons. Anyhow, when me and old Isadore Gold'
stein got our ice cream, we decided to go talk to old Lambert and
see what was wrong. He was leaning smartly against the wall,
ing his ice cream with a casual abandon that would be hard
imagine in any other nine-year-old.

"Hey, Lambert, whatsa matter? Why didn't you give old Amy *
Valentine? We thought you'd have about a seventy-fivs cent °° e j
all glittered up and everything! Whatsa matter— you chicken?"

Sigma-Delta
Contest Shows
Fine Playing

By Philip Alford
Even though the score was 12-0
in favor of the Delta's, the foot-
ball game between these two
social clubs was one to rival
games that this reporter has
seen in high school and college
games. Even though the two
teams had very little time to
practice, they really looked good.

The game was played with
high school rules, which means
twelve - minute quarters. Still,
there were 111 plays made in
the game, a remarkable number.

The two touchdowns were made
by a leap over the goal line by
Birdsong and a fantastic 20 yd.
run by Butch Real, Real being
hit twice before crossing the goal
line.

The yardage in the game was
made mainly in rushing by the
Delta's and passing by the Sig-
ma's. Although the Delta's made
only 36 yds. passing, they made
100 yds. rushing. The Sigma's
on the other hand, had 11 yds.
rushing and 121 yds. passing.

As I've said before, even tho-
ugh the score was 12-0 the Delta's
and Sigma's both played a fine
sportsman-like game. It was a
credit to the enthusiasm and de-
termination of both teams.

Statistics show that both coach
Mike Malone for the Sigma's and
coach Jack Hopping for the Del-
tas did a great job in whipping
up two fine teams for the con-
test.

Purple-Gold Football
Gets The Nod

By Bill Toms

Those few diehards who stayed on campus last week end, in
exchange for all those gala events which seem to be held every-
where else in the state except here, were in for a treat No, man,
they didn't repeal prohibition! The first annual Purple vs. Gold
touch football game was held.

The idea for the game was born and bred by the illustrious
Student Senate. After much ado the game was approved. I think
the only group on campus that didn't have a stick in that fire was
the hippy group.

Anyway the game was played on a sunny Saturday afternoon
out by the baseball field. Representing the Golds was a coalition
of the Sigma and 4th Central football teams. The Purples were com-
bined of the Meisters and Delta intramural gridiron squads. The
Purples got the better of the deal as they scored a 12-0 victory over
the Gold team.

Leading the Purples was Danny Loftin, who scored the first
touchdown on a 12 yard burst through the middle. Danny played
high school ball last year for a fine Calera team and was also se-
lected to an All-State team. Larry Patterson, better known as
"Stretch", scored the only other T.D. of the game on an intercep-
tion and a 45 yard return.

The spirit is the kind I like to see. I don't go in much for this
College Night stuff myself but anything that can get as many stu-
dents as it did to attend a football game has my nod of approval.
The estimated attendance, as told by the Montevallo police, ex-
ceeded that of 3rd Ramsay's homecoming game.

Lucky Lady
Makes Break
In Gold Chain

By Jim Cole

The Lucky Lady made her first
break in the golden chain with
her victory over Leo in the first
annual Purple-Gold football game,
12-0 last Saturday, Feb. 10.

Led by quarterback James Car-
ter the Purple offense used a bas-
ic running attack to defeat the
Golds. The first touchdown came
on a ten-yard run by Dan Loftin
in the first half. The Golds, led
by Jimmy Threet in the first half
and Bob McGurk in the second,
used a diversified attack to drive
within the Purple ten-yard line
three times. However, a strong
Purple defense, and three inter-
ceptions by Dan Loftin in the end
zone, prevented the Golds from
scoring.

The second Purple touchdown
came on an interception in the
second half by Larry Patterson,
who went all the for the score.

Strong Gold defensive men were
Mike Malone, Bill Sumner and
Johnny Callaway, who made the
Gold's only interception. Ed
Briggs, Larry Patterson and Dan
Loftin played a strong defensive
ball game for Lucky Lady. The
coaches, Chris Zebeles for the
Gold squad, and Larry Patterson
and Neal Hodo for the Purples,
did excellent jobs of organizing
both teams.

Doctors who specialize in back troubles report most
aching backs are due to weak, tense muscles
which can go into painful spasm as you suddenly
bend, stretch or twist. To relieve such backache doc-
tors recommend the pain-relief compound in Anacin®
Analgesic Tablets. And Anacin gives you more of this
medication than any other leading tablet.

Anacin is a special fortified formula. It promptly
relieves pain, helps reduce swollen tissues, and so re-
leases pressure on sensitive back nerves. Then notice
how stiff muscles loosen up and you move around with
greater ease.

Only Anacin has this special fortified
formula. It's not found in any other prod-

Fellowships
Offered By
Government

Students interested in a career
in public administration in the
national, state or local govern-
ment are offered an opportunity
to apply for a fellowship to study
at three different universities.
Candidates must be American
citizens who have completed or
who will complete a Bachelor's
Degree with any recognized ma-
jor by June of 1968.

Each fellowship for single fel-
lows has a total value of $4,300.
The stipend is $3,300 and the
remainder of the grant consists
of the remission of fees and tui-
tion at the three cooperating uni-
versities. Each fellowship for
married fellows has a total value
of $4,700. The stipend is $3,700
and the remainder of the grant
consists of the remission of fees
and tuition at the three coopera-
ting universities.

Beginning this June, fellows will
serve a three-months' internship
with a government agency in Ala-
bama, Kentucky, or Tennessee
such as the TVA, the Marshall
Space Flight Center, or a depart-
ment in one of the state govern-
ments. During the 1968-69 acade-
mic year, they will take graduate
courses in Public Administration
at the universities Alabama, Ken-
tucky, and Tennessee.

Completion of the twelve
month's training period entitles
fellows to a certificate in Public
Administration. They can be
awarded a Master's Degree at
one of the three universities at-
tended upon completing a thesis
and passing appropriate examina-
tions.

For information and applica-
tions, students should write to

"Don't worry, suckers, it's all taken care of. For your informa-
tion, I've been saving my lunch money for two weeks, and I've got
a dollar-and-a-half box of candy that I've been hiding behind the
commode in the washroom since Monday. And I'm going to give it
to her right now."

We watched him in awe as he strode toward the bathroom door,
and we began to whisper excitedly while he was inside. The whole
class saw him when he stepped out again, and a dead silence pre-
vailed as he approached his lady. He had a wisp of a smile on his
face that was surprisingly seductive.

"For you, my dear . . ."

He held it before him with one hand and lifted the lid elegantly
with the other. Amy reacted quite normally to the swarm of ants
that flowed from the box and down old Lambert's petrified arm-
she threw up all over him. It was a good thing, I guess, that he
had to go home and change clothes. He would have had to anyway
— his pants were terribly wet.

By Keith Harrelson

The advent of Cream in the
world of pop music a few months
ago was heralded by more than
a few optimistic articles and
write-ups in music and news mag-
azines around the world. Three
of Great Britain's best pop mu-
sicians had joined talents to
bring a bit of a revival to the
slowly putrefying puddle that is
today's record player sound. Lead
guitarist Eric Clapton, formerly
of the Yardbirds, bassist Jack
Bruce, and drummer Ginger Bak-
er have put together enough of
a sound to fill two albums, both
out in the U. S. now, the first
being "Fresh Cream", followed
by "Disraeli Gears". It is un-
fortunate that, like so many rec-
ords today, the listener is al-
most totally repulsed upon the
first playing. The foreign-sound-
ing, uneven quality of the music
is close to disgusting at the ini-
tial hearing, but, with a little
time and patience, one can see
the inventiveness and control
that is exhibited.

Clapton's lead guitar seems to
dominate the sound of Cream,
ranging from a delicate harp-
sound in "I'm So Glad" to a
nasty noisy crash in Muddy Wa-
ter's "Rollin' and Tumblin'." In
several places, too, the lead takes
on a sensitive, hard-blues charac-
ter, reminiscent of Freddie King.
The best example of this is the
four - minute ..selection, .."Sleepy
Time Time". While on the subject
of Clapton's lead abilities, it must
be mentioned that they are out-
standing also in "Sweet Wine",
"Toad", and "Cat's Squirrel"

Ginger Baker takes the lime-
light in his three-minute drum

solo in "Toad", one of the best
tracks on the album. Careful and
amazing handling of the basic
rhythms in collaboration with all
the variations that make a drum-
mer great are displayed here—
the thing is stuffed with one-
hand rolls, paradiddles, and cym-
bal-work that is awesome. Baker
can almost make the calf-skin
talk; more of him is needed.

Poor Jack Bruce, from Man-
fred Mann, is almost nonexistent
as far as bass-playing goes. He
is utilized mainly for harmony
singing, with which he is very
good, but his bass doesn't even
show up except in a few spots.
The best of these is the memor-
able '"Im So Glad,,' penned by
Stevie Wynwood of the Spencer
Davis group. Bruce seems to
carry a near-melody with his
low tones in this one, and he
seems more than promising.

"Disraeli Gears" would appear
to be a drop in quality from the
first disc, for Cream relies more
heavily on electronic equipment
this time around. "Gears" con-
tains the familiar "Sunshine of
Your Love", and the rest is
playful experimentation. "Dance
the Night Away" sounds just like
the Byrds, and "Blue Condition"
stinks. The best bands by far
are "Strange Brew", "Sunshine
of Your Love", and "World of
Pain". The album winds up with
a hilarious barbership quartet
parody called "Mother's La-
ment."

Cream should last— for a while
at least. One more album will
set them in a definite groove
of some sort, and this reader
hopes that it will not be one
of Sour Cream.

Social Clubs
Plan Rush
For Spring

By Fay Tate

Three of the most active
groups of girls which can be
found anywhere are here on the
campus of Alabama College.
These girls are members of the
three social clubs for women at
A.C.— the Kappas, the Omegas,
and the Thetas. All the members
are active and each group is
as interesting to an outsider
the others.

The clubs are very interested
in pledging new members and
have all the answers to ques-
tions for the girls who are in-
terested in rush. The three pres'
dents: Pam Gaunt, Theta; E~
lena Peterson, Omega; and V
da Wann, Kappa, are worki
very hard with their own clu
to see that rush, which will
the second week of March,
very successful.

Some of the activities w'
these social clubs have s~~
sored have involved much of
student body. During Driv
Week, the Thetas held th
"Iron-In" and the Omegas w"
very successful with their "Shi
Shine" project. The Kappas
cently sponsored the Homeco
ing Dance which was also
great success.

But while they are working
hard here on campus, they a
also doing individual projec
which sometimes do not affe
more than one person. The
tas have an annual egg-hunt f
the children from the speech an
hearing clinic. The Kappas ha
adopted a young boy from Part-
low and they send him gifts and
cards on special occasions
holidays. The Omegas are par' ;
cipating in a foster parent
gram and have adopted a you
boy from Greece. The Omeg"
also sent gifts to boys in
Nam at Christmas.

But the activities of the clu
have been planned for the mon'
to come. A car wash is be'
planned by the Kappas while
Thetas will have their formal
itiation Sunday, February
The Omegas will be cooking
serving at the Alumni Tea whi
will be held on College
All three clubs will be help 1
with the moving of the
to the new library and a r
freshment stand will be set
by the Omegas.

Our campus has had these |
cial clubs on campus for ot
two years and just look at
effect they have made. W
rush coming up soon, these g' r ;
would like to encourage
men women to think serio"
about pledging one of these
cial clubs. It is a wonderful
portunity to meet some won*
ful girls and become involved
some exciting and interesting 8
tivities.

After several years of antici-
pation, many months of detailed
planning as to what would go
where, and how, and three and a
half days of frenzied activity,
the new library, formally named
Oliver Cromwell Carmichael Hall,
has become a reality for all.
1 Over five times larger than the
old library, the new library in-
corporates many easily perceived
advantages over the old: ex-
cellent lighting, acoustical treat-
ment (wall-to-wall carpeting and
acoustical tile ceiling), a variety
of comfortable and varied seat-
ing and study desks, more easily
accessible book and magazine
shelving, a larger circulation
desk, much use of color (the
carpeting and lounge chairs).
Needless to say, with all of this
increased space the new library
will seat many more students
(850, including the 150 seat audi-
torium), and will shelve many

"Grant Unto Me The Joy of Thy
Salvation."

The first place prize of the

ANGELINE NAZARETIAN

Miss Nazaretian
Alumnus Of 1968

Miss Angeline Nazaretian, Class
of 1950, has been named 1968
Alumnus of the Year, to be hon-
ored this weekend at Homecom-
ing activities.

Known as "Angie" to friends,
Miss Nazaretian is Associate Pro-
fessor of Health, Physical Edu-
cation and Recreation, Athens
College, Athens, Ala.

While at A.C, Angle was a
member of the TOWER, ALA-
BAMIAN and MONTAGE staffs;
campus Fire Captain; Orchesls",
Theatre Council, College Players,
Pi Delta Epsilon. A life member
of the AC Alumni Association,
she has served as President of
the Jefferson ..County Chapter,
President of the Athens Chapter,
and is currently Limestone Coun-
ty chairman of that organization.

Miss Nazaretian was responsible
for setting up the Physical Edu-
cation program at Graysville
Junior High and at Athens Col-
lege, where she received the
Circle K Distinguished Service
Award.

The honoree is president of the
Athens College Women's Club;
chairman of the Heart Fund for

Sesquicentennial Celebration.

study rooms (for use by faculty
and students). In the front cen-
ter are the card catalogs, and
card catalog tables. And, behind
the catalogs, are all of the bound
periodicals (formerly split be-
tween two locations). On the
right, upon entering, is the cir-
culation desk area, with the cur-
rent periodical area occupying
all of the space beyond. Behind
the wall at the rear of the cir-
culation desk area are the cata-
loging room and the periodical
workroom and storage area. The
administrative officers are off
the aisle just before the circula-
tion desk area.

In the very near future the li-
brary will install a Xerox 914
book and magazine photocopier
(to ..be ..behind ..the ..circulation
desk), as well as four music lis-
tening tables (eight turntables
and sixteen headphones) with a
700 record collection (all types
of music and spoken records to be
represented). This latter will be
placed off and to the rear of the
periodical area.

Movement from floor to floor
is provided, from the main floor
to the second floor by four stair-
ways (one in each corner); and
from the main floor to the ground
floor by three stairways (one in
each corner except the left front).

Along with all of these new
riches go a few new regulations.
The elevator is reserved for use
by the library staff and handi-
capped persons only. Smoking
will be permitted only in the
lounge-browsing area and the
seminar and group study rooms
(the auditorium, too, but only
when used by scheduled groups).
The high sided ■ carrels at each
end of the second floor are re-
served, in general, for faculty
use. And, finally, all of the exit
doors on the ground floor are
to be used for emergency exits
onlv, and are to be so restricted
for cbvicus reasons. They are
locked from the outside, and are
not to be used as entrances.
Thus, except for emergency, all
entering and leaving must take
place through the main front
doers.

This excellent new library was
expressly designed to encourage
and attract student use. The li-
brary staff expects its service
to be fully as efficient as the li-
brary environment is pleasant.
We hope to see all of the stu-
dents in the library frequently.

Social Chairman

James Hayes, president of the
S.G.A., has announced the ap-
pointment of Reg Patterson as
Social Chairman of the S.G.A. to
take the place of Nell Tate who

Basement. A psychedelic group,
this five-man band has just re-
leased a hit record in "Maybe
Later", with an album soon to
follow.

Coming to A.C. March 23 will
be The Platters in Palmer Audi-
torium. The S.G.A. will release
more information later on this
event.

College Night Spirit Builds

By Carol Weir

It seems there has been more get up and go on campus in the
last weeks than in a long time, while the College Night spirit is
building to a peak.

Those who have channeled their talent and energies into the
productions have vehement opinions about who will win but those
who have taken a more passive role in the hoopla are equally ener-
getic in defending the chances of their chosen sides.

From all the opinions voiced by equally reliable sources, I'd
hate to be taking bets on the outcome. Golds look great; but they
can't afford overconfidence because the Purples have chalked up a
P.V. in football and basketball already, with one basketball game
remaining. And rumors of their production . . .

Yes, the spirit and energy are out there, and not just in Col-
lege Night activities. Student participation in the library "move-in"
has facilitated its opening in time for traditional homecoming of
alumni this weekend.

Since the AC spirit and energy are much in evidence these
days, it's a good time to urge all that drive for good purposes this
weekend. Let's put the best foot forward and welcome alumni back.

This is a great chance to show the accomplishments and growth
of AC to the school's well-wishers. So let's exhibit pride to our
visitors in the remodeling of Main and Anna Irvin and in, of course,
the new library — but most of all for the AC spirit.

Lotch Contraband

By Keith Harrelson

On February 16, 1968, the Birmingham Chapter of the National
Herpetology Society of America met at the Public Library at 7 p.m.
to discuss all current events concerning reptiles and snakes. Presi-
dent Elbert R. Constrictor called the meeting to order. The minutes
were read. The treasurer gave a report on the chapter's financial
situation, revealing that our $208 deficit was the result of a lack of
complete participation in pledged amounts to the "Save the Garden
Garter" fund.

The program was then turned over to Dr. Marvin Q. Serpent,
one of the world's foremost authorities on reptiles, who discussed
the advantages of cross-breeding various kinds of snakes. Among
other things, Dr. Serpent pointed out that a cross between a pit
viper and a South African Boa can eliminate the need for a watch-
dog; indeed, it can eliminate the watchdog itself if excessive barking
is a problem. Following the talk, a question-answer period was re-
quested.

Members: "Dr. Serpent, do you have any comments on the peo-
ple of today who don't like snakes?"

Serpent: "Ah, yes, I could imake another whole speech on that
subject if I wanted to. The bare fact is that the public image of
the snake in the modern world is one of evil and distrust. No one
seems to want to have anything to do with a sinful-looking, legless
creature with scales, and I just can't understand why. I think some-
thing should be done."

Member: "Didn't it all start with the story of Adam and Eve
in the Garden of Eden?"

Serpent: "I can only conclude that it did, yes— Except I think
it quite unfair that such a minor event should affect the image of
the snake for ages to come. I could understand it if the original
snake had held Eve at gunpoint while she wolfed down that apple,
but as it was—"

Member: "That's not the only instance of snake maltreatment
that we know of, is it, Doctor?"

Serpent: "Certainly not! In the Middle Ages, St. Patrick cal-
lously ran all the snakes out of Ireland! Those Indians in New
Mexico have been dancing around for centuries, holding snakes
between their gritted teeth! On the Mexican flag, there is a symbol
of an eagle crushing the life out of a defenseless snake! As a mat-
ter of fact, with one exception, every place you find reference to
a snake, you will see that it is degrading and defaming in one way
or another!"

Member: "And that one exception is—?"

Serpent: "Why, the medical symbol, of course— the Caduceus.
But, as I say, there is nothing else besides that that shows the
snake as any better than a repulsive, detestable creature of wicked-
ness. This situation must be attended to at once!"
Members: "But how. Dr. Serpent? How?"

Letters To
The Editor

Dear Editor:

We, the Library Staff, would
like to express our deepest ap-
preciation to all those students
and faculty who so efficiently
moved the library materials
from the old to the new library.
Friday afternoon, through Sun-
day afternoon, the men's and
women's clubs, plus a small band
of dedicated students carried the
burden (intentional pun). How-
ever, during this time the overall
student response was not nearly
as great as the library staff had
expected. This, of course, is all
the more reason for those who
participated during those first
three days to take extra pride
in their work.

Refreshments served Friday af-
ternoon by the decorative and
stalwart members of the Omega
club were welcomed by all.

After moving Friday afternoon,
all day Saturday, and Sunday af-
ternoon, part of the circulating
900's, the bound periodicals, the
reference books, and the delta
books on the fourth floor remain-
ed to be moved. Actually this rep-
resentee! the hardest part of the
overall collection. To facilitate
moving this Dean Walters sent
runners out to all classes Mon-
day morning with the announce-
ment that any students who might
like to help could be excused.
The response was overwhelming.
Over 857 students, plus assorted
faculty members, completed the
move, with the last book being
put in place at 5:30 pjn.

We doubt that we will ever
forget the long lines that formed
while waiting to move up the
stairs to the pamphlet room, the
bound periodical room, and those
(necessarily) few who moved the
Delta books.

We would like to especially
thank: Dr. Sherer and Mr. Ma-
jure, who worked the entire mov-
ing period; Mr. Chichester who
gave most generously of his time
shelving books and driving
trucks; the Jacksons and the Ful-
lers who gave large amounts of
their time to helping; to Colonel
Bigger, Dr. Golson, and Dr. Grif-
fith; to Dean Walters and Dean
Wilkinson, both of whom were
responsible for the social clubs
helping, and for the huge student
turnout Monday; to those three
dozen or so students who were
on the job the entire time (many
of whose names we unfortunately
don't know); to the operations de-
partment, who made the book
carriers, furnished trucks, and
moved great quantities of un-
bound periodicals before the main
move started on Friday, and
moved furniture and equipment
on Tuesday after the main move;
and to the library student assist-
ants who voluntarily worked
many extra unpaid hours; and,
finally to Mr. Rotenberry and
Mr. Edwards, husbands of library
staff members, who donated
much time helping.

In conclusion we'd like to add
that we consider all of the mov-
ers ex officio members of the
library staff.

Most sincerely,

Robert B. Somers
Julia W. Rotenberry
Jimmie Nell Williams
Mary Frances Tipton
Ellon Corbett
Lyn Chichester
Jean Edwards

P.S. And last, but not least, I
would like to extend my most
sincere gratitude to the members
of the library staff. In all my
experience I have never seen a
group of librarians and library
assistants work as hard as did
the Alabama College Library
ones. Without their unflagging
efforts the move would not have
been possible; the credit belongs
to them and the students.

WELCOME
ALUMNI \\

Many grateful thanks should
be given by all students and fac-
ulty to Mr. Robert B. Somers
for his hundreds of hours of care-
ful, tedious but imaginative plan-
ning of the arrangement of
stacks, furniture and study areas
in the library.

As a result of all this devoted
attention we now have a com-
fortable, attractive, convenient
"home" for study and book rec-
reation.

So here's our bouquet to you,
Mr. Somers, a million thanks.

Can we draw any conclusion
or discern any general behavioral
trend in the history of American
dissent? Can we present out of
the past and current anguish any
generalizations about the right
of dissent?

The election of Lincoln cli-
maxed a long period of rising dis-
sent against the pro-slavery poli-
cies of the Federal Government.
The Civil War— the very ultimate
in dissent— reversed the national
policy and put slavery on the
way to extinction. With the re-
peal of the 18th Amendment, dis-
sent caused another reversal of
national policy with disobedience
and defiance of law. With the
rise of the civil rights movement,
dissenters have caused the al-
teration of local and state policy
toward discrimination against a
person's race.

By contrast, we can see the
opposite side of dissent in the
lack of reservation exhibited by
some dissenter groups. Anyone
examining the Detroit conference
of the National Coucnil of Church-
es would surely be struck by the
lack of reserve against our Gov-
ernment.

While we must defend the
American liberty of dissent, we
must also acknowledge the rights
of others. Let us begin with the
duty to dissent from the policy
of the government when that
policy seems to the individual
citizen to constitute a departure
from moral and national interest.
There is the foundation of self-
government, which we must
maintain to carry on the spark
of democracy.

Editor:

Have you burned your draft
card, beaten your mother, stocked
up on a fresh supply of STP,
LSD and speed? I doubt it! . . .

but today's news media would
rather point out sparse cases of
filth than a million won to
Christ. Have we a society which
lusts for talk of degrading cheap
lovemaking and sin in general?
If this be the case, and most
agree it is, then I'm "dropping
out!" Who can condemn a 17
year old foe rebelling, even to-
tally, against society— after all,
is this what society wants?

People pay $50,000,000 a year
for pornography— not just Play-
boy or such but widely read
newspapers. In the summer of
a couple of years ago, an affair
between Richard Burton and
Elizabeth Taylor was given more
room on the newspapers' pages
than the breaking of the world
records in 3 major track events
in the Olympics!

Many women in the church
would be shocked at seeing a
church-goer reading Heffner's
pornography but never would
they themselves miss the gossip
section of this month's Harper's!

Y.A.F. Shows Film

By Gary Mitchell

Last Wednesday evening Young
Americans for Freedom turned
from thoughts of love to the
Communist threat to America
through a film. The film, seen
by some fifty viewers, was pre-
sented by Dr. and Mrs. D. L.
Allbritton, representatives of T.
A.C.T. (Truth About Civil Tur-
moil).

After a stimulating devotion by
Chaplain Craig Teed, Mrs. All-
britton introduced the film. In
her introduction she stated,
"Truly if ever a nation needed
the truth, we (America) need it
now."

A questions and answer period
followed the film. Dr. Guitart,
associate professor of physics
and mathematics, contributed to
the discussion. Dr. Guitart con-
firmed portions of the film,
which scenes of Cuba were used<
to be true.

"This was the first in a se-
ries of informative programs,
said President Rick Forsman.
"designed to inform the student
of his or her duties as a citizen
of the United Statees of Ameri-
ca."

Every other year, the Music,

departments comBine forces to
produce a modern American mu-
sical comedy which has stood the
test of time and gained a place

The script calls for approximately
thirty-five actors in addition to
a singing chorus of ten boys and
ten girls and a dancing chorus
of eight boys and eight girls.

Mr. W. T. Chichester, as in the
past, will be the general overall
director and direct the publicity.

Mr. Bennie Middaugh will be in
charge of singing tryouts. He will
also train the singers. Miss Jean-

Dr. John Stewart will recruit,
rehearse, and conduct the pit or-
chestra of more than twenty-five
musicians.

ANNIE GET YOUR GUN was
originally produced in 1948, but
it was revived at Lincoln Center
in New York last year. For this
revival, a brand new orchestra-

dropped, one new one added, and
'he show rearranged a bit so
that now it is even greater.

honorary, announced this week
initiation of 6 new members.

Chosen for membership in the
year-old chapter are Jenny Hol-
man, Stanley Hamby, Sandra
Staggs, Sandra Sloan, Betty Sim-
mons, and Betsy Hamlet. The
choice was based on scholarship,
character and contributions to
the disciple of English studies.

In a business meeting it was

niques used by the company to
expand. He stated that research
into new products and ways of
containing cost of electricity and
production cost is the most im-
portant job of the company. An
example of this research is the
heat pump, which has greatly in-
creased the use of electricity in
heating as well as cooling.

A.K. Psi will hold three more
professional meetings which all
business or economic majors and
minors may attend The dates for
these meetings are: March 7,
April, and May 2. All will be-
gin at 7:00 in the Audio Visuals
Room in the top of the S.U.B.
Refreshments will be served.

Two AC students and one alum-
nus will travel to far-flung cor-
ners of the world this summer
under auspices of the Student
Summer Missions of the College
Baptist Student Union.

Named to represent the BSU
abroad are Beverly Brassell, who
will go to Israel; Mary Granade,
who will spend the summer in
Jamaica; and alumnus Larry
Scales, who will travel to Viet-
nam.

The trio expect to spend ten
weeks of the summer getting ac-
quainted and working with the
people of their respective coun-
tries. They will be members of
teams chosen from among Bap-
tist students across the U.S.

Beverly Brassell summed up
the mission of the students, say-
ing, "We have a two-fold purpose
—being representatives of Christ
and of the United States."

Beverly expects to be working

on a kibbutz (work camp) in
Israel with Baptist missionaries.
She said her job would include
working in the fields with mem-
bers of the Jewish community.

The enthusiastic sophomore
voiced some fears about going
to the turmoil ridden nation but
was hopeful of contributing to
Jewish efforts "to make the des-
ert bloom."

Alumnus '68 Larry Scales will
likewise be in a strife-torn coun-
try, Vietnam. Larry expects to be
in close contact with U.S. troops
in Saigon.

His work will likely involve
teaching English and religion. De-
tails are uncertain until the
group from AC meets with other
team members at an orientation
session in the states next month.

Mary Granade, Miss A.C. and
senior counselor in Napier Hall,
will spend her summer in Ja-
maica assisting in vacation Bible
school and church music.

Applescratch Strikes Again Covpfe chatter

By John Carothers

It seemed a norma! day to
Johnny Applescratch, as he wax-
ed his near red crewcut and
donned his super speed, high
topped P.F. flyers. It began just
like any other day,- except may-
be today was Saturday, and
Johnny had been planning all
week to go to Birmingham.

The sky was blue and clear, a
perfect day for ornithology, John-
ny thought, as he sped toward
the "Big City" on his Allstate
Mo-ped.

"Vulcan would be a perfect
place for my amateur ornithol-
ogy; it offers a view for miles
in all directions with my super
duper bypen triple X binoculars*
so I can see anything," Johnny
thought to himself as the wind
rushed across his ears.

Little did he know that he was

10: 15 a.m. I stood at the door-
way of a tall, rough stone tower,
brazenly adorned by a huge pa-
gan statue, peering defiantly over
an ocean of smog and soot. (Well,
really it was just Vulcan**).
10:18. I began ascending the spi-
ral staircase and in about half
the time it takes to get to 4th
Main, I stepped out onto a cir-
cular deck and began my search
for odd birds the area is so noted
for.

10:23. I spotted a speckled bel-
lied red tailed pterodactyl. He
sailed directly over the enormous
red gaping hole in Red Mountain,
known so well to Birmingham as
the "expressway folly." The ugly
scar had in actuality become one
of the area's most distinctive
landmarks and favorite topics of
conversation (being such a good
subject for sadastic humor).

10:25. As I watched this beau-
tiful specimen soar closer to one
gigantic hole, I saw to my as-
tonishment a few men actually
working on one proposed road
(or so it seemed). I recognized
them immediately as agents for
W.A.L.L.A.C.E. (What Asinine,
Loose-headed, Lummoxes for At-
tempting to Capture Our Elec-
tions).

10:26. I knew something must
be wrong. I leaped over the rail-
ing and opened my trusty umbra-
chute. I landed softly in one of
the goldfish ponds and from there
sped directly to the scene. 10:39.
I was shocked at what I wit-
nessed. Did they actually intend
to continue work on the Express-
way? Oh! What a fiendish plot
to ruin such a prominent land-
mark, so typical of the area.
Why? I could think of only one
reason. A W.A.L.L.A.C.E. must
be trying to get into office again.

Ray Of Hope Glimmers

By Bill Toms

The decline of the fortunes of our Falcon basketball squad has
been a tale of misery and woe for both the players and you, the
still spirited followers, alike. I can tell you, as can anyone who has
participated in athletic endeavors, that losing is one of the necessary
evils of the game and sometimes despite the best of efforts, it
connot be controlled. That the team has given its best cannot be
disputed, but sometimes the best just isn't enough.

Evil went on the rampage as our team was downed in seven
consecutive games. It began many moons ago with an 84-74 loss to
St. Bernard and ended last week with a 79-74 victory over South
Alabama.

The team has had a hard time adjusting to the staggering loss
of Bill Roundtree. Couple that with the untimely injury of Bill's
replacement, Tommy Lovell, who is still on crutches, and you have
the first-rate makings of a Falcon with its wings clipped.

Still all is not lost. A ray of hope glimmers faintly through
the gloom. That win against South Alabama is an indication that
our battered Falcon has found new strength and is regrouping his
forces for one last fling at the Conference tournament which is
opening this weekend at Jacksonville. As things stand right now
the team has an overall 8-15 record and 3-10 record in conference
play.

There is one game remaining against Livingston, a team which
we have been able to battle with on equal terms in the past. But
the big doings are at the tournament and that affair is usually so
unpredictable that even Jean Dixon might hesitate to guess who
the winner will be.

If the sway of the pendulum comes back our way here at the
last of the season there's no telling what might happen in the
tournament. All this season I've felt that there wasn't a team that
stood head and shoulders above us. As a matter of fact the entire
conference was a shambles this year as virtually every team suf-
fered at least one humiliating defeat at the hands of another con-
ference foe.

Henry Ezell always plays well in the tournament, selected twice
to the All-Tournament team. If Ralph Butler gives another high
scoring performance and stays out of foul trouble he could be the
key man in tournament play. With the consistency of Mark Riggins
and Mike Killimett a lot will depend on Butler's and Dan Nelson's
rebounding strength. If the team can gel, they can be as strong as
any team in the tournament.

Freshman Steve Hammonds aims for two against West Florida as
Mike Killimet positions for rebound. Steve could be an excellent
ballplayer with a little more improvement.

AX. Debate Team Takes
Five Rounds At Mid-South

The Alabama College Debaters
were recently represented by two
teams at the Mid-South Debate
Tournament held at Henderson
State College in Arkadelphia, Ark.

Teresa Causey and Glenn Hale;
and David Mayben and Buddy
Roseberry made up the two
teams that return to debate at
Coach Sallye Johnson's Alma
Mater.

The tournament was five rounds
of switch side debating, meaning
every team went affirmative and
negative, on the National College
Debate Topic "Resolved: That
the Federal Government should

guarantee a Minimum Annual
Cash Income to all Citizens."

Out of the ten rounds of de-
bate, our Falcon team won five
rounds against some very stiff
competition. Falling to the A.C.
debaters were: Texarkana Col-
lege, Southern State College,
Ouachita Baptist University (beat-
en twice) and Stephen F. Auston
College.

Still remaining on the debate
calendar are the Mississippi
State College for Women and the
University of Florida tourna-
ments. Both promise to be in-
teresting and we hope rewarding
tournaments for A.C.

Purple's Ed Briggs, 55, James Carter, 41, and Larry Patterson, 13, look on as Junior Murray at-
tempts to get off a shot. Purples won, 79-74, in a rough-and-tumble game.

High Hopes For
Gymnastics Team
Next Year

By Philip Alford

Gymnastics for the fun and
sport of it is fast becoming a
point of interest in most athletic
departments in colleges and
universities around the country.
Alabama College is no except-
ion.

Miss Freddie Malone, athletics
instructor and cheerleader spon-
sor, has gotten a fine, grooving
gymnastics team started at A.C.
With captain Roger Johnson for
the men and Sara Redmond as
the women's captain, they have
an enrollment of twenty students
who work with the team regular-
ly-

The student body has seen them
at half-time at the basketball
games and from what this re-
porter has seen, the way is clear
for A.C. to have a fine commet-
itive gymnastics team for next
year.

Purples Leading
In Athletics

The Purples have taken a com-
manding lead over the Golds on
the athletic side of College Night.

After winning the first annual
flag football game 12-0 the Pur-
ples then ran past the Golds in
basketball by a score of 79-74.

It was a close game all the
way with neither side able to
take a solid lead. The score
changed hands at least 10 times
but in the final minutes, the Pur-
ples got a slight lead and kept
it.

Leading scorer in the game was
Larry Patterson who poured in 22
points and controlled the boards
on both sides. Ed Briggs follow-
ed in scoring with 20 points and
some fine defensive play.

If the Golds expect to even out
the score they will have to win
the next two games. It's going
to take a big effort and a lot
of support from the Gold side
or else it might be a P.V.

Falcons' Season
Comes To Close
At Livingston

Our Falcon basketball team
closed out the regular season
with a 70-66 loss at the hands of
Livingston. The loss dropped the
team to the cellar in conference
standings with a 3-9 record.

Overall this year the team
struggled to an 8-16 record.

of campus life. Each branch of

he Student Government is pre-
paring for the changeover in
\pril.

The S. G. A. and the class
elections are being held this
nonth with the Senate Elections
Committee handling both elec-
tions. Qualification slips were due
yesterday, Wednesday, Feb.
8, while the deadline for sub-
mitting class qualification slips

ampaign starts next Monday,
larch 4, and candidates will
give campaign speeches at con-
vocation on Tuesday, March 5.
Ml students should make an ef-
fort to attend these speeches and
learn who the candidates are.
he election will be held Friday,
flarch 15, and if runoffs are ne-
ssary they will be held on
hursday, March 21. Campaign-
ng for class offices starts on
Saturday, March 16, and the elec-
tion will be March 21. S.G.A. In-
allation will take place at con-
vocation Tuesday, April 9. Stu-
dents should remember it is both
heir duty and privilege to vote
nd they should take advantage
°f the opportunity. This is the
time and place to voice your
"pinion.

Reg Patterson, chairman of the
G. A. Social Committee, is
operating with Gary Dennis,
President of the Freshman class,
n d Ester Gaskin, president of
he Junior class, in preparation
°r their upcoming dance. Spon-
ged by both the Freshman Jun-
or classes, the Butterbean Choir
''11 be presented at Bibb Graves
Saturday, March 16 .

A thunderous roar— screams—
not a few tears were the re-
sult Saturday of S.G.A. President
James Hayes' announcement that
the Purples had won College
Night.

Purples fragmented the seven-
link Golden Chain with an air-
tight, fast-moving satire on the
poverty program entitled AND
IT'S ALL FREE. The winning
show was written by Rebecca
Dunaway and Jerry McKee and
directed by Purple leader Pat
O'Rourke. Music was under the
direction of Jim Weese and Ron
Rooks.

The plot revolves around the
attempts of the Greenwad squash
heir to marry supposedly pov-
erty-stricken Gladys Richfree. The
older Greenwad has other ideas
about the boy's future but is di-
verted from his attempts to break
up the romance temporarily by
a visit from the friendly Inter-

nal Revenue folks.

With bankruptcy threatening,
Greenwad resolves to end his fi-
nancial problems by declaring a
deduction from the purchase of
land — owned by none other than
the Richfrees.

Meanwhile the "impoverished"
Richfrees are found to have a
high income from poverty pro-
grams they have swindled their
way into. When Greenwad arrives
on the scene he is foiled in his
efforts to get the needed land.
Not one to give up, he comes
back later and walks in on a
stylish party given by the "sud-
denly" affluent Richfrees.

The game seems to be up for
the Richfrees but Greenwad is
persuaded in the end to live off
the poverty programs and to al-
low the romance of his son and
Gladys.

Charming in their roles as
Lawrence and Gladys were Phil-
lip Alford and Susan Patridge.

Joe Taylor as Grandpa Richfree
stole the show, and Guy Downey
was superb as Winslow.

Other major roles were per-
formed by Fred Holbein, Phineas
Greenwad; Lucy Hallman, Phin-
eas' mother; Gary McManis, Al-
bert Richfree; Kitti Windham,
Beatrice Richfree; Linda Leo,
Penny Richfree.

Remaining members of the
cast were Aloice Tucker, Phillip
May, and Brian Dowling, tax as-
sessors; John Calhoun, Teresa
Causey, Trenie Cooper, Wanda
Foster, Diane Harris.

Chris McLaughlin, Becky Boy-
kin, Judy Ling, Judy Mitchell,
Suzanne Childs, Bess Roberts,
Jeannie Minor, Jerry McGaughy,
Frank Cruz, Stan Powell, Hal Mc-
intosh, Howard Barksdale, Jane
Doswell, Kathy Hill, Sally Love-
joy, Julia Stapleton, Tommy Kil-
lian, Greg Saylor, Mary Helen
Dees, Ann Roberts.

Golds Present Stiff Competition

Golds gave the Purples stiff
competition with their presenta-
tion of GET A BIGGER BUCKET
OR WHO GUMMED UP THE
WORKS, directed by Peggy Gas-
kin.

The show is the tale of a wide-
eyed young lady, Libby, who tries
and succeeds in landing on
Broadway— but not before a run
for her money from glamorous
causin Ashley. By a quirk of fate,
just as Libby has gotten her
first "part," as a belly dancer,
Ashley shows up at ex-stripper
Ruby Red's dilapidated boarding
house and announces her inten-
tion to become a star.

Meanwhile Libby is aided by
sister Margaret, her agent, and
actor friends in disguising the
true nature of the apartment. To
conceal the nature of her role
Libby gives up a chance to meet

the producer Dirk Parker; Ash-
ley insteads meets and impresses
the producer.

Through Ashley, however, Dirk
Parker meets Libby and unwit-
tingly forces her to admit the
sad fact of her employment in a
nightclub. Ashley, offended by
the attempt at trickery, sweeps
out to pack up, while Parker re-
veals that he may have a role
for Libby after all at the be-
hest of Ruby Red.

The play ends on a happy note
with Libby tasting sweet success
at last and sister Margaret and
Philip in love. Ashley's role,
ironically, will be as a belly-
dancer. Lessons will be from
Ruby Red— and A.C. may never
be the same after Gwen Whit-
ten's devastating phrase, "God
your pants on?"

Leading parts were performed

by Bobbie Herlong, Libby; Shar-
on Henderson, Margaret; John
David Harris, Philip; Gwen Whit-
ten, Ruby Red; Charlie White,
Waiter; Randy Troup, Dirk Park-
er; Paula Owens, Ashley.

Other actors were David Hoit,
Zack Godwin, Lloyd Frey, Sidney
Parker, Larry Popwell, Jenny
Lind, Andy Meginniss, Rick Spit-
ler, Connie Osborne, Barbara
Payne, Linda Baltzell, Gary Den-
nis.

Pat Kinney, Connie Oates, Rai-
ny Logan, Vickey Black, Becky
McLaughlin, Cheryl Pearson,
Sharon Pitts, Gayle Lees, Jan-
ice Tarrant, Carol Somich, Sunny
Jordan, Toni Chesser, Marty Al-
fano, Norma Morris, James Waid,
Bobby Gliddon, Ken Walden, Ed-
die Austin, William Hodge, Andy
Odum, Make Malone, Bill Sum-
ner, John Amari.

Jubilant Purples exult over victory.

Dedication Given
To Miss Martin

The esteem that House Director
Miss Mary Martin has earned in
her two years at A.C. was evi-
dent Thursday night when she
was named the thirty-ninth re-
cipient of College Night dedica-
tion.

Miss Martin, a native of Greens-
boro, was graduated from Ala-
bama College, which four other
Martin sisters also attended. She
attended Peabody College in
Nashville, T e n n . , Mississippi
State College for Women and Co-
lumbia University.

In her studies Miss Martin
earned sufficient hours for the
master's degree, but did not fol-
low the set curriculum for a de-
gree, choosing instead courses
and professors which would be
of most help in her teaching ca-
reer.

In 1957 Miss Martin was named
teacher of the year in the POST-
HERALD contest. Students who
live in her dormitory or who
have met the charming lady on
campus know why!

PAULETTE MOORE

Tryouts For
"Annie" Slated
March 4, 5, 6, 7

Tryouts for the musical "Annie
Get Your Gun" will start Mon-
day, March 4, in Reynolds Audi-
torium. There will be two try-
out times; one at 4:00 in the af-
ternoon and one at 7:00 that eve-
ning. No matter which time you
choose to try out the important
factor is being on time, for try-
outs will begin immediately.

At Monday's try-outs there will
be an explanation of all the try-
outs in general. Then Mr. Mid-
daugh will teach one song from
the show and listen to each in-
dividual sing.

On Tuesday the tryouts will be
held at Bibb Graves. These will
be the dance tryouts. The girls
are to wear shorts, slacks or
leotards, not skirts! The time
will be the same, 4:00 and 7:00,
giving everyone a chance to try
out.

On Wednesday the reading try-
outs will be held in Reynolds
Auditorium. Then Thursday night
people will be called back at
7:00 if there are one or more
that will suit a certain part. If
you are not called back this
does not mean that you do not
have a part!

Finally on Friday the names
of the cast will be posted in the
S.U.B., Bibb Graves, and Rey-
nolds. Then the real work begins.

If you are going to try out
for the musical, the important
thing to remember is that you
must be on time for the tryouts!

The Great Society

By Margo Stephenson

"As the Deep Purple falls over sleepy garden walls . . ." Hey,
wait a minute — that's not the way that song goes. It's "As the Deep
Purple falls over GOLDEN garden walls." At least that's the way
the song went Saturday night over Palmer's walls. It's a song long
not heard but revived and brought to the top of the song charts.
It's a song that brings joy and happiness. A marvelous song to
some, a song that brings tears to others. But none can say they
are sorry to hear this song because it echoes a tradition at A.C. —
a tradition loved by all that leaves you a victor no matter what
color your heart is.

Now that the weekend has ended, students are slowly but surely
getting back into the groove of classes. Professors are seeing stu-
dents they thought had dropped their courses long ago, and the
dark circles are easing out from under eyes. A few side signs are
still seen on a few dorm doors or drifting with the wind across the
streets, but on the whole, most visible signs of victory and defeat
have vanished.

Now that the work has ended, the old party grind is beginning
to click. All three fraternities have planned parties for this week-
end, and everyone is certainly ready for a good blow-out. I over-
heard one freshman girl debating which party to attend. The boys
who asked her weren't considered. It was based solely on a specu-
lation as to which party would be the best. Then if she played her
cards right, she could hit two of them. As I left, she was trying to
decide who would be the unfortunate one to be left out. Well, I
guess we'll see this weekend.

Lotch Contraband

By Keith Harrelson

Perfection is the product of practice, and, by all means, there
should have been a lot of loose perfection floating around Palmer
Hall last Saturday night. Was there? Of course there was — and if
by any chance it didn't show up Saturday it was because it had
had enough exposure on the two preceding nights. A reviewer's
job is to make fun of and tear apart whatever he's reviewing, or
else he doesn't keep his job. Well, I'm about to lose my employ-
ment, because there's nothing but good that can be said about the
result of four months of work and earnest competition.

Speaking for the Purples first, because it seems like they de-
serve it: Phil Alford's song voice surprised everyone. They all fig-
ured that since he had so much talent at being a Beauty Queen,
there just wasn't room for anything else. Special admiration, though,
must be given to the amazing resiliency of Alford's posterior in
consideration of the bumps it took three nights in a row (to say
nothing of innumerable rehearsals). Hats off to Alford's posterior.

If life in the theatre ages a person, Joe Taylor ought to stay
with it, although I can't see how he could possibly be any better
than he already is. Fred Holbein lost character only once — after the
winner was announced. I heard he cried like a baby. (If this is
starting to sound too much like Hedda Hopper, why don't you go
read something else?) Guy Downey was priceless, Gary McManis
was flawless, the Tax Assessors were ruthless, and Susan Patridge
was great. The Purple music was nothing short of tremendous.

The Golds had a clean performance, if not a winning one. Bobbi
Herlong presented herself in a fine debut to AC, backed by the
impeccable perfection of Sharon Henderson and the pleasant ranb-
ling of John David Harris. Gwen Whitten did a real jewel of a
job with her role, and the Party People showed evidence of good
casting and hard practice. I can't help wondering if the character
of Dirk Parker was meant to be similar to Bert Parks in more
than just the name. I also wonder if Paula Owens' navel looks as
good as her teeth did. The "New Yorkers" dance number and set
was possibly the best part of the whole production, and the Gold
music was catchy and memorable instead of grand.

As a matter of fact, there was only one bad thing that could
be said about the whole experience— it was a bit difficult getting
out of the auditorium after it was all over. I kept tripping over
something in the dark, and it was only when the lights were turned
on that I saw that the floor was littered with fragments of a won-
drous Golden Chain.

The alumni visiting campus this weekend would-
n't remember a dining service that sponsored
coffee breaks during exams, banana split parties,
or a night in the "Playboy Club." But today the
campus takes these activities for granted without
much to-do over the people who make all of it
possible.

One such personality, who has been grinning
over the cash register with a pleasant remark for
every student for the last two years, is Mr. John
Talantis. It's time to take notice of the contri-
butions of "Mr. T," as he is affectionately known,
because we are losing him, to the University of
North Carolina. While this is a big, much-deserved
promotion, A.C. will lose a real friend when the
Talantises leave for their new home Friday.

In his two years at Montevallo "Mr. T." has
chalked up an impressive record. He was the
chief instigator of the big Playboy and Western
parties last year; instrumental in plans for reno-
vating the dining hall, which was accomplished
at great inconvenience to the cafeteria staff; a
great encourager to the development of social

clubs; an avid fan of College Night.
Mr. Talantis has acted above and beyond his

duties as director of dining services in his

sup.

port of the Falcons also. His company put Up
prize money for the naming of the school mascot
and Mr. Talantis is a prized advisor to the Spii
Committee, an active group this year. These (and
the list could go much further) are all things you
can put your finger on, so to speak. But "Mr. T."
has made contributions to the campus that
more intangible and just as important.

He has been a fine example to the student bod
during his two years here. Always ready to tali
or listen to a student who comes to his office
he can give good common sense advice or jus)
supply needed sympathy. Though he could prob-
ably not be forced to admit it, he has exerted
a favorable influence on students who had con
tact with him.

Perhaps all this is the reason for Mr. Talantis'
being named ABA Slater Regional Manager of
the Year. Just one question— why did they wa
so long to do it?

Peace Corps Celebrates Seven

President John F. Kennedy uttered the oft-
quoted "Ask not what your country can do for
you, but what you can do for your country" and
proceeded to show the nations how one can do
just that.

He initiated one of the most effective instru-
ments of foreign and domestic service in modern
times — the Peace Corps, which will celebrate its
seventh birthday tomorrow.

Simultaneously hailed and castigated for its
idealistic goals when it was founded in 1961, to-
day the Peace Corps is serving with practical
effectiveness in 57 countries. In fact, "practical
idealism" has become the Peace Corps trademark.
Over 13,000 volunteers say it's so.

Host countries are also enthusiastic about the
Peace Corps. President Bourguiba of Tunisia has
described the work of Peace Corps Volunteers
as a "precious gift" and enduring "work of

peace" that "does honor to America."

But America stands to benefit from the wori
of the Volunteers not only in foreign relations
Well over 15,000 Peace Corps Volunteers have
returned to the U.S. to become active, effective
leaders in the affairs of their communities and
nation.

As Peace Corps director Jack Vaugh observ-
ed, ". . . from now on, the Peace Corps will be
distinguished as much by the solid, responsible
work of its graduates in America as by the solid,
responsible work of its undergraduates overseas."

While the public doesn't hear as much now-
adays about the accomplishments of the Peace
Corps, it can be assured that the Volunteers are
carrying out the organization's goals. Director
Vaughn says, "If the Peace Corps is quieter at
seven, I submit it is also more effective."

A happy seventh birthday to the Peace Corps.

Letters To The Editor

To the Student Body:

For nearly two years I have
been in contact with the stu-
dents of A.C. as director of din-
ing services.

Now that I am leaving with
regret to take a similar post at
the University of North Carolina,
there are several observations
about A.C. I would like to make.

Having served several different
student bodies in the past, I can
honestly say this is the best one
I've ever seen. The students here
are the friendliest and most well-
mannered group I've had occasion
to work with. They are also
some of the most hard-working
and they show the characteris-
tics of enthusiasm and moral
strength which have made this
nation great.

The policy of my company is
to serve the students — and not
just food — but to make the in-
evitable coldness of institutional
dining more home-like. This is
the idea behind parties and spe-
cial events which have taken
place in the cafeteria.

However the most successful
events of my stay in Montevallo
—whether picnics, Playboy Club,
or Western Party— would not
have been possible without the
work and planning of students.
For the Playboy Party last De-
cember, 140 hours of student la-
bor went into something for the
benefit of the entire school. And
this is just one example of the
spirit of enthusiasm and willing-
ness to work which characterize
A.C.

Because of the students I have
known at A.C. I leave with re-
gret; I know, however, that you
will extend the same friendship
and cooperation to the new man-
ager, Mr. Tom McKeithan.

To everyone whose energy and
effort make A.C. what it is, I
would like to exetnd my congrat-
ulations and a fond farewell.

Sincerely,
John Talantis

To Editor:

I, for one, am appalled by peo-
ple (re. letter to the editor by
Ben Roundtree) who repeatedly
harangue the newspapers for
printing violence, filth, et cetera,
on the front page, while crowd-
ing the good news (baby birth,
4-H Club winners, Eagle Scouts,
etc.) into an isolated filler on
the last page.

News publishers print the un-
usual events of the day. To par-
don an old newspaper reporter's
motto: "If dog bites man, no
newws, but if man bites dog,
you have a story."

When I read in the newspaper
about a Richard Burton and Liz
Taylor affair, or a case of rape,
murder, et cetera, I know that
these are out of the ordinary,
newsworthy items that dominate
the newspaper because of their
uniqueness. But if I open the
paper and find "Baby Born'' em-
blazoned across the front page,
and find "Gang War Started"
on the last page, then I assume
that "Gang Wars" have become
commonplace, whereas, "Baby"
births have become unusual.

Also, Mr. Roundtree states
(quote) "People pay $50,000,000
a year for pornography ... not
just Playboy or such but widely
read newspapers." I say to Mr.
Roundtree that if he doesn't like
what he sees in the newspaper,
don't buy one.

And if he would stop ogling
the Femme Fatals, which, as Mr.
Hefner has repeatedly stated,
makes up less than 10% of
the Playboy magazine, and read
the magazine then he would, I
think, discover that it is one of
the most sophisticated, thought-
provoking publications on the
American market.

As a matter of fact, if Mr.
Roundtree would read the letter
entitled "Pornography and

Crime" (Sol Gordon, Ph.D., "The
Playboy Forum," Playboy,
(March, 1968), p. 45) he might
gain a little insight as to the
pseudo myth concerning the
cause-effect relationship between
pornography and sex crimes.

Since Mr. Roundtree advocates
"dropping out" from a (quote)
"society which lusts: for talk of
degrading cheap lovemaking and
sin in general," then I advise him
to do so. Society needs people
who seek to help alleviate its
problems. Society does not need
more gripers, or the type of
muckrakers who damn the whis-
key bottle for causing alcohol-
ism.

Mood Changes
With Snowfall

By Gary Mitchell

There was a change in the
weather and, for a brief day or
two, a change in the spirit of
Alabama College.

Nothing seems to thrill South-
erners more than snow in the
winter, especially those com-
muters who live in surrounding
communities. To them it rnay
have been a hardship but W
those who reside on campus. »
was a welcome change from m /'
ing library books, practicing for
College Night, buying flowers,
and getting ready for the ava-
lanche of exams accumulate"
through the weeks of rehearsals-

The beauty of snow does "0t
take effect until the highway*
are closed and we and some un "
fortunate members of the faculty
are cut off from home. But a s .
whole, we Southerners do en]0J
the fun of snow, although * e .
take a lot of criticism from ff
Northern students.

U. S. Foreign Policy Team To Appear In Birmingham;
College And High School Groups To Question

Virtually every area of the city
and its surrounding localities will
have had some contact with the
U. S. State Department foreign
policy team which will appear in
Birmingham on Friday, March 1.
The one day schedule of activi-
es is summarized as follows:
High school students will hear
and question the team at a
morning convocation which will
be held at the Municipal Audi-
torium. Mayor George Seibels
will extend the official city wel-
come to the team in this as-
sembly; superintendents of the
area boards of education will be
special platform guests. W. R.
!athrop will serve as moderator

sions with one or more members
of the team on various area col-
lege campuses. According ..to

present plans, the colleges par-
ticipating in these sessions are:
Miles, Birmingham-Southern, We-
nonah State, Jefferson State and
Booker T. Washington Business
College.

Later in the afternoon, social

ring this period guidance coun-
selors will meet with Miss Chris-
tine Camp, U.S. State Department
Community Meetings Officer, to
discuss career opportunities in
the diplomatic corps.

The general public will have
two excellent opportunities to
question the team: one in the
public forum which will be held
in the University of Alabama En-
gineering Auditorium, or by tele-
phoning their questions in to
the program, "The People

Speak," on Radio Station WAPI,
from 9:45 p.m. to 12 midnight.

The scheduling of activities for
the team's visit to Birmingham
is being coordinated by the We-

15th Annual SGA
Conference To
Be Held In March

HATTIESBURG, MISS. — The
fifteenth annual conference of the
Southern Universities Student
Government Association will get
underway on March 28, 1968, at
the Buena Vista Hotel in Bi-
loxi, Mississippi.

Host school for this year's con-
ference will be the University of
Southern Mississippi. This will
mark the third 1 time that USM
has been host to this conference.

SUSGA is an organization of
130 plus colleges and universities
in the South, dedicated to ser-
vice to member schools. Some
1,000 student leaders will gather
for this conference.

The entire structure of the
SUSGA Conference is constructed,
on a framework of topics, panels
and addresses that will inform,
enlighten and educate the student
leaders.

In the superstructure of the
conference are found five major
areas for discussion: "Student
Gove r n m e n t Responsibilities",
"Student Government Programs
& Projects", "Student Govern-
ment Trends", "Studen Trends",
and "Student Government Rela-
tionship with other Campus Agen-
cies."

This year, for the first time,
the SUSGA Conference will have
a session for campus religious
leaders. Realizing that campus!
religious leaders in tfhe South
have no regional organization
which to attend for the purpose
of the exchange of ideas, pro-
grams and projects, the SUSGA
Executive Council has added this
very important area of campus
life to its conference. Campus
religious leaders and campus re-
ligious activity advisors are en-
couraged to be on hand for the
entire SUSGA Conference.

SUSGA has always been noted
for its outstanding array of some
of the most popular entertainment
available to campuses at its an-
nual conferenc each year. How-
ever, this year there will not be
as much entertainment, making
room for more sessions concern-
ing student government problems
and programs.

SUSGA '68 will be a complete
conference in the strictest sense
of the word. Topics to meet stu-
dent government leaders' needs
and, yet, pertinent to today's
problems involving student gov-
ernment, noted speakers and
panelists to guide new leaders
as they ready themselves to run
their campus organizations on
the SUSGA campuses.

Colonel Terry
To Return Soon

Colonel Alan L. Terry, who
serves Alabama College as the
Chairman of the Business De-
partment, should return to his
post soon, according to his wife,
Dr. Besse Terry.

Colonel Terry has been suffer-
ing from infection and flu since
the beginning of this semester.
He is now being treated at the
Walter Reed Army Hospital. Doc-
tors have found no malignancy
since his transfer there from the
Maxwell Air Force Base Hos-
pital.

Dr. Terry said that he should
be back on the job by the end
of the first nine week period.

Much credit is due the faculty
of the department for continuing
their excellent service in the
absence of their leader.

Sophs Apply Now For
Teacher Ed. Program

All second semester sophomores
who plan to take a teaching cer-
tificate must make application

THE ALABAMIAN, Alabama Co

Falcons Stun Troy State
In 1968 A.C.C. Tournament

Davis Leads

By BiU Toms
Sports Editor

Last Thursday our Falcons
dealt second-ranked Troy a stun-
ning 82-76 upset in the A.C.C.
tournament. The win gave our
team two firsts: the first time
an Alabama College basketball
team has defeated Troy; the first
time an Alabama College team
has won an A.C.C. tournament
game.

Troy jumped out to an early
lead but our Falcons came storm-
ing back to take a L4-9 lead. We
managed to hold the lead until
Troy's fury Imbriacco hit three
straight jumpers to pull Troy
from a 22-21 deficit into a 27-22
lead with 7:41 left in the first
half.

That five point gap was the
biggest lead the Red Wave was
to enjoy the rest of the night as
our Falcons, behind Ralph But-
ler and Mark Riggins, came
bustling back to grab a 40-39
lead at the half.

Seven minutes into the second

half Henry Ezell pumped in one
of his "patented" jump shots to
make it 55-47. From there Troy
was to spend a futile 13 minutes
trying to catch up.

Ralph Butler led all scorers
with 27 points while hauling
down 13 rebounds. Senior center
Mark Riggins followed up with
18 points and 11 rebounds.

Against St. Bernard, our semi-
final opponent, the Falcons were
down by 14 midway in the first
half but closed the gap to 44-37
at half time. With 18:13 left in
the second half we had trimmed
the Saints' lead to 44-42. At that
point Paul Lyons popped in four
straight bombs to open the gap
to 5&47 with 15:09 left and from
there on, A.C. never seriously
threatened again.

All-Tournament Ralph Butler
turned on for the second con-
secutive night with a 21 point
performance. Henry Ezell got hot
in the second half and finished
off the season with 23 points.

St. Bernard then went on to

defeat Jacksonville, the confer-
ence winners, by the score of
125-113 for the tournament
crown. The Saints also placed
three men on the All-Tournament
team.

It was too much of Roy Davis
for the Purples as the Golds
won the big one before a scream-
ing mob of colors, 73-62.

With the golds leading 26-23 at
half time Davis came back to
score 18 of his 27 points in the
second half to lead the Golds to
their first athletic victory over
the Purples for the 1868 College
Night affairs.

The lead exchanged hands twice
in the second half but the Gold
team managed to run away with
the game in the closing five min-
utes. It wasn't until Williams
hit four consecutive free throws
that the game was sewed up.

It was a ragged game and both
teams were obviously "chocked
up". In addition the officiating
was extremely bad. Still the

game was interesting enough
the fervent fans.

throw line with a Gold vi
clenched and 67 reading on
scoreboard both sides felt
tension build. Symbolism

Falcons End Flight
With Troy Upset

By Bill Toms
Sports Editor

The Falcon no longer flies. Our basketball season for 1967-68
is over.

The beginning was one of promise and hope; the ending was
disappointing. Final overall record: 9-16, final conference record:
2-10, and the fourth consecutive year in the conference cellar.

Coach Leon Davis had this to say about the season: "Disap-
pointing. I felt we should have done much better. We had a better
ball club than what we played all year. We played well in some
spots, that indicated what we could have done."

We started off the season like a bat out of hell with the runner-
up spot in the Shorter tournament. Next came a win against La-
Grange. Then two losses; a close one to the conference champion,
Jacksonville, and a discouraging one to LaGrange. The South Ala-
bama team felt the sting of the Falcon next as we squeezed by
with one point to spare. Then came a four game skid. Downed by
Troy, St. Bernard, West Florida and Huntingdon in the Blue-Gray
Tournament, we all began to wonder if our fearless Falcon had
turned into a "Chicken Hawk". Nope! Livingston, Athens — our first
win over them ever— Livingston again, and finally Huntingdon, the
Blue-Gray champs. And it was right there that we should have end-
ed our season because after Huntingdon we patterned our style of
winning after that of the American Indian. Ugh. One for nine. So
much for the Falcons' regular season.

Then just to show everybody that my word is infallible, remem-
ber what I said last week about the team jelling in the tournament;
we upset Troy State, the number 2 team in the conference, 82-76.
St. Bernard then officially ended our season in a close game by a
score of 89-79.

Looking back on the players Henry Ezell and Ralph Butler can-
not receive enough praise. Ezell was selected to the All-Conference
team, Ralph to the All-Tournament team. These two fellows have
been the backbone of the squad all year. Ezell averaged 18.8 points,
Ralph 15.6 per game. Ezell was never held below double figures,
Ralph was four times.

Ezell's high game came against Huntingdon when he hit for 35
points, Ralph's came against Shorter where he hit 29 points. They
are both juniors and return next year.

Mike Killimet, Mark Riggins and Dan Nelson fall next in line.
Mike is not a big scorer but his ball handling and fine defensive
play makes up for it. The team captain and leader was Riggins.
Mark was a steady ball player and -his presence will be missed
next season. He is the only senior on the team. Nelson was the sur-
prise. Dan came off the bench to grab a starting spot and supply
the team with a lot of hustle and rebounding strength. Killimet and
Nelson return next year.

Steve Hammonds, Jerry Gillespie, Ed Beeker, George Johnson
and Bill Godwin round out the rest of the squad. Hammonds, Bak-
er, and Gillespie are all freshmen. Gillespie looked good in the one
game I saw him play but like Hammonds he needs to improve and
shoot more. Beeker showed steady improvement but still has a lot
of hard work ahead of him. Johnson played a lot this year but has
never lived up to his potential. George and Godwin both return
next year.

Last of all there are the problem players: Bill Roundtree, Tom
Lovell, and Bo Baughman. Rountree could be the best player A.C.
has ever had. He had all the shots and moves plus the rebounding
strength and ball handling ability to make a team go. Like Baugh-
man, another freshman with good potential, Bill will need to im-
prove those grades to play next year. Lovell will have to recuperate
from his knee injury to give the team the strong bench strength he
produced this year.

So ends the fourth season of intercollegiate basketball at Ala-
bama College. To all the players who sweated, strained, suffered
and struggled to victory, I extend my thanks and wish the team
luck in next year's competition.

A. C. Debaters Close Season

The Alabama College debaters
closed out their season with the
27th Annual Magnolia Debate
Tournament at Mississippi State
College for Women.
The Falcon Debate squad has
id a long year of learning.
Although we didn't win any major
tournaments, the promise of a
better season next year is pres-
ent. Varsity Debater Mary Lou
Elder was the only one on the
10 man squad with any previous
callege debate experience. Peggy
Gaskin teamed up with Mary Lou
to bring home some varsity vic-
tories.

The rest of the squad mem-
bers debated only in novice com-
petition. Rounding out the squad
were Buddy Roseberry, David
Mayben, Teresa Causey, Denis
Hermecz, Jerry Pitman, Ben
tountree, Glenn Hale, and Joe
Taylor. Most of these novice de-
hors had had previous high

Changes Made
In Etiquette
Since The Forties

By Carol Weir

Arguments about how far the
student should "sacrifice his in-
dividuality" to satisfy propriety
in Sunday cafeteria dress would
silenced if the students con-
cerned could happen upon the
volume stuck back in the library
called "Etiquette at Alabama
College" (1942). Mainly because
he would feel himself in no way
restricted if he compared the
restrictions of today with the
theoretical bounds of lady-like
conduct observed (?) at the table
of the girls' school in 1942.

Also for some of us, the sug-
gestions might well be taken to
heart.

One suggestion for proper din-
ing in the handbook (compiled
Jy home economics students and
Senate) was that ladies should
'enter the dining room with as
ittle noise as possible, since the
'ow-pitched voice of a lady should
jot have to be raised to ill-bred
lights to be heard." (Strike a
tender spot, ladies?)

Further, to "talk from one table
to the other makes one conspicu-
° u s by attracting attention to
Se, f . . . this is a breach of
et 'quette."

And you'd better watch what
you say to those at your own
tab 'e, where it is the "duty of
6v eryone to participate in the
Conversation at the table." One
"ould not discuss for example
is peeves, unpleasant subjects,
,r gossip. (But what would we
a| k about?)

Lest you have time to eat af-
r fulfilling your conversational
u ty to table mates, you should
care to place just enough
^ in a spoon for one bite, the
°°ok tells us. Remember "to fill
spoon full and bite it off

school debate experience, but the
college circuit was a completely
new experience.

Debating on the topic "Resol-
ved: That the Federal Govern-
ment should gaurantee a minim-
um annual cash income," has car-
ried our Falcon debate squad to
six tournaments in four states
debating schools from 14 differ-
ent states.

The tournaments atended were:
University of Georgia, Missis-
sippi State College, Samford, Mis-
sissippi State College for Women,
Henderson State College in Ark-
ansas, and of course our own.
The 5th Annual Central Alabama
Novice Tournament.

Some sixteen schools accepted
invitations for our tournament,
and Debate coach Sallye Johnson
plans to enlarge the tournaament
next year with invitations to at
least seventy schools throughout
the nation.

Although the topic for next year
hasn't been decided upon yet (the
final announcement won't be
made until August) the A.C. nov-
ice team is ready to move np
into varsity competition.

But wait a minute! Then we
won't have a novice team. All
incoming freshmen and upper
semester students with no prev-
ious college debate experience
are eligable. This could mean
you. If you think you would like
to be on the A. C. debate team
or, you just think you'd like a
controlled argument, see debate
coach Sallye Johnson in room
115 Reynolds She might not want
to argue, but she can point out
a few people who will.

Two candidates for the office
of S.G.A. president and three for
the vice-presidency head a list
of eleven hopefuls entered in the
March 15 S.G.A. elections.

Candidates spoke Tuesday be-
fore approximately 400 members
of the student body as a kick-
off to their campaigns.

S.G.A. Offices

Opponents in the presidential
race are juniors Mike Hays and
Ricky Ray. Hays spoke on
Tuesday in favor of the Spirit
Committee, saying the group
should continue to function next
year. He voiced the opinion that
student participation in campus
life can be bolstered only by an
S.G.A. which provides interesting
activities.

Hays is president of the A
Club, vice - president of Alpha
Kappa Psi, and was student body
president of his Birmingham high
school.

Rickey Ray spoke of the S.G.A.
as a "liason between students
and administration". The student
government has as one of its
purposes, said Ray, the mainten-
ance of "time-honored traditions
of the institution".

Ray has served on the Honor
Court of Alabama College for
2years, this year as Associate
Chief Justice. He has been active
in the Senate since his freshman
year as chairman of class com-
mittees and has served as sec-
retary of Alpha Kappa Psi. Ho
was president of his high school
graduating class.

Candidates for S.G.A. Vice-pres-
ident are Jim Cole, Jim Her-
mecz and Randy McDonald.

Cole has served in the senate
for two years and on the commu-
nications and Fledgling commit-
tees. He has introduced bills which
would liberalize regulations con-
cerning women students. Other of

MIKE HAYS

his activities include Circle K
and serving as Purple Cowtail,
stage manager, and Purple Cab-
inet member.

Cole underlined the amount of
work involved in serving as pres-
ident of the Senate. He said the
office demands a person who
"makes sure that the Senate fun-
ctions and is not just a group of
honorary committees."

Veep candidate Jim Hermecz
has served in the Senate for a
year, where he is chairman of the
elections committee. He has been
active in intramural sports and
has worked in Ramsay Residence
Hall. He is secretary of the Me-
ister social club and has served
in the Purple cast and as a cow-
tail.

Hermecz pointed out his intro-
duction of bills to prevent the
"shortcomings of last year's
S.G.A. elections".

Candidate Randy McDonald,
also a senator, cited improve-
ments which should be made in
the present S.G.A. Students, said
McDonald, should receive a news-

March 16, from 7:30 to 11:30.
Sponsored by the Freshman and
Junior Classes. The theme of the
dance is "Little Abner".

Working together on the dance
is Gary Dennis, Freshman Pres-
ident, and Ester Gaskin, Presid-
ent of the Junior Class. Admis-
sion to the dance will be $1.50

ents are urged to dress tacky as
possible to the dance this Satur-
day.

The S.G.A. Social Committeee
is presenting the Platters, Satur-
day, March 23, in Palmer. More
information on this event will be
released later on this month by
the S.G.A. Communications Com-
mittee. More dances are being
planned for the rest of the year
by the Social Committee for the
students at A.C.

A new face in the dining room
these days is Mr. Tom McKeith-
an, recently appointed manager
of the ARA Slater School and
College Service of A. C.

Mr. McKeithan, a resident of
Birmingham, comes here from a
post with Slater at Samford Un-
iversity. He has also served with
the campany in Greensboro, S.C.
and Wake Forest, S.C.

In cooperation with the S.G.A.

Mr. McKeithan and the cafeteria
staff will present "A night at
the Sultan's Table" March 25.
The affair will be held in Bibb
Graves Hall, with Far Eastern
dinner attire in order.

Entertainment will be provided
by the A.C. "harem" and other
yet-unnamed performers.

Tonight in Comer Auditorium
at 6:30, each student will be able
to hear his Republican candidate
defended by a noted Young Re-
publication from other college
campuses.

The purpose of the symposium
is to acquaint the students with
the national presidential hope-
fuls for the 1968 Republican Pri-
mary. Campaign literature will
be available.

This symposium precedes the
planned mock presidential pri-
mary election to be held Tues-
day, March 12, in the Student
Union to allow students to cast
their votes for one hopeful intro-
duced tonight. The election is
sponsored by the Young Repub-
lican Club.

Tonight at 7 p.m. A. K. Psi
will hold its second professional
meeting of the semester. There
also will be a business meeting
at 6:30 to discuss plans for the
upcoming rush and pledge period.
All students who are business ma-

jors and minors are cordially
invited to attend the professional
meeting.

The present members of the
Eta Upsilon chapter are looking
forward to this semester's rush-
ing and pledge period, especially
the new members initiated last
semester: J. C. Brown, John Ed-
ward Briggs, Lloyd Frey, Dan
Fuqua, Lyon Gilmore, Mickey
Green, Randy Hall, Bobby Hand,
Roy Long, Devere McLennan,
Jim Marks, Reinhard Molgedei,
Larry Morton, Junior Murray,
Phillip Oakes, Kent Salter, Ken-
ny Sproul, Tim Tidwell, and Wil-
liam Wyatt.

After a week end of parties and
entertainment, bids have been
awarded to the lucky men who
went out for rush. The three frat-
ernities on campus each gave
parties in Birmingham. The Delta
Kappa Fraternity entertained at
the Dobbs House at Eastwood
Mall. Everyone had a happy time
with the Omen and Their Luv
assisted by the Easter Bunny.

The Meister Fraternity enter-
tained at the Airport Motel with
the Bosa Nova Band.

The Theta Sigma Fraternity en-
tertained at the Robert's Cafet-
eria in Vestavia with the Dis-
tortians. Pledges begin their work

letter at least monthly concern-
ing the Senate's activities. He
voiced the opinion that more ef-
fective means of reporting senat-
or's absences are needed.

McDonald emphasized that stu-
dents who are active in their stu-
dent government are learning cit-
izenship and how to accomplish
worthwhile aims. He pointed out
that students "accomplish noth-
ing by lying on the front steps
of Palmer," while mature appro-
aches to the administration have
proven fruitful in case of stu-
dent requests.

Candidates for S.G.A. position
of social chairman are David

"Annie" Cast
To Be Told
This Friday

All over the A. C. campus this
week came the cries of "Oh, I
don't want to be late," and Gosh,
I sure hope I get a part". These
came from that group of people
trying out for the smash Broad-
way musical, "Annie Get Your
Gun", to be presented in Palmer
auditorium on May 2, 3, and 4.

The week started with the sing-
ing tryouts with everyone from
Greenwad's secretary (Guy Dow-
ney) to Ruby Red (Gwin Whit-
man) trying out.

Then on Tuesday the dancing
tryouts rolled around. The boys
really had a blast learning their
Indian dance and the girls really
enjoyed watching or so it seem-
ed.

On Wednesday the reading try-
outs were held. These were the
really important ones. The ten-
sion of all week was built up
and everyone gave it their all,
trying to snatch a part.

Tonight the call backs will be
heard. Then Mr. Chichester, Mr.
Midaugh, and Miss Crew will
start their Herculean task of sel-
ecting a cast.

On Friday at 12 noon the list
of the cast will be posted at the
S.U.B., in Reynolds, Calkins, and
at Bibb Graves. Good Luck!

We all stood out on Palmer stage and sang the Alma Mater —
not with the organ this time — gazing up at the round ceiling and
the medallions and outer row of people's heads against the wall,
even up in the balcony. I won't be on Palmer stage again I guess;
made up as the distinguished old man for the third and last time.
The snow had come during joint dress rehearsal, typing up the be-
ginning and end for some of us. Two years before Butch Caldwell
had encouraged me about try-outs as we had walked out into the
snow from old Third Napier.

And last year I had really gnawed up Rick Spitler's pipe, as
the professor. And when we gave fifteen for the Purples not too
much came out, and we really hadn't felt really disappointed. None
of us Golds had lost before, and none of the Purples had won be-
fore.

And Cardwell's furniture was stacked up backstage, and all the
theatre set scenery was not going to be fussed over again. And no
telling what was going to happen to the marquee and all those
light bulbs in all of those rasped-out holes.

And the old eyes welled-up a time or two and some girl and
the eyes kept dry and here's my thanks to all the people I mixed
up all that paint with. (We will not tell you how we arrived at all
that spectrum from our primary red, yellow, and blue.)

So now the critique is over and soon just about all the talk

will be gone. (The column is late, late, already.)

And next year College Night will again be the best ever.

♦ * *

Do you know that I actually went to the unrequired convoca-
tion? Yes. And many of you, my fellow students, were not there.

The flags had been out, and that's pretty tacky. But, by the way,
we haven't had a real convocation in a long time. You can't even
remember how many cuts you have.

S.U.B Sitters NOT REQUIRED To Vote

By Carol Weir

The scene in front of Palmer at 10 a.m. Tues-
day resembled a mass reprieve from the gas
chamber. Convocation was over? Guess again —
it was just beginning. Word leaked out, it seems,
that the assembly was not "required."

But still stranger sights awaited the observer
within. The sparse number of students who seem-
ed to consider Convocation important enough to
pass up a delightful hour in the S.U.B. were
huddled timorously in the rows nearest the back.
For a quick get-away? So it would seem.

And so it seems that there is a major hang-up
at A.C. about getting involved in worthwhile stu-
dent activities. Some of those students who went
to such pains to find the Convocation "not re-
quired" will be the ones who consider themselves
"not required" to vote March 15. Technically,
just as they were not required to attend the as-

sembly, neither are they required to vote. An
it's just as well— since they probably don't kn
who is running.

The Convocation was for the purpose of giv
the student body an opportunity to hear
paign speeches from candidates for S.G.A. office
This may well be the most important Convoc
tion of the year, yet only a fraction of the sti
dent body attended. Needless to say, the sa
students who found the assembly beneath the
notice will remark snidely that this or that
tion is "in control" and "wants to run everything
May they never dream that the blame or pra
as the case may be, lies with themselves.

And may the people tending the polls nex
Friday reply caustically to the first student
eye the ballot askance and say "Who's that?"
"S.U.B.-Sitters-During-Convocation aren't REQUIR
ED to vote."

"Sinking Sand" War Tries Patriotism

By Gary Mitchell

Patriotism seems to be a word disapproved of
by imany Americans today. Many of us in these
United States have forgotten the words of Presi-
dent Kennedy when he stated in his inaugural
address, "Ask not what your country can do for
you — ask what you can do for your country."
And more: "Let every nation know, whether it
wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any
price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, sup-
port any friend, oppose any foe to assure the
survival and success of liberty."

Frightfully enough, today we are involved in a
"sinking sand" war in Asia, which has tried the
patriotism of every American. When we see our
fellow Americans demonstrating against our gov-
ernment, as we so often do today, there must
be a time of re-evaluation of our purpose in Asia.

President Johnson stated our purpose in a
speech which said: "We do not regard ourselves
as the policemen of the universe. We do not go
around the world looking for quarrels in which
we can intervene. Quite the contrary. We have
recognized that, just we are not gendarmes of the
universe, neither are we the magistrate of the
universe . . . But we are in Vietnam because the
issues posed there are deeply intertwined with
our own security and because the outcome of the
struggle can profoundly affect the nature of the

world in which we and our children live." Ui
doubtedly, we did have good motives when
intervened in Southeast Asia, but what about t(
day? Are we winning? And what about dissen-
tion?

It has been said that this war has brought
about more desertion and draft-dodging than
any war in American history. Is this the Ameri-
can attitude about her country? Senator Fulbright
stated: "In the abstract we celebrate freedom of
opinion as a vital part of our patriotic liturgy.
It is only when some Americans exercise that
right that other Americans are shocked." In the
past, support of one's country was taken for
granted. But what of today? Should Americans
be allowed to protest against their government?

Lt. Gen. Lewis W. Walt in a speech given in
Harveyville, Kansas, stated that the anti-war
demonstrations in the United States are encour-
aging North Vietnam to continue fighting. Con-
tinuing, he said, "I think they are going to keep
the war going just as long as they possibly can.
They believe that if they keep it going on long
enough the impatience of the American people
will force the South Vietnamese government into
a compromise."

Since Americans are involved in a bloody fight-
ing war in another country, the least we here in
our safe homes can do is to support them. But
where does protest end and patriotism begin?

slips for class officers is

Letters To The Editor

Editor:

People who cannot understand
what they read in newspapers
should not criticize those who
write in them. I am referring to
Mr. Dawson's letter in the last
issue of THE ALABAMIAN. He
misunderstood Mr. Rountree on
two issues.

First, Mr. Dawsan said he was
appalled by people who criticize
the newspapers for printing vio-
lence, filth etc. while using baby
births, Eagle Scouts, etc., as a
filler on the last page. Mr.
Rountree never mentioned baby
births or anything like that.
He said the Taylor-Burton scandal
was given more room in the pap-
ers than the breaking of the
world's record in three major
track events in the Olympics.
Baby births and the Olympics can
hardly be compared. Even com-
peting in the Olympics is an ev-
ent of great and rare achieve-
ment. News of births is not rare.

Secondly, Mr. Dawson seems
to have misunderstood Mr. Roun-
tree's stand on Playboy. He
seems to think Mr. Rountree is
against it. Perhaps he got this
idea because Mr. Rountree called
it pornography. If Mr. Dawson
will look pornography up in the
dictionary he will find it means
"writings, pictures, etc., intended
to arouse sexual desire." I think
most people will agree Playboy
falls into this catagory. However,
this does not mean it does not
have some very intellectual, tho-

ught provoking articles.

Mr. Rountree said, "Many wo-
men in the church would be sho-
cked at seeing a church-goer
reading Heffner's pornography
but never would they themselves
miss the gossip section of this
month's Harper's!" This is quiet
obviously a cut against the hy-
pocritical women who criticize
something they know nothing
about while hungering after cheap
gossip. Also one might notice Mr.
Rountree's use of the word "read-
ing" rather than "looking at it".

True baby births should take
the back page to crime and scan-
dal but should politics and inter-
national relations? If it takes a
murder, rape and scandal to
sell a newspaper, I think we bet-
ter look around and see what
our culture is coming to. If you
really open your eyes, you may
be surprised at the answer you
find!

To the Editor:

How proud I am of Alabama
College, its students, faculty and
staff.

The Purple-Gold Basketball
Game, Open House, College Night
and all the other related Home-
coming-Alumni activities were
excellent.

Hundreds of alumni, who like
myself, attended the functions re-
turned to their homes and com-
munities "bursting with pride"

because of the warm, coopera-
tive spirit of the Alabama College
family.

Teaching at a college myself, I
realize the countless hours of
work, countless number of stu-
dents, faculty and staff who work
"as a team" "just getting ready"
for such an activity as College
Night Weekend.

Heartfelt "thanks" to all of

you for making my day one

which I shall never forget.

Sincerely yours,

Dear Editor,

With cries of "Hey, it's not
required!" and, "We don't have
to go!" the students of Alabama
College beat a hasty retreat from
Palmer Hall Tuesday morning.

Other cries have been heard as
well— phrases like — ". . . . hope
we get out early for Christmas,"
and, "... can't the S. G. A. do
something about this?". Both
kinds come from "loyal?" stud-
ents of this College: students who
claim on one hand to be behind
A. C. while on the other they
won't even take thirty-five min-
utes to listen to the people who
will be the officers of the S. G. A.
next year.

I am no 'goody-goody" school
spirit guy, win the game and to
hell with the academic work at
a college, but I do feel it is nec-
essary for a school, particularly

Lotch Contraband

By Keith Harrelson

A writer who gets his work published for the general public i
can have a pretty hard time. The very first thing that is taught to
a student in a school of journalism is that he must be very careful
and precise in his wording. He is reminded again and again that a
lackadasical use of words can result in a complete misinterpretation
of facts by quick-scanning subscribers. This is what sometimes costs
a journalist his job.

A column writer has it even worse — a sloppy phrase on his part
can cost him much more than his job. A columnist who speaks of
a popular politician can lose some of his readers. A columnist who
speaks ill of a public figure or movie star can lose his estate in a
slander lawsuit. A columnist who speaks ill of certain organizations,
such as the Mafia, can lose "mebbe a little mo' dan ev'ryting he
got".

This was my case in the last issue of The Alabamian. All I
meant to do was to give a gentle praising review of the year's big
event, College Night. I wrote the rough draft on scratch paper, and
then, so as to be completely and objectively fair about the matter,
I weighed and measured the opposite amounts of favorable mention.
I struck a word here, and I added a word there, and made so many
notes and alterations that my rough draft soon looked like one of
Miss Puryear's graded themes. Ultimately, I arrived at what seemed
to be a perfectly balanced article. As I reread it, I decided that I
had done a masterful job of commending both Purples and Golds
without showing preference or prejudice for either one. I deemed
it safe for newspaper publication.

I was, of course, wrong. I went home immediately after the
per came out, and when I came back Sunday night, I discove
traces of a few minor repercussions to my writing. As I op«
the door to my room, I saw the floor littered with shreds of
article ripped from the paper. A note from someone else was 1
on my bed — written in German. Its contents could not be succe

one the size of A. C, to have a
great deal of "school spirit". The
best and perhaps even easiest
way is by supporting the Stud-
end Government Association, at
least through the carefully weigh-
ed vote of each student for the
person he feels best qualified for
a seat on the governing body of
the school.

How is this possible when only
twenty percent of the entire stu-
dent body show up to listen to
the campaign speeches? How is
it possible when eighty percent
of the students on this campus
would rather spend their precious
time drinking a coke in the S.U.B.
than listening to the future lead-
ers of the S.G.A. in their bid for
office?

It's too late now. Those mem-
bers of the emormous eighty per-
cent who missed the campaign
speeches can't hear them now. One
thing they can do, however, is
ask some of the members of
that tenacious twenty what was
said Tuesday, then go out March
15th and cast their vote for the
ones who in their opinion are
best suited for the offices in the
S.G.A.

iheralizes Rules
Concerning Drink

iinghamton, N. Y. (LP.)— The
incil of the State University
New York at Binghamton re-
itly adopted an overall policy
icerning the use of alcoholic
r erages on the campus. One
the provisions of the new
icy will permit students to
r e alcoholic beverages in their
itory rooms for their own
in their own quarters,
le council action concerning
tholic beverages was in two
•arts. First, it adopted in total,
as university policy, a report
submitted by the Council Commit-
tee on Alcoholic Beverages. Sec-
ondly, it placed a date of imple-
mentation in the hands of the
Dean of Students and the Student
Affairs Committee.

The committee made a five-
point recommendation. The first
point noted that the council pre-
viously has authorized the sale
of beer in the Student Center, and
that the process of obtaining a
beer license is now going on.
The second point noted that a
previous council action authoriz-
ing the free serving of beverages
at speficied functions. This prac-
tice began in January 1967.

The third point made it per-
missible for students to have al-
coholic beverages in their dormi-
tory rooms. Points four and five,
respectively, dealt with the es-
tablishment by the administration
of rules concerning beverages.

The undertaking of responsibil-
ity by the student judicial system
for dealing with beverage infrac-
tions finalized the recommenda-
tion.

The committee gathered con-
siderable data on how other uni-
versities both public and private
are dealing with this question.

It is the opinion of your com-
mittee," read the recommenda-
tion, "that students of SUNY-
Binghamton are of age where
they should be permitted to de-
cide whether or not to partake
of alcoholic beverages on cam-
Pus— that to give them this choice
Is a part of growing up and to
restrict it accomplishes little and
encourages ignoring of the rules.

"This proposed new policy will
add to the responsibilities of the
Administration— particularly with
regard to campus functions. We
believes, however, that at many
student gotherings the limited use
of alcoholic punches or similar
beverages does provide a means
°f improved social intercourse;
and that the benefit thus gained
outweighs the 'additional burdens
Placed on Administration."

Strand Reopens; Shows
Flicks Worth Watching

Peace Demonstrators March Saturday

by Randy Troup

The Strand is to be commended
for opening back up from time
to time to show good movies.
The Family Way was a fine but
not great movie, though certain-
ly one well worth seeing. Haley
Mills was not really necessary
for the part of the bride. I thou-
ght she might have been a bit
glossy for the show; at least she
still had her type-cast associat-
ion that was at least a very small
bit distracting.

I'm not positively certain that
I could completely believe the
boy's dilema. But I actually felt
rather miserable for him at tim-
es.

John Mills was excellent as
the father and the only one gripe
is that the show was not really
that much centered on him at
first. His wife was also very ap-
pealing—did a fine job. The show
had extra appeal because it is
English, yet it was still essent-
ially a play on film.

Bonnie and Clyde is another
film that is around now, that a
many people have probably seen.
I think I would dare say that
there has been a considerable
snob-movement behind the film.
By usual standards the thing
isn't impressive, certainly it isn't
spectacular.

The final death scene wasn't
quite the spectacle I had expec-
ted. However, I believe that
Buck's geting shot was the only
noticable time I've really felt
and comprehended a shooting and
death on screen. And all of the
shooting in the movie was quiet
unusually real. I dare say that
it is one of the most significant
points of the movie.

Finances Delay
New Dormitories

Mr. Lee Barclay, business man-
ager of Alabama College, said
that construction of two new dor-
mitories has been delayed be-
cause of financing difficulties.
The dormitories were previously
scheduled to be completed by
next fall.

Mr. Barclay said that the dif-
ficulties have apparently been
worked out. The College hopes
to complete the final arrange-
ments and open bids in three to
four weeks.

The new buildings should be
completed by January, 1968.

Bids on the renovation of Wills
Hall will open on Tuesday, Mar-
ch 12. The building is to be
converted into a classroom fac-
ility to be used primarily by the
Education Department.

It is hoped that the renovation
will be completed by September,
1968.

Bonnie and Clyde were simply
to glamorized and pretty, no mat-
ter what. The show was finally al-
most a burlesque that made its
significant impression by exag-
geration. The script was really
pretty ordinary. The return of
the grudging sheriff was almost
too much — especially his melo-
drama with Blanche.

I simply think there was the
right blend of glamor and corn
(Flatt and Scruggs music, some
of the camera takes) and styl-
ish nostalgia— the thirties (it was
twenties a couple of years ago) —
to produce a flick to be lapped
up by the pseudo-public.

The whole movie was definat-
ely not real— parts were. But the
scene with Bonnie's mother was
just too out-of-it-arty. It was ef-
fective, but the show would have
had to have been much weirder
and wilder for it to fit.

Anyway, Bonnie and Clyde is
a movie you're supposed to go
see. And big new star Faye
Dnuaway looks fine.

S. G. A.

(Paid Political Adv. by Randy McDonald)

By Gary Mitchell
On Saturday afternoon about
eighty peace marchers journey
from Woodrow Wilson Park in
Birmingham to Kelly Ingram
Park to voice their views on
Vietnam.

Among the speakers were Ho-
sea, leader of the SCLC in the
South, members of the Young
Socialist Pariy, SNCC, and Stu-

dents for Democratic Society.

Although the turnout was small,
the conglomeration of marchers
was persistent in its efforts.

Members of the group were
closely observed by the Commis-
sion to Preserve the Peace, a
state organization, the Jefferson
County Sheriff's Department, and
the Birmingham Police Depart-
ment. There were no incidents.

A Well Qualified Candidate

Elect Jim Cole Veep

Running for Vice-President of the S.G.A.
jjjjf ^S^ is Jim Cole, a well qualified candidate for

jHH the office. Serving the past two years in
the senate, he has introduced many bills
and worked on various committees. Besides
work in S.G.A., he has been active in other
aspects of campus life. During his two
years here he has worked on College
Night, this year as a Cabinet member,
worked on the Alabamian staff, and num-
erous other activities.
Because of his qualifications and interest in S.G.A., seriously
consider Jim Cole for the office of Vice-President when you
vote on March 15.

Managers To
Leave The
A. C. Squad

By Bill Toms
Sports Editor

Unheralded for their contribu-
tion to the basketball team are
two men who have devoted their
time and energy for two years
to the team without ever asking
anything in return. Only their
love for the game and a chance
to be near it was all they asked
for.

Mike Dutton has been Assistant
Coach for the past two years.
His title is unofficial, but his
services to the team and coach
have been invaluable to both.

When Mikes graduates this
year, his advice to the team
members, his help to Coach Da-
vis and his helping scout for
new players will be sorely miss-
ed.

Mike said, "I really enjoyed
working with the boys for these
two years. And I appreciate
working with Coach Davis for
the experience and help he gave
me. I think it will be real valu-
able when I do start coaching."
I'm sure it will, Mike.

For two years Joe Trammel has
been our All-Conference man-
ager. It will be hard to replace
a man of his enthusiasm for
the team. "I think A.C. basket-
ball players are the greatest guys
in the world, and they will over-
come losing. Thanks to Coach
Davis for letting me be in his
program. It was my most worth-
while memory at A.C."

THE ALABAMIAN retracts its
statement in the February 29
edition that "officiating was ex-
tremely bad" in the final Purple-
Gold basketball. The remark was
in "extremely bad" taste and not
in the interest of goodsmanship.
A public apology to those invol-
ved is in order.

Team To Lose
Worthy Captain

Mark Riggins, team captain
and leader of the basketball team,
closed out his intercollegiate ca-
ceer in style. He scored 18
points, hauled down 11 rebounds
and spearheaded a stunning up-
set of Troy State in the first
round of the conference tourna-
ment. Mark said, "Beating Troy
was the biggest thrill I've had."

Mark closed out the season
with a respectable 10-point av-
erage per game.

He prepped at Franklin Sim-
son High School in Franklin Ky.,
where he was selected to the
All-Southern Ky. team. As a for-
ward, he averaged 18 points in
his senior year. Next Mark play-
ed for Cumberland Junior Col-
lege. He started for two years
and was the team's leading scor-
er. Selected as M.V.P. in his
second year, Riggins led his
team to the National Junior Col-
lege Tournament, where his team
placed ninth in the nation.

Mark Riggins has led the team
this year with his hustle, spirit
and leadership. When Bill Round-
tree said, "We'll miss him on
next year's team," he spoke for
all the team members.

A. C. Downs Jax State

By Bill Toms
Sports Editor

Spring sports have officially started at A.C. Last Saturday o
Falcon golf kicked off the spring campaign with a 10-8 win ove
Jacksonville State.

Leading this year's squad is Ron Minson, number one man; j\ n
Threet, number two man; Jay Jackson, number three man, and
John Timmons, number four man. Two ready reserves are Budd'
Long and Irbin Fabin, who hope to see action this year. The tear!
has a new coach in Church Burns, the pro down at the schoo
course. His knowledge and experience with the game will he
valuable asset to this year's team.

The win over Jacksonville gives us a 1-0 record in the confer,
ence. Here's how the match came out-
Ron Minson lost. 2-1, shot 76. Jim Threet lost 3-0, shot 85
First team lost 24-Vfe. Jack Jackson won 2'->-\' 2 . shot 76. Joh
Timmons won 3-0, shot 75. Second team won 3-0. Final tean
score was 1-8.

With a lot of intercollegiate experience. Minson's fourth year.
Threet's second, Jackson's third, and Timmons's second, the tea
could better the record it accumulated last year and maybe bette
that Number Two in the conference. Minson, for 3 years the team's
m.v.p., seems to think so.

"We seemed to do pretty good. The boys want to win this year,
and we have more experience," Troy and Florence will tell the
tale; Ron says, "They'll be the teams to beat."

I agree with Ron. Of course I'm an habitual optimist, but then
I've got faith, baby. Anyway "sock it to me" and team, I've ordered
the hurricanes to cease.

Intramurals To Resume

Badminton is on the way! Now that College Night is over and
things begin to settle down into a somewhat organized routine, in-
tramurals will again assume their share of attention on the A.C.
campus. Badminton and table tennis are in the planning stages and
will begin soon in Myrick Hall every Monday through Thursday
at 4:00.

For those students who can't seem to tear themselves away from
the Tea House, we even have an activity close at hand for you.
Bowling intramurals are also beginning for all interested students.
For more information on bowling intramurals you may contact
Beth Moulds or Faye King in Hanson Hall.

March 11 and March 13 are two important dates to remember,
if you had rather be on stage than in the audience next year when
Orchesis presents the annual dance concert — these are the <
for try-outs which will be held in Bibb Graves Hall at 6:30 each
night. All those who wish to try-out are asked to be prompt.

Have you noticed the number of kites bobbing around above the
soccer field lately? (Looks like spring is finally on the way.)
must be a contagious recreational pastime because I keep seeing
more and more kites down there every day— looks like lots of fun,
too, if your kite doesn't get eaten up by a hungry tree as several
have been.

latters To Appear Saturday

"World's Most Outstanding Vocal
Group" On Their Way To A. C.

fabulous Platters will appear Saturday night at 8:15 p.m. in
Imer Hall. Admission is free to A.C. students, $2.50 to non-stu-
ents. Students may get an advance ticket by showing their identi-
ation cards.

The Platters, who made record
hits of such songs as "Only
You", "The Great Pretender'",
"Harbour Lights", and "Twilight
Time", will be appearing Satur-
day night at Alabama College.

This twice-voted "World's Most
Outstanding Vocal Group" has
warbled all over Europe, Asia,
Africa and the Americas, and ap-
peared before millions of fans
from the London Palladium to
outposts of the French Foreign
Legion. Their stage has included
such heterogenous settings as
concert halls, theatres, nightclubs,
ice palaces and sports arenas.

The group, whose recent hits
are "With This Ring" and "Sweet
Sweet Lovin' ", were organized
thirteen years ago by Buck Ram,
their arranger-manager, and Her-
bert Reed, the bass singer.

They were propelled to fame
a dozen years ago during a wave
of rock-and-roll music and are
one of the few groups which be-
gan at that time to still be able
to draw a full house. VARIETY
(February 21. 1968) recently said
of the Platters, "... one of the
ultimates in r & r's hall of fame,
and as a hot campus act to be-

gin with they sparked a wild
standing ovation."

Today, after ten gold records
and millions of miles of travel,
Herbert Reed, who first organiz-
ed "just a group of friends" and
coaxed them into song around
Los Angeles hot dog stands, feels
that he is not being immodest
but just stating a fact when he
says, "Of all the singers who
started during the rock-and-roll
period, only three acts can still
draw a full house — Elvis Presley,
Brenda Lee and The Platters."

There is much evidence to sup-
port his claim — The Platters have
two albums which have become
"perpetual inventory" in all mu-
sicc and record stores. Both al-
bums were listed by Billboard,
Variety, and Cash Box, as best
sellers every week for a period
of two years. "Encore of Golden
Hits" has been listed a best sel-
ler for 184 weeks and reached its
first million in sales in 1962.
"More Encore of Golden Hits"
earned its first gold record award
from RIAA in 1965. Both are stili
going strong.

In the singles department, The
Platters have consistently hit the

feel the necessity of a pocket flashlight to read
book titles. However, the elimination of this press-
ing problem has led to the formation of another.

Now instead of tripping and stumbling through
the stacks, one trips and stumbles all the way to
the library across an ill-lighted area of the cam-
pus. Certainly the new problem is not so irk-
some as the old, but it is a problem nonetheless.

Observation reveals that a majority of the stu-
dents to use the library nightly use the sidewalk
which cuts diagonally across the grassy area by
King House. There is one light on this walk-
way between the old and new libraries and a
great many places on the sidewalk where one
may stumble.

The route from the S.UJ3. to the library is

equally hazardous, with not a single light between
Oliver Carmichael and Bloch halls. Likewise the
road in front of Palmer Hall, by which the resi-
dents of Napier reach the library and the rest
of the main campus is poorly lighted.

Perhaps the placement of the new library ;
not so much created a new problem as under-
lined the old one. Better lighting has been as de-
sirable in the past as now. From the standpoint
of crime prevention, although the problem is noi
great on this campus, an unprovoked attack re-
cently on a student by members of another school
occurred in a dark area of the campus which was
yet very close to the S.U.B. Such things cannot
always be prevented, but the way should not be
made easy by inadequate illumination of such a
walkway as that to the library.

Therefore in the interest of seeing no sprained
ankles, skinned knees, or imuggings, let's have
some improvements in campus lighting.

Teachers Should Share In Prosperity

By Garry D. Mitchell

Banker, musician, accountant, lawyer or teacher
are just a few of the professions desired by the
average college grad. But is your ambition to
make the dollar or to improve your profession?

If you choose to be a teacher, a desire to im-
prove is definitely needed. We are witnessing a
revolution in teaching methods and teachers to-
day. Next year, we too in Alabama may experi-
ence the effects of this revolution in the form
of the teacher strike. Teachers are no longer
taking the back seat while the students they
teach go on to greater prosperity.

With families to support, teachers deserve more
than they get in Alabama. After improvements
in Mississippi next year, we may be sitting at the

The

"bottom of the class" in education. Why?
worker works harder when he is paid more.

In our capitalistic society buying and spending
are very important. Yet here, the problem of no
money arises. Alabama loses a lot of teachers to
other states who provide the money needed to
live in our Great Society.

Some say the teacher is like the minister and
I agree, but like the minister today the teacher
goes in for the money as much as the responsibili-
ties he feels for his students. We all have a re-
sponsibility to our fellow man, but it seems
strange that the more money involved, the greater
this responsibility is felt.

So here's to last week's A.E.A.! May our next
year be a prosperous one financially for all,
particularly for our teachers. We need them badly.

Oreophila

By Randy Troup

It's a different new walk from the library to the S.U.B., across
in front of the King House, and it's nice. And walking down the
street toward the quadrangle gives a different view of part of the
campus that you don't see on foot usually.

But when you step out the doors of Oliver Cromwell Carmichael
Hall, onto that crazy ramp, the windows of Wills Hall loom up,
dark, at you. But that crazy old metal-woman statue is in the new
library, still in the foyer with the pencil sharpeners. And that enig-
matic little elephant is there on one of the desks.

And so you don't barf on progress any more and concede that
the new library— named after the man who was named after the
Puritan — is really quite nice and comfortable.

But there's no New York Times Room and there aren't any
patterned ceiling beams to stare up at.

But one thing is cursed certain: those carrells — those crazy hu-
man pigeon-holes— are not human. A great lack of soul. You'll never
catch me in one of them. No.

We revived Oedipus and did it for the Birmingham Festival of
Arts. We were amazed that we were able to put the show back to-
gether in less than a week's rehearsal. And then we presented it
at Ramsay this past weekend and in the two nights about one hun-
dred people came. We played to about two dozen people the first
night.

But, the show was a good experience. And, surprisingly, the
show was generally better the second time around. Most of the
roles were mellower and presented with more ease and variety in
interpretation.

Friday is the last day
for purchasing gradu-

ation announcements

in the book store.

You know, we recently had a bathroom crisis up here on old
Third East Main. Things were awfully bad down at the old facility.
Poor!

Things went without a tidying-up for days— you just wouldn't
believe it. Actually. It was all really very bad.

Also, you know, the maids that "work" here in Main get a sur-
prise or a jolt, or something, from some of us immodest bod's as
we go from the bathroom to our cubicles.

We've had the word to wear appropriate apparel when journey-
ing to the corner facility. There won't be any more walking starkly
down the halls, I guess.

But, I understand that there are men janitors in the girls' dorms.
So, jjust switch the two. Very logical, I should think.

• • *

Listen, we're all going to get together soon and watch the crab-
apple tree out by East Main (across from the Old Library— sigh)
bloom! It should be a real happening.

Then we're going to chop it down as part of Main's Great Reno-
vation and Refurbishment!

• * '

Yea, listen. We've got lots of new doors in Main now. Doors all
over the place. You used to think it was really a labyrinth. Every
separate bit of all has its own personal doors. Oh, it's really fine . . .

Ghetto Plight
Necessitates
More Welfare

By Mark Ford

In its recent report on civil
disorder, the National Advisory
Commission on Urban Disorders
portrayed the shocking profile of
the ghetto Negro in America, as
one, splitting apart two societies
white and black. Unless that
trend is reversed, warns the re-
port, a shattering social crisis
will ensue.

Commission findings were that
discrimination begins at birth and
that such discrimination affects
the child's life expectancy. Due
to his squalid surroundings the
ghetto baby is three times more
likely to die in his first year
than a fellow white baby; if he
survives, he will die seven years
sooner than his contemporary
white brother.

Further, when the ghetto baby
enters school, he is in a sub-
standard educational situation;
thus he falls further away from
his white brother with whom he
will later compete in seeking a
job.

Accordingly, the Commission
stated that the white community
is actually deceiving itself with
its welfare system, which reaches
only a fraction of the ghetto's
ill-housed, ill-fed, and ill-clothed
people. It seems apparent now
that we must guarantee an in-
come to a ghetto baby's family
to promote a decent standard of
living for all and to demolish
and obliterate the ghetto from
the American scene.

Glenn Hewett Reports

THE WAR IN VIETNAM

The Alabamian takes pleasure is announcing the forthcoming
coverage of the war in Vietnam by our own special correspondent,
Mr. Glenn Hewett, of Birmingham, Alabama.

By special arrangement with Mr. Hewett, this newspaper, along
with other weekly publications throughout the South, will bring
you an exclusive weekly account of the war, covering all branches
of the United States military armed forces.

On his arrival in Vietnam this week, he will immediately join
our military forces and go wherever the best coverage of the war
can be obtained.

Hewett is a former United States Marine, having served during
the Korean War years. He has also served in the Alabama Na
tional Guard and the United States Army Reserve.

He is also a former weekly newspaper editor and publisher in
his hometown of Arab, Alabama. He returns to working at what he
himself calls "my first and only real love, newspaper writing," after
an absence of several years in other fields of work.

He is former owner of Map Publishing Company, which he re
cently closed in order to return to newspaper work. He is, as well,
a "self taught" cartographer; his company was engaged in develop-
ing maps for educational, business and other uses. Valuable con-
tributions resulted from that work for use by law enforcement
agencies, in crime control programs. Reproductions of many of his
maps on Alabama cities and counties are now a part of the Sam
ford University Library Collection in Birmingham.

He is widely known throughout his native Alabama as an active
church, civic and humanitarian worker.

Lotch Contraband

By Keith Harrelson

I swore I wouldn't touch a blade to it until the temperature
reached seventy-five degrees. It's been close to six weeks now,
and I can tell you, twelve tons of hair on your head can be quite
bothersome, no matter what the temperature is. A quick cold spell
can come up, and you'll be glad for something to keep the back of
your neck warm, but then the thermometer can run high and you
feel like hanging by your heels all day just to keep it out of your
sweaty face. So it has been for me. I simply must go home soon,
and, in order for the family to recognize me as their son and not
as a hirsute rebel, I must make the detestable journey to— THE
BARBERSHOP.

There isn't a good barbership in the world. Not for me that is.
Everybody else can go into the place, sit down, and come out look-
ing fine. Nope. Not me. I thin* they all have a secret agreement
about me; they all lay for me, and do their utmost to make me
feel miserable when I walk away. They haul out their dullest scis-
sors, pmchiest shavers, and smelliest aprons. They wolf down LSD
capsules so they can have the right attitude about the way my
hair should look. They tell the shoeshine boy to keep picking at me
to shine my new shoes, and they always turn the television to the
channel with old re-runs of "Our Miss Brooks". They charge me
two dollars, and they make sure that I'm bleeding profusely behind
both ears as I leave.

I tried to escape all this trouble one time by going to one of
the "style shops" that are so elegantly advertised as being the
latest and best in "men's hair care." These places have the same
reputation as male stylists in ladies' beauty salons, and this one
was no exception.

As I opened the door, the perfumed air assailed my nostrils. I
was greeted by a limp-wristed lisper who smiled nicely and direct-
ed me to a chair with pink tassels hanging from the armrests. He
gave me a book of photographs showing different styles of "hair-
cuts" (he winced at my mention of the word— "Oh, my! But thath
tho crude!") I could get a "Manhattan", a "Knickerbocker", or a
"Ladies' man". I asked him to just kind of shorten it all over, and,
though he didn't like the idea too much, it took him an hour and
forty-five minutes to do it. That was all okay, but when he wanted
to put a hair net on my head and spray me with some kind of
flitty aerosol, I told him I wanted an itemized bill right then. He
acted very hurt, and finally charged me nineteen-fifty.

Spring Sports Teams Set
For Great Victorious Season

By Bill Toms

When our A.C. golf team defeated Jax State three weeks ago,
they officially launched our 'Spring Sports program. Our baseball
team has already played three games and are scheduled for a
double-header against Athens this weekend. The tennis team will
begin its season tomorrow against Marion and play Athens on
Saturday.

Baseball finds the team working under the leadership of a sub-
stitute coach for Frank Lightfoot. New Coach Fleming has been
working the team hard with over a month of practice. In a pre-
season practice game the team defeated Marion 3-2. The official
season started with a 10-6 loss to Huntingdon and another loss, 9-6,
to St. Bernard. Leading this year's team will be pitchers Mike Hays
and Junior Murray. Ed Briggs, twice M.V.P., James Carter, leading
hitter last year, Larry Patterson, Bubba McGuire and ole reliable
John Ed Leman.

The best of the newcomers appears to be Mike Killimet, All-
State baseball in Tennessee, Dan Loftin, Larry Popwell, and Neal
Hodo. What the team will need to win is some good pitching and
more hitting power. It appears that those scholarship teams in our
conference are going to get a run for their money this year as the
team looks hopefully for its first winning season since 1962.

Coach Ruffner's tennis team will be hard-pressed this year to
surpass the 10-4 record of the 1967 season. Compiling an average
15-3 season over the past four years, A.C. has been one of the top
small college teams in the South. The past four years has also
found our Falcons the terrors of the conference: 1964, A.C.C.
champs; 1965, third place; 1966, A.C.C. champs and 21-0; 1967, sec-
ond place.

Returning this year is captain Bill Toms and Mike Lewanski,
both All-Tournament last year, Wayne Faught and Sid McLaughlin.
Robert Walters, Joe Barber, Rick Dunn, Mike McNeal and Charles
Kelly are all fighting for starting berths in the top six. Walters
and Dunn appear to be the best of the newcomers. Latecomers
Mike Malone and Reg Patterson also hope to break into the start-
ing line-up.

After a month of rigorous training the team is looking forward
to the season, which will begin at home tomorrow against Marion.

The golf team has started its schedule. With a 1-2 record, a
10-8 win over Jax State, and two losses to Marion, the team hopes
, to better last year's 9-7-1 record.

After the tremendous success of the Spring Sports Convocation
there's no telling what our teams might do. I hope they do better
than the convocation.

The Athens Bears will compete

ens carries a 14-4 record into
the tournament. One of those de-

Coach Fleming Enthusiastic
About Baseball Chances

By Larry Mickwee

If you take a walk down by
the athletic field these days, you
can hear a brand new sound; or
let's say refresh the memory of
an old one. It's the crack of the
bat and the chatter in the in-
field. You know it as baseball,
and it's that time of year again!

With only one week of practice
behind our team new coach Tom
Fleming (who played professional
baseball in the N.Y.Y. organiza-
tion for 4 years) is enthusiastic
about the upcoming season. Most
of all, Coach Fleming said that
he was "well-pleased" with the
spirit and enthusiasm the boys
have shown so far.

There are eight returnees from
last year's squad, three of whom
will be on the mound for the
Falcons — Mike Hays, Johnny

Shivers, and Junior Murray;
while Ed Briggs, Larry Patter-
son, John Ed Lenam and Bubba
McGuire will bring their experi-
ence to the infield and outfield.
Also, there may be new faces in
the line-up with an addition of
seven new freshmen to the
squad.

The Falcons play Saturday at
home against Athens.

Alabama College Library
now has a Xerox 914

clopedias, etc., may be

Marion Cadets
Down Golfers
In First Match

Marion Institute Cadet golfers
downed our A.C. Falcons last
Thursday by the score of 19-8.

The always strong Marion team
was led by John Taylor, who shot
a 73 to defeat Ron Minson with a
75 total. Jay Jackson, our num-
ber 3 man, also shot a 75.

The loss gives the team a 1-1
record.

On Wednesday the Cadets de-
feated A.C. 24-3 for our second
consecutive loss. All four start-
ers were defeated by the fine
Marion team.

Student Unrest

Jackson Speaks
To Y.A.F. Group

At the meeting of the Young
Americans for Freedom Tuesday
night, Mr. Jesse J. Jackson de-
livered an informative speech on
the "Problems of Student Unrest
in America."

Before beginning, Mr. Jackson
distinguished between the prob-
lems of the students of yester-
day and the problems of the stu-
dent of today. The problems of
today are more severe and deep.
Students are involved in a power
struggle. This is plain to see in
the Black Power, Student Power,
and the Free Speech Movements.

Mr. Jackson emphasized the
fact that students today are not
willing to wait for action; in-
stead the student of today wants
action NOW. He achieves his mo-
tives through violence and march-
es and sit-ins. Students are more
interested in politics today. "Is
this interest any different from
the past?" asks Mr. Jackson. His
answer was yes. It is different
in the NOW aspect of our stu-
dent society.

As another factor involved in
student unrest, Mr. Jackson sug-
gested the pseudo-individualism
ideas. Drugs and drug addiction
are major factors in helping the
student achieve his "own thing."

Another factor discussed was
the growing prosperity among
students. Students are allowed to
go to school longer, thus they
become familiar with how our
society works. "Children actually
think," Mr. Jackson said, "that
Pet Milk comes from cans."

As a solution to some of the
Problems Mr. Jackson suggests
simply an understanding of what
a human being is. He also sug-
gested that the student read John
Locke's Spirit of the Law again.

NOW THIS IS WHAT THE S.G.A. HAD IN MIND . . . Sultan James Hayes is keeping cool as he
is fanned by harem girls Missie Edmondson and Sunny Saxon. The Slater-S.G.A. "Night of the
Sultan" held Monday in Bibb Graves was judged by those present as a rousing success.

'How To Get Involved" Is Topic
For March 30 Repub Conference

By Garry D. Mitchell

With today's student protests,
such as the ones now under way
at Howard University and Ala-
bama's own Tuskegee Institute,
there seems to be a great desire
to get involved. Well, here is
your opportunity to hear how to
get involved.

On Saturday, March 30, at Bir-
mingham-Southern College, a con-
ference program, sponsored by
the Republican National Commit-
tee, ..the Alabama Republican
State Executive Committee, and
the Young Republican Federation
in Alabama, will be presented to
give you, the student, informa-
tion on how you can get involved
in politics, communications, so-
cial works, and many other op-

portunities unlimited.

The keynote address at 10:45
a.m. will be given in Munger
Hall Auditorium by the Honorable
Sam Steiger, member of Con-
gress, Third District of Arizona.
Following his talk will be a dis-
cussion period with Mr. John
Grenier, the former chairman,
Republican Party of Alabama.

Other noted speakers will be
the Honorable Glenn Andrews of
Alabama, the Honorable George
V. Hansen, member of Congress,
Second District of Idaho, Mr.
Jesse Lewis, publisher, Birming-
ham Times, and many other in-
formative speakers.

The short drive to Birmingham
will be a rewarding one for each
student who really wants to get
involved.

Home Economics Convocation
Hears Extension Service Speaker

The fifth Home Economics con-
vocation was held March 19, in
Comer Auditorium. The principal
speaker, Mrs. Mary E. Coleman,
prominent member of the Co-
operative Extension Service staff
at Auburn, addressed Home Eco-
nomics majors on the topic "You
—the Genie with the Lamp."

The convocation is a semi-an-
nual event sponsored by the AC
Home Economics Department and
brings noted speakers from all
phases of Home Economics to AC.

A graduate of Auburn Univer-
sity with an M.A. degree from
Columbia University, Mrs. Cole-
man is at the present time the
assistant director of women's
work with the Extension Service.
Mrs. Coleman holds membership
in numerous professional, honor-
ary and service organizations and
is listed in "Who's Who of Amer-
ican Women" and the Library of
Alabama Lives. She is an hon-
orary life member of the Garden
Club of Alabama.

In her address to Home Eco-
nomics students, Mrs. Coleman
stressed the open doors in the

MARY E. COLEMAN

career areas of Home Economics
through the Extension Service.
Because of new urban develop-
ment, the Extension Service has
a new channel of work and a
greater challenge and role to ful-
fill in helping to promote better
family and community living.

The Student Religious Associa-
tion met Wednesday, March 19,
in the audio-visual room to for-
mulate plans for next year's ac-
tivities.

Eliminating Religious Empha-
sis Week was discussed, as at-
tendance at non-required meet-
ings has alwas been poor.

Instead it was decided to em-
phasize religion throughout the
year by having at least four
speakers of interest to students.

Suggested speakers were foot-
ball player Steve Sloan, folk
singer Eddie Killbourne, and
"Minister of Bourbon Street" Bob
Harrington.

Interest was expressed to have
someone in the field of science
talk about the relation of this
field to religion. "God and the
Modern Mind" was suggested as
a theme for the entire year.

With a limited budget— $400 of
the S.G.A. budget of $25,000— and
a lack of student interest, the
S.R.A. has taken a "back seat"
in the minds of A.C. students.

Perhaps you are one of the
many who do not know that S.
R.A. meetings are open to all
students interested in the relgious
activities on campus.

If you have suggestions for im-
provements in S.R.A., disagree
with changes being made, or if
you are just interested in help-
ing make S.R.A. an important,
updated campus organization,
please come to the next S.R.A.
meeting which will be announced
soon.

DR. KERMIT JOHNSON

New President
To Tell Plans;
Hear Questions

Are you interested in tomor-
row's Alabama College— the pro-
posed buildings, curricula, activi-
ties? If so, come to the Audio-
Visual Room at 7:30 p.m. April
16 and find the answer.

Alabama College's new presi-
dent, Dr. Kermit Johnson, will be
telling the Student N.E.A. and
and all students and faculty who
are interested, his plans and ideas
for his first college. He will be
able to answer a lot of your
questions concerning the campus
as well as revealing perhaps yet
unknown plans.

Following his talk Dr. Johnson
will open the floor for questions
and discussion. Perhaps he will
be able to clear up a few of your
own pet peeves or listen to a
constructive idea of your own.

S.N.E.A. invites all students
and faculty members to become
acquainted with Dr. Johnson and
his plans.

At this meeting, also, the new
officers of S.N.E.A. will be in-
stalled by Dr. Johnson.

THE ALABAMIAN, Alabama Colle

"Grass" Is "In"

Should Pot
Be Legalized?

by Gary D. Mitchell

"Marijuana— 'pot' or 'grass' or
'tea— is the thing with the 'in'
crowd today. This is the Marijua-
na Generation. Half the young
people in some communities re-
portedly are experimenting with
it, and a third of the students at
some of our largest colleges and
universities are said to have tried
it. Pot is in."

There is quite a campaign to-
day to lift all the bars and to
make marijuana as easy to get as
aspirin. I am sure many of the
students arrested at Jacksonville
State wish it had been. Many of
today's so-called experts on the
subject say that young people
shoul be allowed to smoke pot to
"get it out of their systems."

Proponents of the use of mari-
juana continually stress that there
is little lasting physiological harm
occurring in its use. Some of the
investigators claim they took the
drug without serious aftereffects,
but the chronic user does develop
a psychological dependencce
which causes him to lose control
and precipitate a pattern of com-
pulsive abuse.

"Marijuana is not an aphrodisi-
ac but it does influence sexual
response by releasing moral res-
traints. This makes marijuana at-
tractive to college students who
have developed promiscuous sex-
ual patterns."

There is a substance in mari-
juana known as THC that can
produce illusions, delusions and
hallucinations. One pot smoker
thought he stood outside himself
shrink, die, and be buried. THC
will produce psychotic reactions;
which means that fooling around
with marijuana can definitely af-
fect the mind. — Portions from an
article by- David Wilkinson, auth-
or of "The Cross and the Switch-
blade."

Letter To
The Editor

To the Editor:

I believe that the great ma-
jority of this campus was truly
shaken by the article written by
Mr. Mark Ford on the "shocking
profile of the ghetto Negro in
America." I am in total agree-
ment with - the author of this
article when he says that the Ne-
gro ghetto is a problem to the
people of the United States.

I would simply like to ask him
how, or from where, does fie
draw the conclusion that more
welfare is the answer to the
problem.

Most of the people on our cam-
pus are in sympathy with the
man who is simply unable to
provide for himself and his fam-
ily, whether he be black or
white. But when a person is un-
willing to try to provide for him-
self, then why should the work-
ing man be forced to support
himself, as well as the man who
seems to think that he is too
good to work.

It seems to me that it should
be an insult to the man who re-
ceives such welfare, and it is
definitely an injustice to the
man who has to give it.

More welfare is not the answer
to this problem — Our government
is already giving too much. It
is a far more complex answer
than just that. I believe that his-
tory teaches us that when gov-
ernment begins to take from the
pocket of one man to give to an-
other, that government's destruc-
tion is in the near future.

And by the way, some of the
finest cars around are driven
out of the Negro ghetto.

Sincerely,
Michael Thigpen

Glenn Hewett Reports

THE WAR IN VIETNAM

On reaching the coast of South Vietnam you can look down from
the comfort of a Pan Americans Air Lines Boeing 707 Jet Liner
and see the smoke rise from exploding artillery shells.

Then suddenly comes the Captain's voice over the plane's inter-
com radio announcing that we will arrive at Ton Son Nhut Air-
field on the outskirts of Saigon in approximately 15 minutes. It
seemed a little strange, in fact almost unbelievable that in some-
thing less than 35 hours, I had travelled from Nashville, Tennessee,
some 8500 miles to a land of war, in far off Asia. But with the help
of "Doc" Jackson, a civilian medical doctor from Richmond, Vir-
ginia, computing the distance, and a couple of stewardesses by the
name of Pam Borgfeldt and Jo Ann Gould figuring the time, I
learned that is about what it amounted to.

After stops in Honolulu and Guam the plane became filled with
military and civilian men and women heading for service in Viet-
name. Of course I spent most of the final 10 hours or so of the
flight chatting and getting to know a few of them.

Many were men returning to duty after brief visits to Hawaii
to meet wives and other loved ones. These periods of rest have come
to be a common experience for our .military forces fighting this
war. In keeping with military tradition, the problem has come to
be known popularly by a couple of letters, R and R, or rest and
rehabilitation.

Army Sergeant John Boone of Eunice, Louisiana, was one of
those aboard. He was returning to duty after a well deserved
weekend with his wife in Honolulu. John is an oil rigger in civilian
life. To help win the war here, he hauls the stuff.

Army Lt. Colonel Osborne was another Louisiana native on board.
He was returning to Vietnam for his second tour of duty. After
previously serving one mitch as a battalion commander. Colonel
Osborne is a professional soldier from Houma, Louisiana. He looks
like one. He talks like one. He is the kind of man others would
follow in a march straight into a living hell if need be, in the
course of battle. Thate sems to be a worthy description of some of
these battles taking place here in this war.

Then there was General Bradley. I first called him "Major". Then
quickly recognized the stars on the collar and corrected myself. It
was obvious that Generals don't like to be called Majors.

General Bradley has business in Vietnam. He didn't tell me much
about it either. But you can bet your last dollar it will be well
handled, whatever his mission happens to be.

Before you know it, you are off the plane and through Customs
at Tan Son Nhut Air Field, Saigon, South Vietnam, capital city of
the Republic of South Vietnam. It is mid-morning. Sunday, the
17th day of March. That makes little difference in this land at
present.

From the newspapers that I have read, the history books in-
cluded, as well as the radio and television broadcasts, they all told
me that wars are like that. So really I should have known.

Well, last night late we went over to Lib's, and they RAN OUT
of hamburger steaks just as we walked in. Well with something as
rare as that happening, I thought I might just write a serious ol'
col-yum this time.

But, I started writing and decided that the thing wasn't going
to be in too good a taste. (I won't say I can't say anything serious-
ly.) Anyway, what I meant to say that I mean seriously is this:

The bathrooms in Main are dirty. And they aren't, I dare say,
kept up adequately. People are actually getting sick. And that's a
fact. So, Health-Department-Whitecoats, you've got my invitation.

I understand that people went over to Tuscaloosa expecting to
barf on Bobby, and they came back ver-y impressed. Well, that, of
course, is the man's job. He can snow us, if he can become a New
York Senator.

I think that everybody will have to admit that letting McCarthy
feel it out and then jumping in was . . . simply dirty.

Five million dollars, I understand from the headline, is how
much this one of the Kennedys is going to spend on his nomination.

But, then, hadn't we all rather have a Kennedy than a . . .
Johnson?

No, Miss Weir, I'm told that we don't want any lights between
Bloch and the new Library. There is more than Light and Knowl-
edge, I suppose, and there is more for under those trees than the
reading of books.

All we need is a bit of nice old-fashioned depression brick side-
walk from King House to Carmichael — and no rocking concrete
blocks.

Lotch Contraband

By Keith Harrelson

I wrote about the Birmingham radio situation once before, and
I feel that I didn't hold its head under the water for a sufficient
length of time. Conditions have become progressively worse, and
the time has again come to "scrape the elbows of the Establishment."

It is indeed a pity that, after the hour of 10 p.m., there is not
one acceptable or decent radio wave in the air over Birmingham.
There used to be at least a last-ditch refuge in the form of WSGN,
but even that has now been erased with the advent of THE ED-
WARD DEAN SHOW. Far be it from me to pay him any undue
attention, (which is exactly what he wants) but, as inconspicuously
as possible, let me give you a little rendering of what I heard a few
nights ago —

"Good evening, Birmingham— you're listening to the man that
the whole city loves to hate! This is Edward Dean, and I haven't
got the slightest idea of what we're going to talk about tonight—
indeed, once we do get to talking about something, I still won't
have the slightest idea what we're talking about. But we'll sure sell
our sponsor's products, yes sir! Parents, put your kids to bed and
start dialing those phones!"

(Bbbb-Clunk-Click-Click! )

"Edward Dean . . ."

'Uh . .
"Yes?"
"Uh . . ."

Mister Dean?"

(Click-Bzzz-Clunk-Clunk!)

"Oooo! I hate teeny-boppers! Parents! Put your kids to bed! All
they're doing is calling up and wasting time! Please, they never have
anything to say, and they only lessen your chances to talk! I tell
you— put them to bed!!" (We can easily imagine mommies and
daddies, scurrying around, yanking their children away from tele-
vision sets— "Quick! Go to bed!" "Huh? WTiat? Whaddya hollerin'
about?" "QUick! Go to bed! Edward Dean says so!" Sure.)

Bzzz-Click-Clunk!)

"Edward Dean . . ."

"EdwardDeanwhydoyoualwayshanguponallusteenagerswhydon't
youstoponceinawhileandgiveusachancetosaysometh — "
(Click! Chunk! Buzz!)

"Agh! I HATE those teenyboppers! Listen— if you're not at least
20 years old, don't call! (Click! Bzzz!) "Edward Dean . . ."

"Mr. Dean, there's just a couple of questions I'd like to ask
you . . ."

"Go ahead, bud. Are you over 20?"

"Yes, I'm 172 years old, and I want to talk seriously with y<
about teenyboppers. You insist that you can't stand them, and that
this is an adult show, right?"

"That's what I always say . . ."

"Then why do you advertise things such as Aknemed and "Hot
Rods to Hell" at the drive-in and New Invisible Clearsil? And why
do you have a daytime top-40 show on which you yell and act nutty
and talk about the Monkees and say things like 'groovy' and 'outa-
site' and 'sock it to me'? I can't recall ever seeing anyone over 21
sitting at the drive-in, wolfing down pimple pills, listening to your
show, and talking about what a 'boss' flick it is that they're watch-
ing. Can you explain this?"

"Uh . . ." (Click! Bzzz! Clunk! Clunk!)

The Great Society

By Margo Stephenson

Just a few more days and A.C.'s campus will be truly deserted,
eople will be loaded up and ready to head for beaches, moun-
ns or, if they are really unlucky, for home. This year the holi-
ays have slipped up on us, what with all the campus activity.

The Platters concert was a great surprise to many, myself in-
uded. Their humor was marvelous and unusually clean; their
le was very smooth. I had only one complaint concerning the
whole thing— getting a ticket was like going to Russia without a
passport. To secure a ticket you not only had to present your I.D.,
but as one weary student told me, you had to present birth certifi-
cate, be finger-printed and have three references.

After going through all this, you arrived at the doors of Pal-
mer clutching all required papers, to find that they didn't look at
your I.D. but merely grabbed your ticket and herded you through.
I had expected armed guards to thoroughly check you out and re-
ject anyone not properly identified. After being admitted and find-
ing a seat, however, you felt you had really accomplished some-
thing and settled down to enjoy the show.

Of course Girls' Social Club rush has been going on too. This
semester a new group has sprung up. The new group — the JABOB's
should live up to the standards, and we are expecting great
things from them.

Have a Happy Holiday and make it back to A.C. in one piece.

Students Termed "Conservative";
Only Very Small Minority Protests

In spite of a reputation for
vigorous protest, toppling gov-
ernments, and confrontation poli-
tics, students are a very con-
servative group, DAEDALUS, the
Journal of the American Acad-
emy of Arts and Sciences, points
out in a special issue on "Stu-
dents and Politics."

Even in Latin America, activ-
ists "are in a minority, often
very small," Seymour Martin
Lipset, author and professor of
government at Harvard Univer-
sity, writes in an introductory
essay. "In most countries the
vast majority of students are
apolitical, and tend to endorse
the moderate or even the con-
servative parties."

Other observations in the jour-
nal contradict stereotyped ideas
about students.

—Though students may provoke
political action, they seldom bring
ft to fruition; the support of oth-
er groups is mandatory if any
real change is to take place.
Those political parties which do
not repudiate student efforts are
most liable to benefit from them;
many parties which once relied
heavily on student support, in-
cluding the British Labor Party
and official Communist parties,
now tend to ignore student views.

—Student activism varies sig-
nificantly according to discipline.
"Those disciplines that are
thought of as 'intellectual'— the
humanities and most of the so-
cial sciences — are most activist
and leftist than those that are
oriented toward the professional
or scientific world," Lipset
Writes. This relationship also va-
ries, however, from country to
country: "Medicine has a leftist
aura in various Latin countries in
the Americas and Europe, but is
traditionally quite conservative in
most northern Europe and the
Anglophonic world.

"Where economics is taught as
an extremely technical, mathe-
matically based subject, those
who concentrate in the field are
less radical than where it re-
mains concerned with qualitative
and historical institutional analy-
sis .. . In every discipline those
Who think of themselves as in-
tellectuals rather than profession-
als are more politically activist."

—University systems with de-
manding class and academic
schedules allow for less unrest
than those depending primarily
u Pon examinations. "The exami-
nation system ussed is a key
•actor," Lipset states. Ln the
United States, too much extra-
curricular activity often jeopard-
ies academic work; in Latin
America, where examinations
"are not so important or may be
Postponed," students are free for
Political action.

—Parents' political attitudes
show a "high correlation" with
toe politics of their children and
determining factor. Chil-

dren of poorer families tend to
be less active politically because
they are "strongly oriented to-
ward upword mobility . . . con-
centrated on careerist profession-
al objectives," and need to work
as well as study. "Social status
seems more important than eco-
nomic class background in af-
fecting propensity ffor action."

—Student unrest is greatest
when the society is changing rap-
idly or is felt to be "backwards."
The student feels alienated from
traditional values and finds ei-
ther that his education is not
relevant to the new situation or
that the society cannot offer him
a professional career when he is
graduated.

"Confrontation politics is char-
acteristic of politics in which stu-
dents, and other groups as well,
lack legitimate channels of com-
munication to authority."

—This factor can also affect
"rightist" behavior, as is evi-
denced by contemporary groups
in several countries and, most
dramatically, by German youth in
the thirties. "Rightist students
were nationalistic, anti-authority,
and concerned with the seeming
inferiority of their nation within
the world community."

In many countries, local uni-
versity issues — housing, tuition,
food— are the only ones which
can evoke mass protest. When
this sentiment can be linked—
often deliberately by student
leaders from major party groups
—with national issues, a vigorous
protest movement can result, only
to die when local demands are
met or disappear.

Conservative, preoccupied with
career and other immediate con-
cerns, most students are far
from being fiery radicals intent
on bettering the lot of mankind.

VISTA Program Seeks Action People
For far-Reaching Service Program

Have you had it with sitting
in classes learning things from
other people? Now you have the
opportunity to reverse your posi-
tion. Instead of sitting in class
staring out of windows, why not
put your mind to work as a
Vista volunteer. You'll still be in
a learning environment, but this
time you'll be doing the teach-
ing. You may be teaching In-
dians that doctors are sometimes
better than medicine men, or
Eskimos how to build better Ig-
loos, or slum tenants how to
keep rats out of their beds. You
may have just a dull, routine
day where everything goes wrong,
but in any case you'll be helping
others to help themselves.

If you'd rather not dirty your
alligator belt, or wrinkle your
McMullin, or if you're too so-
phisticated to get involved with
humanity then Vista is definitely
not for you. But if you think this
world could stand a few changes,
and you would like to try things
your way for a while . . .you'd
better investigate Vista.

If you still believe in old fash-

ioned things like democracy, and
equal opportunity, and Bilbo Bag-
gins, then Vista needs you (al-
though we can't send you to
middle earth). You have to be at
least 18, willing to give a year
of your life to something you
believe in, sincere enough to do
something instead of talking about
it in the dorm, dedicated enough
to live in the same environment
as the people you are helping,
tenacious .enough to try again
when you run into static.

There are no entrance require-
ments, and you don't have to
take any tests to join Vista. Your
traveling expenses are paid, as
well as housing, food, and cloth-
ing. You receive $75 a month
sepnding money, and $50 a month
is put in the bank for you, which
you receive in one lump sum
($675) at the end of the year.
(That'c ^ore than most people
can save in one year.)

To find out more about this
great opportunity for long hours
and frustrating work, stop by the
Vista information booth in the
Post Office. Vista representatives

will be there to talk with you
on April 22-24 from 9 a.m. till
5 p.m. You can also see the Vista
academy award-winning film, "A
Year Towards Tomorrow", nar-
rated by Paul Newman. It's about
college people who did something
with their lives. If you're not
sure what to do with yours, or
just might like a year to think
about it, let Vista supply you
with a year of thinking and do-
ing. Of course, if you'd rather
pick flowers . . .

Tennis Team Loses
In Last Match Of Day

By Bill Toms

The tennis team opened its first match with a 5-4 loss to Marion.
Led by Murry Tyson, Junior College All-American, Marion won the
decisive point on the day's last match.

Tyson defeated our new number one man, Robert Walters, 6-0,
6-1. Mike Lewanski won his match 6-2, 6-8, 6-4 after blowing a 6-2,
5-3 match point play. Bill Toms won at number three by a score
of 6A, 6-3. Mike Malone breezed to a 6-2, 6-3 victory. Sid McLaugh-
lin lost a tough one at number five, 64, 4-6, 6-4. Rick Dunn, the
economist, lost 6-4, 6-3.

At the number one doubles Walters and Toms lost to a strong
Marion team 6-2, 6-4 to tie the match up at four points each. Mc-
Laughlin and Wayne Faught then dropped the winning point in a
heartbreaking 3-6, 7-5, 6-2 loss at the three doubles slot.

The team's lack of experience was evident as all 4 points were
won by returning lettermen. The match was a non-conference and
the first time in five years Marion has defeated A.C. The team
looks forward to conference play, where it has compiled a 34-6
record after 4 years.

As spring holidays start tomorrow, the golf team stands at 1-3,
the baseball team 1-2, the tennis team 0-1.

Last Offering To Students

By Gladys Ann Smith
Women's Sports Editor

The latest offering of the Physical Education Department to
the students of A.C. is the Monday night recreation hour. Every
Monday night from 7:00 until 8:00 Myrick hall is open to anyone
who wishes to participate in a variety of team and individual sports.
Participation thus far has been high, with as many as 60 or more
people playing badminton, table tennis, basketball, and stunts and
tumbling.

The success or failure of this offering will depend upon you the
students of Alabama College— not your neighbor down the hall or
the boy or girl across campus but you! As in every case you have
the choice of choosing what you want to do — you can go or you can
stay — and you can complain about having nothing to do — but re-
member — it was your decision.

The date for tennis doubles has been set for April 8. The same
date has been set for softball intramurals. Remember, you can play
both of these if you wish since you schedule your tennis matches
at your convenience.

Golf intramurals will be held on Saturday, April 13. Archery in-
tramurals will be held on April 27. Remember, have fun!

IN THE SWIM— With the advent of warm weather Catalina Club, synchronized swimming club of
Alabama College, has gone into practice for its spring water show.

Speech Intramurals Announced

By Buddy Roseberry

The Alabama College Speech
Intramurals will be held by the
A.C. speech department on the
night of May 6 at 7 p.m.

All students of Alabama Col-
lege are eligible to participate
in this year's version of the an-
nual speech contest. As last year,
the contest will be two contests
in one, extemporaneous speaking
and oral interpretation of poetry.

The extemporaneous speaking
will be on current events. Topics
dealing with all today's and to-
morrow's news will obviously be

present in the contest. Although
no one can know for sure what
subjects will be chosen for the
extemp. speaking, it's almost a
certainty that topics on war,

You Don't Belong To This School -It Belongs To You!

By Ann Smith

Who would ever have believed
that the teenagers who were just
a few years ago echoing the
words of "Mother, please, I'd
rather do it myself" are today
sitting in the middle of a college
campus composed of over 2500
students complaining about hav-
ing nothing to do. How many
times in the past week have you
heard someone complain about
having nothing to do — or how
many times have you said it

yourself?

On a campus with a bowling al-
ley, pool hall, swimming pool,
tennis courts, lake, golf range
and golf course, music building,
experimental theature begging
for people, swimming clubs,
dance clubs, recreation hours, a
gym completely stocked with
equipment open on Saturdays (ex-
cuse me, that was closed because
there wasn't enough interested
students to keep it open), guest
speakers and the administration
only knows what all else, the so-

called intelligent, creative college
students can't find anything to do.

Remember when the excuse
used to be . . . "If the S.G.A.
would sponsor more dances on the
weekend more people would
stay." Now there is a dance al-
most every weekend, and the
bands are good ones too . . . but
how many people bother to stay?

What is the problem? What is
the solution? I'm not sure I have
the answer but I do think the
problem and solution lies not with
the school but with the student.

After all a school is only as good
as those who comprise it . . . this
school is not "dead", nor will it
ever be unless its students are
"dead." Any student old enough
and intelligent enough to be in
college and yet obviously not old
enough or intelligent enough to
keep himself (or herself) amused
or able to find something interes-
ted to do in their spare time has,
I would think, a definite problem.

Remember, YOU DON'T BE-
LONG TO THIS SCHOOL— IT BE-
LONGS TO YOU, it is exactly
what you make it . . . and it won't
die unless you kill it.

When it comes his time to speak,

New S. G. A. Officers Installed

Dr. Johnson
Is Speaker

In the first formal convoca-
tion of the semester Tuesday,
sudents found new president Dr.
Kermit Johnson an engaging per-
sonality and personable speaker.

Described as "an Alabama
boy" by Dean John B. Walters,
Dr. Johnson humorously express-
ed his gratification at the title.
"I was told," he said, "to refer
to you students as men and
women— not boys and girls— and
now I am called an Alabama
boy."

His remarks greeted by warm
applause, the new president com-
mented on the spirit he found
at Alabama College, saying that
quality rather than size charac-
terizes the institution. He also
expressed the wish to know as
many students as possible.

Officer Installation

Following his address, Dr. John-
son installed new S.G.A. and
class officers. President Mike
Hays and Vice-President Randy
McDonald took the oath of of-
fice along with new senators and
class officers.'

Other officers installed were
Chief Justice of the Honor Court,
Mike Malone, S.G.A. Social
Chairman, David Keller, Secre-
tary, Patricia Fochtmann, Com-
munications Committee Chairman,

April 26 Dance
To Feature
Mastersound

To end this year's social season
with a bang the S.G.A. has ar-
ranged for he Wesley Davis
Mastersound Revue to appear
April 26, Friday night, in Bibb
Graves. This will be both a con-
cert and dance featuring the big
horn sound of this eleven-piece
soul band.

The three singers which the
Mastersound host are Mr. Terrific
(James Brown the second), Char-
les Cooper doing his Temptations
Revue, and their female vocalist,
Miss Mary Ann Gresham.

This will certainly be a show
to see as David Keller has stat-
ed that the Mastersound are the
best band in the state and are
both great to dance to and ex-
citing to watch.

Girls, invite your hometown
guy down for this one to show
him what is really happening.
Don't forget the Wesley Davis
Mastersound revue Friday night,
April 26, in Bibb Graves Hall.

THE WAR IN VIETNAM

Before going into any area where major battles are taking place,
I expressed the hope on arriving to press officers, military authori-
ties, and anyone else who seemed to exercise any authority, that
I preferred to remain in the more secure areas for at least a few
days, or until I had time to get my feet on the ground. A new cor-
respondent quickly learns that such reasoning does not make much
sense in Vietnam. There are no secure areas in this country for
those fighting the dirtiest of all wars.

Perhaps some of the larger cities such as Saigon could be con-
sidered safer than other heavily populated military zones. But the
recent heavy fighting there, which resulted in total defeat for the
Wiet Cong, proved some of the additional hazards and difficulties
for our armed forces trying to wage this war on many fronts.

But you are not in the field with one of our military units long
before learning that you are subject to enemy attacks at any time,
around the clock. An awareness of that kind of situation is very
much in evideice here tonight at the Battalion Headquarters of
2id Battalion, 13th Marines, 1st Marine Division.

The battalion is under command of Lt. Colonel R. J. Phillips of
Pennsylvania. From a look around this camp in the daytime there
appears to be enough heavy artillery to destroy any size target,
from a small company of moving enemy troops, to a sizeable city.
But big guns like those found here are intended to spread their
deadly volleys of fire power over a wide range, and covering
great distances, sometimes as far out as 20 miles or more. At such
distances, misses are common. The objective of most of the heavy
shelling is to prevent the enemy from movement of troops and
equipment.

That's what our men are doing here tonight, as they do almost
every night; for the North Vietnamese Army and the Viet Cong
have too many times proven their effectiveness with rockets, pro-
vided they are given time to come within range of our forces. We
try to prevent that through a system involving patrols, constantly
on the move, by foot, seeking out concentrations of enemy troops.
Then they direct heavy artillery fire and air strikes in on the tar-
gets by radio.

I just came from the underground bunker, set up conveniently
alongside the command headquarters of Colonel Phillips. There
officers are busy directing the fire tonight of the big guns, by tele-
phone, to gun installations scattered over a several mile area.

The computer engineers and manufacturers of highly sensitive
electronic equipment have come to the aid of those fighting this
war. A couple of nights ago, Colonel Phillips gave me a brief run-
down on a newly arrived computer which he had advance training
for at Fort Sill, Oklahoma. It takes the place of five men, perform-
ing such valuable functions in fire control centers as the computing
of distances, elevations, and other firing data for the heavy ar-
tillery pieces in record time. One captain and his crew were ex-
cited tonight over confirmation of the destruction of an enemy
launch pad by use of the computer information fed to the big guns.

The Republic of Korea Forces are making their contribution in
this war. They have proven themselves time and again while fight-
ing here alongside our armed forces. Their Marine Combat troops
have won the respect and praise of most everyone here as fierce
fighters, sometimes more effective against the Viet Cong than our
own troops.

In spite of the constant search by ground patrols, both day
and night, plus aerial reconnaissance by helicopter crews and other
aircraft, they do get in close enough at times to launch deadly
rocket attacks, even on fairly secure installations such as the 2nd
Battalion. They were hit here one night recently by a light rocket
attack, only a few days after some of the men had arrived.

Such an early experience for new men can be a good thing in
some field commanders' opinions. They figure that nothing does a
better job of "breaking men in" than the experience of an attack
soon after hitting the war zone. And if they survive it with only a
few losses, the chances of heavier ones later on, due to inexperience
are much less. So it is understandable that an attack might be a
healthy tnhig at times, although no commander wants to lose the
life of even a single man.

After a busy day and night, then, in the early hours of the
morning, over in "Doc" Neidhart's Field Medical Clinic, and the
adjoining shack Navy corpsmen and I retired after several hours
of debate on how to win the war. Of course, we didn't reach any
firm conclusions. There was, however, a great free world statesman
once who said "with blood, sweat, and tears."

Senate Belongs To The Senate Joi

By Carol

Anyone who attended the installation of S.G.A.
officers Tuesday expecting a breath of fresh air
was disappointed. Perhaps as in any installation
all the old platitudes were hauled out and pussy-
footed around the old auditorium.

The S.G.A., the campus was exhorted, belongs
to YOU. Remember, your senators don't know
what YOU want^they're only students. They may
live in the same dormitories and even know
enough students to win an election, but they
don't really know what's going on. The obliga-
tions of office have removed these ordinarily
earth-bound individuals from the realm of their
fellow-students' interests. Besides, senators don't
initiate action; they squabble about it.

So spare them, students, a more momentous

Weir

occasion than this year's acquirement of a mas
cot. After a month's debate about how the hap
less bird was to be fed, possibilities of a large
project boggle the mind.

But this is unfair. Something new did emerge
in the convocation. Now that the S.G.A. rein
have changed hands, it was safe to remind
that on campuses across the nation, student gov
ernments have more important ways to spend
month than arguing about bird-feeding, uch mat
ters as student power were actually mentioned

That it was idle talk probably kept Palmer's
walls from crumbling. But let next year's serious
minded senate take that baby on; and may the
remember the daddy of it all.

It should be an interesting year.

Martin King:

Accidental

Prophet

Guest Editorial
By Bob Dinwiddie

Late in the afternoon on De-
cember 1, 1955, an elderly Negro
lady boarded a bus in Montgom-
ery. Her name was Rosa Parks.
She was tired from working all
day. Her feet hurt. The bus soon
was filled. Then the unbelievable
happened. The driver told Mrs.
Parks to stand in the rear of the
bus so a white man could have
her seat, and Mrs. Parks said
no. That simple answer led to
her arrest. Her arrest led to a
boycott of the Montgomery buses.
Martin Luther King was the
young minister drafted to guide
the Negro community in this
hour of need.

By the 21st day of December
1956, when the totally successful
boycott was ended, the name Mar.
tin Luther King was a household
word all over the world.

Martin King was a trinity:
Name, man Idea. The name is
today still a household word. The
man is dead, struck down by an
assassin's bullet. The Idea lives
on, burning bright in the hearts
of his disciples, black and white.
His idea was a simple one; it
was also a beautiful one. He put
it this way: "I dream that one
day my four children will no
longer be judged by the color of
their skin but by the content of
their character."

On December 1, 1955, Martin
King looked straight at the seg-
regated, inhuman society created
by southern "white power" and
pleaded with it "to let my peo-
ple go." With this plea— this de-
mand — he became the voice of
the blacks and the conscience of
the whites.

The cause was just. The lead-
ership was inspiring. The strug-
gles were legion. The victories
were sweet. The inspired leader
is gone now, but the cause is
still just and the struggles are
still legion. The future victories
will be sweet — but they will be
just. Everyone should welcome
them. When there is no longer a
need for a Martin King to serve
as a conscience for a whole so-
ciety, that day will be the only
fitting memorial to that part of
him that lies entombed in an
Atlanta cemetery.

Dr. Martin Luther King did
not live to see his dream ful-
filled. But like Latimer and Rid-
ley three centuries ago, he light-
ed a candle that "shall never
be put out."

Student Gov'ts
Passe? Maybe,
Says Wayne U.

(ACP) — Are student govern-
ments at universities around the
country failures as they are now
constituted? Are they due to be
radically changed— or even abol-
ished?

(Continued on Page 4)

Remember, the S.G.A. belongs to YOU. Any connection I have wh
its activities is purely coincidental.

Lotch Contraband

By Keith Harrelson

In the past few months, some carefully controlled experimen
have been carried out on the A.C. campus. Since the grass is green
now and everybody is happy, the results of some of these exp
ments can be revealed.

Experiment No. 1. The student body was notified Tuesday
in return for their simply remaining on campus for one week-<
the S.G.A. would sponsor a total of twelve free dances in the
hour period. Four of these dances would be booze orgies
liquor supplied. Also, as a bonus, each student who attended the
parties would receive a free trip to Hawaii, a brand new Bu
Riviera, and $10,000.

Results — The weekend exodus from campus was definitely sli
ened as a direct result of this. Only 94% of the normal number
home-goers were seen leaving that Friday.

Experiment No. 2. A veal cutlet from the cafeteria was tos
41 feet through the air to one of the campus dogs. A stop wa
was at the ready to time his eagerness in consuming it.

Results— Instead of eating it, he faithfully fetched and retur
it. He did not keep it in his mouth very long, though, because
had heard some rumors concerning saltpeter.

Experiment No. 3. At the first of the year, five truckloads
the soupiest mud that science can yet produce were dumped sti
tegically at the east end of Fuller Hall. This was done for the P u
pose of seeing who had enough common sense to learn to stay a«
from the area.

Result— Negotiations are under way to procure suitable he*
stone markers for the eighteen freshman girls and their dates
now lie silent somewhere beneath the surface.

Experiment No. 4. A professional bank robber was hired
come into the SUB Book Store and, at gunpoint, take ever
available. He did so, cleaning out the cash registers, change roll
and the March of Dimes collection box.

Results— Somehow, Mrs. Hood still made a substantial profit ° D
the transaction.

Experiment No. 5. Keith Harrelson was given his 15th chanc
to write a successful humorous article for The Alabamian.

Sesults — Can only be speculated. In all probability, thou
Keith Harrelson will not be given a 16th chance.

Falcons To Play
Home Game Friday

By Larry Mickwee

The Falcon baseball team has found the going rough in the
first few games of the new season.

St. Bernard handed the Falcons two defeats, one here at home
9-6 and one in Cullman 6-3. A bright spot, however, in the first
loss to St. Bernard was freshman pitcher Mike Hampton, who struck
out two men in the last inning, and after walking one, picked him
off first base to retire the side. In the Falcon half of the inning
Hampton singled.

Between the two losses to St. Bernard A.C. picked up its first
victory of the season by taking one of a pair at Troy. In the first
game the Red Wave defeated the Falcons by a score of 11-3 while
j we came back to take the finale 6-2.

Our next home game will be against Florence April 12, follow-
ed by a double-header at Livingston.

The Great Society

By Margo Stephenson

Well, everyone has returned from spring vacation and is back
in the old grind again. I believe the whole campus migrated to
Panama City for the week, for every face was a familiar one. In
fact A.C. students were as common a sight on the beaches as peri-
winkles and believe you me, we had the periwinkles. Between beach
parties, with their own private folk group, 3 o'clock visitors and the
sea, much went on to make everyone a little hesitant about return-
ing to Montevallo. But the week ended and back we came — proud
of peeling skin and all sorts of sea creatures captured after long
battles in the surf. There is something about the sea that transforms
and makes one a part of it, if only for a moment.

Back at school, all sorts of things were going on. Convocation
was announced earlier than usual by the flags in front of the S.U.B.,
and so off went the students (that is, those who knew they didn't
have another cut) to see what the hour would bring. Seems it was
time for the annual report by the S.G.A. committees.

It is most gratifying to know that the Senate has been working
so industriously all year pushing bills through that are so benefi-
cial to the students. I had been worried about Ace, but my fears
were quieted. Then we found that the Communications Committee
didn't have a way to communicate with us. One solution would be
for the Senate to appropriate funds for the purchase of a Lear jet
to be used by the committee to drop announcements over the cam-
pus.

Along with all the other new officers for next year, we have a
new social chairman. Students should take heed and support him
for he can and will get the best entertainment and make the cam-
pus rock out next year.

Girls' social clubs are welcoming spring by taking to the base-
ball diamonds. They're off to a good start even if Casey Stengel
might not sign many of them on. I watched a game Tuesday and
felt the urge to grab a bat and join in, for the spirit was high and
fun was in the air. I only noticed one strange thing— I never had
seen a bird playing short-stop, but there's a first time for every
woman.

Catalina Club To Perform

Cinema '68

By Ann Smith
Women's Sports Editor

After two months of dipping and diving, sculling, floating and
hours upon hours of practice sessions the 26 members of the Cata-
lina Club will present their synchronized swimming feats Thursday
and Friday, May 9th and 10th, at 8:15.

"Cinema '68" is the chosen theme this year. Using some of
more recent movie and show tunes the girls have choreographed
some excellent numbers. They will be swimming in McCall Pool
to such favorites as "Days of Wine and Roses", "Moon River",
"Hard Day's Night", "Goldfinger", "Seventh Dawn", "Exodus", "Pink
Panther", "Summer Place", "Sound of Music", "More", "Seventy-
six Trombones", and "Casino Royale".

THE ALABAMIAN, Alabama Collee

From Juniors To Seniors-
On Account Of A Crook

A.C. Hunts Crook

A few years ago at A.C. men-
tion of the "Crook Case" wouldn't
have been confused with the lat-
est episode of a TV thriller. In
fact the "Crook" was deemed
important enough to have a
have a whole day in the life of
the campus devoted to it.

Sound like the Honor Court
needed to crack down? No, really
the Crook in question was part of
a cherished tradition at Alabama
College, the Crook being a cherry
stick kept in a tall glass case
in the lobby of Tutwiler Hall.

An inscription on the Crook
Case explains: "In 1926 Miss
Hattie Lyman, president of the
senior class, conceived the idea
of hiding the Crook. This has
since become symbolic and tra-
ditional with the studens."

On Crook Day, held annually,
a "Most Honorable Senior"
took the Crook from its case
and hid it. Finding the stick
was the job for "lowly and un-
deserving juniors," who could
not be admitted to seniordom un-
til they retrieved the Crook.

The hunt lasted an entire day
with a break for a performance
by the juniors pleading clues to
the Crook's hiding place. When
they found the Crook, juniors
were almost ready to assume
the title of Seniors, bu one task
remained in the day's activities.

That evening saw a Crook
Court— what could be more ap-
propriate — where juniors were
tried and automatically convicted
of offenses against seniors. One
assumes the penalties were of,
the same general nature as those
levied against hapless Rat Court
victims.

The juniors who survived Crook
Court, however, were granted en-
trance into "Sacred Seniordom,"
and the new seniors celebrated
with a Crook Day March.
Revival?

This sounds like a tradition
that could be revived for a lot
of fun. As senior privileges are
nil now, with the exception of
examination exemptions, the class
would benefit by having its iden-
tity emphasized bu such a tra-
dition.

Student Gov'ts

(Continued from Page 2)

All evidence points to the affir-
mative, says the "South End" of
Wayne State University, Detroit.

A growing number of students
are expressing dissatisfaction with
their "representative" govern-
ments and their overall lack of
power. Many are disappointed
with their inability to effect
change in the areas of academic
reform and basic university re-
structuring.

At Wayne, frustration is becom-
ing increasingly evident. Two stu-
dent-Faculty Council (SF-C) mem-
bers have resigned from the Ex-
ecutive Board and others are
contemplating resigning. Many
others do not intend to run for
re-election.

SF-C Chairman Chuck Larson
shares the disenchantment. "Stu-
dent government can never be
relevant to students at Wayne as
long as they allow the adminis-
tration to develop the guidelines
for its operation," he said.

Larson added that he recom-
mends reorganizing the student
government "by giving students
the opportunity to decide what
mechanism they want to repre-
sent them. This mechanism would
be established and would not ne-
gotiate with the administration
for the right to exist.

"It destroys a student's self-
respect and is degrading," Larson
said, "to have to go to the ad-
ministration and ask them for the
right to have a voice. It is an
inalienable right of all people,
including students, to control
their own destinies."

Mark Shapiro, SF-C representa-
tive at the Convention of thq
Michigan Association of Student
Governments, said he found "that
the majority of student govern-
ments around the state were even
in a worse plight than we are.
It is apparent that student gov-
ernments are undemocratically
formed — not on the basis of one
man-one vote."

The University of Michigan's
Student Government Council, in
an attempt to gain control over
the activities it undertakes and
allow for greater financial free-
dom, is incorporating under uni-
versity regulations.

Its chairman, Bruce Kahn, ex-
pressed dissatisfaction with stu-
dent government in general, sug-
gesting student unions instead or
possibly no organization at all.

"Apathy is rooted into the na-
ture of education at American
universities," Kahn said. "There
will be no change in universities
until the American student be-
comes radicalized.

"Often student leaders them-
selves are at fault. Many are in-
terested in personal power rather
than student power."

A.C. Professors
Attend Academy

Alabama College was represent-
ed at the Forty-Fifth Annual
Meeting of the Alabama Academy
of Science held at Samford Uni-
versity April 5 and 6. In attend-
ance were members of the Bi-
ology Department, Dr. Henry F.
Turner, Dr. James F. Connell,
Richard Caldwell, and Richard
Brown.

R. D. Caldwell addressed the
conference on the topic, "The
Upper Tombigbee River: Its Bi-
ological Future as a Part of the
Tennessee Tombigbee Waterway."
Richard Brown gave a talk on
"Connective Tissue of the Head-
Foot Region of hymnaea paras-
tris." Brown's research was sup-
ported in part by a grant from
the President's Faculty Research
Fund.

The Faculty Research Fund was
established in the recognition
that, "active scholarship cannot
be divorced from inquiry, con-
stan study, and research." In
particular, the purpose of the
fund is to enable faculty mem-
bers to pursue research in their
own special fields of interest, and
for the concomitant purpose of
improving the person's mastery
of his professional area.

You know, you ought to go right now and see The Graduate-
you will enjoy it. Just get up a load of people and go, I guarante
that you'll like it. The Graduate is one of the best pictures I've
seen in a very long time. That is, I enjoyed it more than anything
I've seen in a long time and I think that is criterion enough.

Guess Who's Coming to Dinner is an O.K., all right movie. It'
just an entertaining pretty good movie. It's glossy and not real bu
it has stars and they present nice stagy performances. The show
gets downright too preachy about the black and white prob. Poitie
and young new Katherine Houghton are the perfect couple — they'i
solid-sugar-great and there are absolutely no other prob's excep
the race difference. But a good many of you'll blubber a few tear
Of course, the thing has a happy ending.

The Graduate has a happy end, too, but that movie is con
pletely fresh and individualized. Katharine Ross is the girl in
and I really liked her (didn't care for the sweet thing in Who'!
Coming . . .).

But The Graduate is still a comedy — for a movie that is reall
realistic, go see In Cold Blood. You'll wince several times. I gues
all of these movies that you ought-to-see, but I guess you'll all hav
to see In Cold Blood since we all know the story. You'll want
go and see what you think of it.

Personally, I didn't find the film the most arresting of th
bunch. Knowing the story made things a bit anti-climactic and th
movie gets to seem a little too dutifully documentary.

Enough for the flicks— let's get back to A.C. and say somethin
clanderous and controversial ....

* • *

Well, anyway, it's nice to turn past the green sign onto Hig
land and drive past the trees and all-American collegiate professor
houses. And it's nice to glide past the last intersection— the sto
sign's for the other traffic— glide in the ol' gate and then feel
good bumpy bricks. And you know that, curse it, it is actuall
good to get back and have your hair start turning back to ha
again, and have your face itch from the Montevallo limy dry-wate

And if you're like a lot of us, you realize — have it hit you
the face — that there are no more holidays to make you buffere
and secure from the old harsh realness of graduation.

And you remember the other year's when spring came at Ala
bama College and you feel a bit of a twinge of nice nostalgic sick
ness. And you carry everything in on hangers and put 'em in
closet. And you could not even, for anything, picture how you
closet looked last year or even last semester. And so you definite!;
will get used to it.

And when as short a time as it was from Christmas to now
has passed by again . . . it'll be all over and we won't see you any
more.

* * *

You know, the bathrooms in Main — ours anyway — were in nearlj

adequate shape Sunday. Why Ours actually had all of the graffiti

scrubbed off— not really, just the writing that was in pencil. And

of course the Main Hall elevator hasn't been touched. I think

will take it out and preserve it when the renovation is over.

* • *

Well, we'll see you in the paper. Go see The Graduate.

ilented A. C. Coed Stars
'Annie Get Your Gun

By Gary D. Mitchell
There are many things visitors
find attractive about Alabama
College, but no thing seems to
ittract them more than the peo-
ple who live here. One of these is
Miss Susan Patridge.

Alabama College has already
been introduced to Susan through
her performance in College Night.
Those who attended: knew they
Would be seeing more of her. And
they will soon have the opportuni-

Susan came to Alabama College
from Brent, Alabama. She is a
Music Education Major who plans
to teach in Birmingham. Right
now her total energy is dedicated
to pleasing Mr. Chichester in
'Annie Get Your Gun." With a
great desire and even greater ta-

lent, Miss Patridge will appear
in her true personality in the
show.

In Susan's words, "Acting is
the way you feel, and I feel like
Annie." Although she has never
appeared in a musical comedy
before, Annie or Susan has pro-
ven to one and all that she has
what it takes to be a star.

Another big event coming up
for Susan is marriage. On June
12, she will be married to Bill
McConnell, who is studying in
Birmingham. Susan has aspira-
tions of working with "Town and
Gown" after leaving Alabama
College. After seeing "Annie Get
Your Gun" on May 2, 3, and 4,
I'm sure everyone will agree that
Susan has a great future in show
business.

Student Influence
To Be Important
In '6^ Elections

By Gary D. Mitchell

Everywhere in America and all
over the world, the student popu-
lation is carrying a greater load
of the workings of the world they
will soon control. Evidence of
this power was shown by the dy-
namic campaign effort by college
students from all over the coun-
try in the campaign of Eugene
McCarthy.

Reaction to this student politi-
cal activism was widespread in
both pre and post-election analys-
is. Just prior to the New Hamp-
shire vote, Mary McGory wrote
in her nationally syndicated col-
umn that McCarthy's student sup-
port was "a river of free labor
that could change the face of
American politics."

In '64 it was Barry Goldwater
who hypnotically swayed campus
conservatives, and this year the
prophet's mantle rests on the
shoulders of Ronald Reagan. Any
sizeable student mobilization be-
hind Reagan will do the liberal
cause severe damage, and most
campus conservatives know it.

In Alabama and many other
states there seems to be a posi-
tive new attitude toward George
Wallace and his strict conserva-
tive stand.

On April 24, the students here
at Alabama College will be able to
help elect a candidate for the
Presidency of the United States.
How is this possible? The candi-
dates today are interested in the
student and his abilities. Each of
you will be able to show your de-
sire to work by voting in
CHOICE '68.

Alabama College is one of the
200 colleges and universities and
two million students participating.
The people in charge of the elec-
tions at AC are: Jim Dennis,
Chairman of the Campaigning
Committee, Fred Crawford and
Butch Hunt, Public Relations;
Denney Barrow, Polling Commit-
tee and members of the faculty
who will serve on the Election
Review Board.

Material from each of the can-
didates will be available from
April 19-23 on campus.

Glenn Hewett Reports

THE WAR IN VIETNAM

Get Involved, Be Interested

One of the first things you learn after arriving at any Viet-
nam military establishment that is subject to the deadly rocket
attacks of the enemy is that under the most favorable conditions,
troops may have up to 30 to 45 seconds to hit the bunkers or
trenches. Advance observers, located in the field, or the observa-
tion towers, will usually detect the launch from several miles out,
then sound on immediate radio alert, which results in setting off
the siren to alert all troops of the incoming rockets. That 30 sec-
onds may be plenty of time for those awake to enter bunkers. For
those who are sleeping, of course, it becomes a little more diffi-
cult. However that is about how word came to 2nd Battalion, 13th
Marine Regiment here, outside Danang last night, warning of in-
coming rockets.

If everyone had been as slow in responding to the surprise
attack as I, the enemy would have had plenty of time to destroy
the whole camp. However, trained, battle-ready Marines respond
much quicker, and our artillery batteries were pouring fire back
at the enemy within minutes. I was first awakened by the scream-
ing siren, and the sound of men running out of their shacks
heading for the nearest bunker or trench. It was not long past mid-
night, shortly after I had fallen asleep. On waking, I sat quietly
on my bunk listening, still half asleep. Then I began searching for
my fatigues and boots. Finding them, I looked to my right at the
bunk of Lt. Bill Holt, then quickly jumped up to check the bunks
of Lt. John Dwinell, and Chief Warrant Officer Robert Mocny.
They were all gone. By this time I was fully awake, although still
only half dressed; I dashed out the back door like a bolt of
lightning.

Just outside there was Lt. Ralph Meece. I asked him quickly
what was up. "Rockets," he said and hurried on. Somebody shouted,
"Cut those lights out" (but not exactly in those words), which
still burned in two or three buildings. I dashed back through our
shack to do just that; however, someone had beat me to it. So I
headed on out the front door, straight for the Battalion Head-
quarters and Fire Control Center, located underground 50 yards
or so away.

On entering the bunker I saw that Colonel R. J. Phillips, bat-
talion commander, was already personally in command of prepara-
tions to begin firing on the already located enemy position. At
this point I found my own note pad and began taking notes.

When Colonel Phillips found a minute, he walked over to ex-
plain what was underway. He said, "Since the rockets had missed
us in the first 45 seconds, we were fairly safe from a direct hit."
We later learned the rockets hit a point some distance from our
location. The pattern of the enemy rocket attacks usually means
the launching of their initial loads, dismantling, then scattering,
knowing full well our ability to locate their position and pour ar-
tillery fire in on them within minutes.

The colonel continued his briefing by leading me to the opera-
tions map, then showing me that Echo battery could reach the
enemy rocket site best. Then, from a young telephone operator
sitting at the rear of the room, came word that a forward ob-
served reported "rockets at 3500 mills." The colonel jumped back
to a phone, and that was the end of his time for briefing.

Shortly thereafter, Echo battery cranked off their 105 milli-
meter artillery guns with repeating volleys of fire that seemed
capable of destroying any size target.

I walked on through the bunker to the back room, and there
was "Doc" Neidhart and part of his crew of Medical Corpsmen.
The rest were scattered throughout the area with other troops.
"Doc" as he is known to most of the men, is Lt. James A. Neid-
hart, battalion surgeon, from Newton Falls, Ohio. He was one of
the first men I got to know shortly after arriving. He has a phi-
losophy about this war, survival, life and other important matters
— such as getting back home, "all in one piece," as he puts it. He
will tell you quite frankly he didn't come over here to see how
many medals he could win for bravery on the battlefield. Rather
he came to do his duty, then get back home as soon as possible
to his wife, Pat, their son Jimmie, age 2, and of course his medi-
cal career. However, you don't watch Doc Neidhart move around
among the troops at all hours of the day and night without be-
coming convinced that there goes the very man most likely to be-
come one of the first battlefield heroes.

Tuesday is Citizenship Day, and seniors sym-
bolically don full citizenship with their robes.
They will take another step in leaving the "ivied
walls" for the sometimes-harsh adult world. Then
abstractions found in years' worth of textbooks
will have to become concrete. The theories will
have to be put into practice; and one's bread-
and-butter, not just test grades, will be riding on
his ability to translate knowledge into practical
experience.

How will the fearless seniors and the students
coming up later weather the transition? We
have educators' assurances that education has
reached new heights. Since the beginning of the
space race, new appropriations and teaching
efficiency have prepared students to meet the
intellectual demands of a world where the body
of significant knowledge is doubling and trebling
in a matter of years.

But is this super-student peering from behind
thick spectacles better prepared for the privi-
leges and duties of citizenship in the total sense
of the word? Besides meeting the demands of
industry, business, and education, for technical
knowledge, the individual must be a "whole
man," interested in meeting community, state
and national needs.

Perhaps "interested" is the key word here,
for the ability to become a productive citizen is
certainly possessed by those hardy enough to
earn the sheepskin. Ability is not the problem;
involvement, borne of interest, is. Wherever one's
abilities lie, there is a place for him in com-
munity service — in politics, the arts, education,
or poverty programs. Only the limits of one's
willingness to become involved bound his op-

portunities to serve.

But this interest in being a good citizen di
not spring full-blown on Citizenship Day
Graduation Day or at any other climactic po:
The student, from his early days, undergoei
process of socialization which enables him
recognize problems, find solutions, to orga;
lead others, and get along with people at
same time; and he has to "crawl before he
walk".

Therefore somewhere in the educational
cess the student should begin to develop
social skills, according to his abilities.

In all fairness, this is not entirely up to
cators — it cannot be. Individual initiative, so
cessary to development of leadership must
a part. Assignments, which must be a part
any learning situation wherein the teacher kn
more than students, must be supplemented
individual effort.

On the college campus a natural area for
ercise of initiative — "for trying one's wings",
extracurricular activities. Here the classroom
ideas about human relations, politics, matters of'
efficiency — on and on — become concrete. They
too are learning experiences, and there is again
a place for everyone's abilities. One has only;
to become involved to find new areas of interest
through which he can enrich the campus com-
munity and his own ability to take an effectual
part in society.

Therefore, message (which doesn't deserve
neon lights for being new or original): students,
don't make the prospect of citizenship to be
extolled in Tuesday's convocation seem as cum-
bersome as those old black robes. Get involved
now; it's part of your education!

Newly Elected
Senate Starts
New Business

By John Amari

The campaigning is over, and
Alabama College's elected Senate
is prepared for a successful year
of legislation. The election was
held Friday, March 15, with in-
stallation taking place Tuesday,
AprU 19.

Randy McDonald, vice-presi-
dent of S.G.A., is the president
of the 68-69 Senate and has alrea-
dy shown his enthusiasm and
willingness to work by calling
two Senate meetings.

The first meeting was called to
elect the president pro-tempore
of the 68-69 Senate, who was to
represent AC at the S.U.S.G.A.
Convention, Southern Universities
Student Government Association,
in Hattiesburg, Miss. Mac Rudd,
past vice-president of the Senate,
was elected.

The second Senate meeting was
called to approve the appoint-
ments of S.G.A. president Mike
Hays. Those approved were Phil-
lip Oakes, Treasurer; Patsy
Fochtman, Secretary; Rod Pow-
ers, Communications; Mary Edna
Bough, Robert Attman, John
Schmidt, Doris Dunn, Martha
Owens, Peggy Lambert, Court
Justices; Rick Marshall, Jim
Hermecz, Court Solicitors and
Hal Mcintosh, Fire Marshall.

That just about sums up what's
been going on in your newly elec-
ted Senate so far.

ANNOUNCING:
The Third East Pop-Ins — The New Series

Shortly after 11:00 p.m. (The De-Witching Hour), you are
dially invited to stop by Main 370 for corn — popped and verb
for coke machine change, and for entertainment by rec-ord
Troup, the sometimes friendly weirdo, will entertain. The furnish-
ings of the premises have been recently comfortably rearranged-
there will be ample sitting room on the beds and dirty rug.

See! — the stars of Annie and other interesting people. There
are no longer any mice to coax and cuddle — but . . . you cai!
thrill (!) to the sound of plaster falling between the new and old
walls of Main Dormitory. Ours is a room with private bale
. . . (fast escape!).

Females, the invitation is also yours; so are appreciation, con-
sequences, and responsibility.

Well, we'll see you.

Listen! Let me tell you. Thursday a couple of weeks ag
got a pair of new back tires for my car. Drove the car
(This was during the great vacation.) The next day prepared f
a trip from home to the big city: B'ham. Well, got twenty-
miles and one of the new tires went flat on me — that tire
wanting to swerve around to the front, you know.

So, stopped at this filling station . . . and it was closed
cated. So, jacked up the old car and remembered that the old 1"
grips' were worn down. So were the nuts on the wheel. W
wedged in a handkerchief and got the tire changed.

Went back home. Got the tire fixed. The other day had
other flat — out at Davis Falls of course. Huh! Drove the d
thing right on in. Let the thing sit right in front of Hanson
days.

Well, Friday, after the exodus, I got on the oldies and went
work — after locating a decent new tire wrench. The car roll
backwards and the jack fell out from under the car . . .

Jacked the car back up . . . Finally got the spare on. It
flat. Well, took one of the tires to the Pure station. (Held it
the top of a VW with a half-dozen people in it.) Brought the
back up, mounted it and went to have the spare fixed.

Sure. When I put the spare back in the trunk I locked the
keys up with it. Took the back seat out of the . . . Ford. Yea

O. K. So the next day. (You wouldn't, by the way, believe
paranoidedly empty campus last weekend. Worst ever.) The I
day. Went up toward B'ham in somebody else's car. Right
Siluria stoplight . . . right in that long curve . . . locked up
oF gears — crunched 'em.

Fine. Got out, directed all the traffic around, you know,
looked under the hood. Yes, this was a Fairlane— you prop up
hood, for heaven's sake. Well, the corner of the hood slammed
right in the head. A right nice plug outa the noggin.

Well, we just forgot it and ate dinner at Mrs. Nancy's
Siluria Hotel. (O. K.— home-cooked meals for $1.35 each. B
pretty good. )

Got the vehicle fixed and then went to Baskin-Bobbins— 31
flavors of ice cream.

the

Found out there really is an Easter Bunny. Oh, yes.
You know — lots of chocolate bunnies — and bumps.

A. C. Annual Citizenship
Day Set For Next Tuesday

Alabama College's annual Citi-
zenship Day program is set for
Tuesday, April 23, and will fea-
ture one of the state's foremost
educators as special guest speak-
er.

Dr. Frank N. Philpot, Presi-
dent of Athens College and for-
mer faculty member at Monteval-
lo, will deliver the main presen-
tation in a 10 a.m. convocation in
Palmer Auditorium.

Dr. Philpot's address is enti-
tled, "The Crossroads Dreamer."

Citizenship Day is a high point
on the spring calender at AC,
when seniors formally except du-
ties and privileges of "full citi-
zenship."

The morning program will be-
gin with an academic procession
by students, faculty members and
administrative officials into Pal-
mer Hall. Opening events include
the pledge led by senior class
president Robert Rollins, Selma;
invocation by Mike Malone, chief
justice of the student honor court,
Birmingham; and introduction of
the principal speaker by AC pre-
sident Dr. Kermit A. Johnson.

Members of the class of '68
will be presented by class advisor
Miss Mary Martin, head of resi-
dence in Tutwiler Hall women's
dormitory. Dr. John B. Walters,
Dean of the College, will adminis-
ter the charge of citizenship to
class members.

Glenn Hewett Reports

(Continued from Page 2)

I looked toward the front entrance of the bunker, thinking of
going topside for a while. There stood Major Walt Dunn, bat-
talion executive officer, soaking wet with perspiration. I didn't
have to ask any questions, only to wait for a couple of minutes to
learn that he had been busy, rushing all over the command, mak-
ing certain that the men were in their battle positions prepared
for enemy troop assaults that sometimes follow the rocket attacks.
The order to man the front lines along a huge line of embanked
dirt, trenches, and sand bagged bunkers which circle the camp
came in the form of a different sound from another siren, follow-
ing the initial attack alert.

After grabbing a flack jacket, I decided to join Major Hamilton
for a quick walk to another battalion control point nearby. There,
other junior officers reported to him that all of their men were at
their battle positions.

In fifteen minutes or so, Colonel Phillips walked up to the
assembled group to receive their assurance that "all was quiet."
He then gave orders for a 100% minus 507c alert position for the
rest of the night which means all men remain in battle positions,
with 50% allowed to sleep while the other 50% remains awake
and alert.

Most of the men have learned that the colonel appreciates a
good joke, and Captain Mart Dinkins of Dallas, Texas, is the man
most often found pulling off a good one. With most of the tension
now passed, he began telling about the Vietnamese farmer who
came to a front line guard one day recently with a letter for the
colonel. In it he requested permission to come inside each day to
pick up the battalion's "rotten soup". Captain Dinkens wondered
how in the sam hill the farmer had learned that Mess Chief Sgt.
Robert Moore made "rotten soup" every day.

Someone spoke the time. It was now 4:30 a.m., exactly 3 hours
since the first alert. It seemed a good time for me to pay Sgt.
Moore a call up in his mess hall for a cup of coffee. He was on
the job, along with other helpers, preparing breakfast as usual for
the battalion troops. I got my cup of coffee, fresh from the pot,
then headed off out to one of our front line bunkers to chat for
a while with some of the boys there.

While I was on the way, Delta battery let go with five min-
utes or more of the most rapid fire of the night from their 105
millimeter artillery guns.

They tell me that Ernie Pyle, war correspondent throughout
most of World War II, used to write about men frequently using
the phrase, "if I get back." In this war, they are a little more
confident. They most often say: "when I get back."

Women's
Softball
Starts

By Marsha Pollitt

Monday marked - the beginning
of the Round Robin in women's
softball intramurals. With the
girls' social clubs participating
this year, the activity is great
and varied. Last week captains
were chosen by each team; the
following girls were chosen:
Freshmen, Susan Cook; Sopho-
mores, Gloria Birmingham; Jun-
iors, Sandra McMillan; Seniors,
Beverly Bell; Kappas, Apple Kri-
dakorn; Omegas, Pat Kinney;
Thetas, Nancy Hall.

In the Round Robin, more or
less a practice session, the class
teams will be playing against the
social clubs, though they will not
be playing each other in the final
competition.

Monday found all the teams out
on the fields and ready to play
ball. There were three games go-
ing at one time, so there was a
lot of action. Reportedly there
were quite a few collisions too!

The outcome on Monday was
Juniors 10-Omegas 9; Sophomores
17-Kappas 15; Thetas were de-
clared winners over the Seniors
because Seniors were forced to
forfeit for lack of players.

Monday only began the action,
which will go through the next
few weeks— a time of elimination
which will result in a winning
class team playing a winning so-
cial club team just for fun.

Falcon Tennis Team
Flies By Florence

By Bill Toms
Sports Editor

The Falcon net squad broke into the winning column last
day against Florence with a 6-3 victory.

At the No. 4 slot Robert Walters lost a close 7-5, 8-6 match
after leading in both. Mike Lewanski, off his winning form which
last year brought him a 12-2 record, dropped his second match in
a row by the scores of 3-6, 6-3, 6-4. Captain Bill Toms captured
his third straight win by the score of 6-2, 6-2. Mike Malone, also
undefeated, romped to a 6-4, 6-1 victory. Sid McLaughlin sneaked
by with a 13-11, 6-4 victory in a grueling match. Rick Dunn got
his first intercollegiate tennis win and helped break up a close
match when he scored a 7-5, 6-3 win.

Walters and Toms won the decisive point at the No. 1 doubles
when they took a 6-4, 6-3 win to give the team a commanding
5-3 lead. Lewanski and Malone dropped their first match at the
No. 2 spot when they lost 6-2, 6-4. McLaughlin and Wayne Faught
then closed out the match with a crushing 7-5, 6-1 win.

The team is beginning to jell and hopes to do well in the
conference. The record stands at 1-2 and 1-1 in the conference.

Falcons Overwhelm Florence, 9-0

Alabama College's baseball Fal-
cons used a barrage of hits last
Friday to overwhelm Florence
State by a score of 9 to 0. Every-
one on the starting nine got a
hit while triples by John Ed Lin-
am and Larry Patterson aided in
scoring the most runs yet scored
by the Falcons this season.

As the big bats sprayed hits
all over the field, excellent pitch-
ing by Mike Hayes and good
fielding held Florence scoreless.

In gaining their second victory

of the season the Falcons showe
the baseball prowess that could
enable them to offset six earlier
defeats in the balance of their
schedule, and could very well
make them a threat in the ACC
baseball tournament at Troy, May
10 and 11.

The Falcon nine, with 12 more
games remaining on the schedule,
play a double-header with Living-
ston April 17 and another witl
Athens April 20 before returning
home again on the 24th to
double-header with Troy.

This Saturday

Circle K Carnival Set

Fun and games will be the or-
der of the day Saturday, April
ft, when A.C.'s Circle K Club
stages its second annual Circle
Carnival.
More than a dozen student or-
ganizations, working in coopera-
tion with Circle K, will operate
fcme and display booths and con-
cession stands during the day-
lr >g event.

Directing planning operations
'°r this year's carnival are club
°[ficers Denney Barrow, second
P*e president, Birmingham, and
J'ck Marshall, first vice presi-
dent, Dothan.
Funds raised during the day
go to the Alabama College
Peech & Hearing Clinic, one of
e state's leading centers for
atment of speech and hearing
sorders.

In addition to the regular fund-
ising activities, a highlighting

event will be a softball game at
1 p.m. between members of the
sponsoring organization and a
team of A.C. faculty members.

Club president Fred Crawford,
fourth-year business administra-
tion major from Birmingham,
commended participating groups
for their "quick and enthusiastic
response to our call for assist-
ance in this project."

He noted that, although parti-
cipating clubs and fraternities are
competing to produce the carni-
val's top attraction, "we are uni-
fied in our effort to provide both
financial and moral aid to the
Speech & Hearing Clinic here."

Other Circle K projects at Mon-
tevallo include sponsorship of the
annual blood drive and ushering
service at events in Palmer Audi-
torium. Circle K Clubs are the
college auxiliary of Kiwanis In-
ternational.

Record Vote

A. C. Chooses
Nixon First,
Then Wallace

Top vote-getter at A.C. in yes-
terday's "Choice '68" presiden-
tial election was Richard Nixon
with 520 of the 1109 total ballots
cast. His closest contender in the
first-choice slot was George Wal-
lace, polling 254 votes. Ronald
Reagan trailed with 126.

Reagan, however, was the sec-
ond choice of the greatest num-
ber of students, taking 355 votes.
Nixon was the second choice of
239.

Students identified themselves
along party lines as 214 Demo-
crats and 421 Republicans. Four
hundred and sixty voted as in-
dependents.

Thus far, results at A.C. are
similar to those at other Ala-
bama schools already polled.
First choice at Auburn Univer-
sity was Richard Nixon, while
Jacksonville State named George
Wallace its top vote getter.

Results of the nationwide poll
involving over 200 campuses, will
be analyzed statistically, and are
expected to have some influence
on November's presidential elec-
tion.

Sponsor of the poll at A.C. was
Circle K. President of the organi-
zation, Jim Dennis, was pleased
with participation, calling it "a
record vote for Alabama Col-
lege."

Coordinator Danny Cooper add-
ed that the tremendous response
was due largely to better-than-
usual polling arrangements, hand-
led by polls chairman Denny Bar-
row. Two polls, open all day in
the cafeteria and the Student
Union Building, enabled a larger
portion of the student body to
vote. This included a record num-
ber of commuters.

Dennis also named publicity di-
rector Butch Hunt, the Circle K
and Mrs. Mary Hood as instru-
mental in success of the poll.

"Annie Get Your Gun," the
Broadway smash hit that gave
birth to song favorites such as
"Doin' What Comes Natur'lly,"
"There's No Business Like Show
Business" and "They Say It's
Wonderful," will go before the
lights of Alabama College's Pal-
mer Auditorium for three nights
on May 2-3-4.

Directing the A.C. production
is W. T. Chichester, associate
professor of speech who also
staged successful presentations of
"Oklahoma" and "South Pacific"
at Montevallo.

"Annie Get Your Gun" pre-
miered on Broadway in 1946, pro-
duced by Rodgers and Hammer-
stein and featuring Irving Ber-
lin compositions which have re-
mained as "standards" on the
pop music list.

Ethel Merman starred in the
original production as "Little An-
nie Oakley," a sharp-shooting
backwoods girl of the 1880's who
first challenges and outshoots the
champion marksman of Buffalo
Bill's Wild West Show.

She then falls in love with him,
and her riotous efforts to make
him return her love produce such
songs as "You Can't Get a Man
With a Gun," "The Girl That I

Marry," "Anything You Can Do,
I Can Do Better," and others.

The A.C. presentations are be-
ing staged in honor of Irving
Berlin's 80th birthday on May II,
according to Chichester. Berlin
has received a personal invita-
tion from Chichester to attend
the Montevallo production.

The show director noted that
the musical comedy is a "cam-
puswide effort, involving resourc-
es of A.C.'s music department,
the speech department's theatre
division and the dance section of
the health, physical education and
recreation department."

Susan Patridge, an effervescent
blonde coed from Brent, is cast
in the female lead of Annie. Chi-
chester praised the sophomore
music major's performances in
rehearsal— "She IS Annie," he de-
clared.

Sharing the lead spotlight with
Miss Patridge is Zack Godwin,
Birmingham, as marksman Frank
Butler. Godwin is also a second-
year music major at A.C.

Appearing in other major roles
are: Richard LaBorde, Paula
Owens, Joe Taylor, Birmingham;
Bob Bearden, Montevallo; and
Fred Holbein, Mobile.
(Continued on Page 4, Column 1)

PRACTICING FOR "ANNIE'' to open next Thursday in Palmer are
Zack Godwin and Susan Patridge in their roles as Frank Butler
and Annie Oakley. Don't forget to get tickets NOW for this great
show.

S.G.A. Leaders Tell Year's Plans;
Communications At Top Of List

By J. C. Rush

The Class of '68 is almost gone.
In their four years at A.C. (some
have been around longer), they
have seen many changes in this
campus. The Class of '69 will see
many more changes.

Each year our S.GA. progress-
es, and the coming year looks as
promising as any. The three
branches of the Student Govern-
ment Association all promise im-
provements . in campus govern-
ment and campus life.

Mike Hays, representing the
executive branch, plans to concen-
trate on improving campus com-
munications. Hays intends to work
through the Communications Com-
mittee to obtain lighted bulletin
boards to attract the students'
attention and a public address
system for the cafeteria.

Another concern of the execu-
tive branch is the lack of interest
in the college lake. The remodel-

ing of the camphouse should re-
new student interest in the lake
area.

Hays expressed the concern of
the S.GA. and the faculty over
the non-concern of the students
in reference to campus affairs.
"If the students don't show any
concern, why should the faculty?"

Randy McDonald of the Legisla-
tive branch is also interested in
campus communications. As pres-
ident of the senate, he plans to
have every senate meeting cov-
ered in The Alabamian. McDon-
ald also promises to publish a
monthly newsletter describing
senate activities.

To generate student interest in
senate affairs, McDonald has
posted the senate committee ap-
pointments and senate attendance
record in the S.G.A. bulletin board
at the S.U.B. He also intends to
place white flags in front of the
S.U.B. before each senate meet-

Lotch Contraband

By Keith Harrelson

The catchy little rhymes that small kids go around bleating
are examples of the most timeless poetry in the world. When you
were about six or seven, you knew every one of them as well as
you knew your daddy's office phone number. But you have since
forgotten them, I'm sure, and maybe a short review would be in
order.

One of the simplest was:

"It's Howdy Doody time, it isn't worth a dime,
So turn to Channel Nine, and watch Frankenstein."
It was really pretty senseless, but you could learn it by the time
you were three, and it led to more advanced verse, such as:
"I made you look, you dirty crook,
You stole your mother's pocketbook.
You turned it in, you turned it out,
You turned it into sauerkraut."
Still didn't make any sense, but it was a bit more complicated
and showed a definite improvement. By then you were probably
capable of remembering most of the "Fatty, Fatty, Two by Four"
rhymes that abounded, and you most likely began to compose
your own, the large majority of which were highly unsuccessful.
One of the greatest of all senseless rhymes was:

"Oooey Gooey was a worm, a mighty worm was he;
He sat upon the railroad tracks, the train he did not see.
Oooey Gooey!"

Obviously, it's a big bunch of nothing, but when I was seven, I
knew a kid whose father made sweet wine in the basement. Nat-
urally, after spending a little time over at his house, shouting
that stupid thing at the top of our lungs, it got to be pretty funny.
Do you remember:

"There's a place in France, where they do a funny dance,

Wearing red stripes and blue stripes,

I see your underpants!"
That one's not put together too well, but such bawdy, risque por-
nography isn't always of the highest caliber. Incidentally, that one
is still real big and quite in vogue among the four- to six-year-
old circles.

There used to be a nice little song called "Barnacle Bill the
Sailor" that was all right until some older guys got hold of it
and changed the words around (college boys, I think). I learned
it from one of them who lived down the street, and although I
didn't know what a single word of it meant, I was pretty proud
of myself to have memorized it all. Happily I ran home to say it
to my Mother. She listened wide-eyed to the first two verses,
then whipped me with brambles dipped in vinegar and shut me
in a dark closet for eight weeks. It's a shame, but that's the last
kid's rhyme I ever took the time to learn.

ing to encourage attendance by
both senators and students.

McDonald hopes to quicken the
legislative process by acting as
swiftly as possible on proposed
legislation. He is also considering
plans to improve the S.G.A. elec-
tion process.

Mike Malone, head of the judi-
cial branch of the S.G.A., has
proposed a three part plan for the
improvement of the honor system.

Malone commented, "I can as-
sure you we are going to have a
better Handbook orientation. Stu-
dents need to know that theirs is
a unique system respected around
the South."

The second part of Malone's
plan is to give the incoming
freshmen a test on the Handbook
that they must pass.

Third, Malone would like to see
some of our disciplanary regula-
tions updated. "I'd like to see
some of our archaic rules, espe-
cially on the part of the woman,
if not revised, then dropped."

"Brain Drain"
Problem For
Negro Schools

Ann Arbor, Mich. (LP.) — "Ra-
cial integration of the tradition-
ally white schools may eventu-
ally threaten the Negro college
with intellectual segregation,"
warns University of Michigan
Professor Rudolf B. Schmerl.

An English instructor in the
University's College of Engin-
eering, Schmerl spent the 1966-
67 school year teaching at pre-
dominately Negro Tuskegee Ins-
titute as a part of the Tuske-
gee-Michigan exchange pro-
gram.

A growing social awareness
among the predominately white
universities had led them to act-
ive recruiting of top Negro stu-
dents and staff members. Such
efforts are commendable,
Schmerl says. But they threaten
the Negro colleges, which can-
not hope to compete in scholar-
ships, salaries and resources
with the wealthier schools.

This is one of the forces add-
ing to what Schmerl calls "the
double life of the Negro institu-
tion."

Many government education
programs, although helpful, also
add to this duality because they
do not consider the special cir-
cumstances of the Negro col-
lege, he notes.

For example, he contends that
matching funds requirements
which may be appropriate for
institutions assured of local sup-
port or of their alumni's ability
to make major contributions, of-
ten preclude the Negro college's
eligibility.

Schmerl says these forces
sharpen the schizophrenia in
Negro institutions which stems
from the generations-old con-
flict between:

An urgent need for provid-
ing the type of educational
environment in which Negro
students can reach their
real potential.

An equally great need to be
a "college among colleges,"
a need for professional self-
awareness, a need to show
that "excellence has no
color."

The Negro college has no dis-
tinct ideology, no separate pro-
fessional function, no centuries-
old tradition from which to
draw inspiration, and no clear
future toward which to aim,"
he adds.

Schmerl notes that more than
half of the nation's Negro stu-
dents are attending 120 predomi-
nately Negro institutions which
will probably continue to gradu-
ate the largest share of Negro
college students in the next few
years.

Group, we have a GREAT show for you tonight Too bad it had
to be on a weekend . . .

Glenn Hewett Reports

THE WAR IN VIETNAM

On a gently rolling red clay hillside outside Danang, Republic
of South Vietnam, a Memorial Service was held today— a last and
final tribute to an American soldier who gave his life here in this
land a few days ago.

He was Lance Corporal William Charles Vance, a United
States Marine, killed on a routine convoy as so many lose their
lives everyday here in this war. The guns were silent for a while,
and the sun was shining brightly, as fellow Marines, some of then
buddies, and superior officers stood in quiet dignity to hear the
words of Chaplain Don B. Reese. "We have gathered here today
to conduct a memorial service for a departed brother. This is
Catholic memorial service, conducted as a last and final tribute
to Corporal William Charles Vance, who was a Catholic."

"When a man dies, we are a little sad. No matter how often
we see death, we always find it hard. Hard to understand. Hard
to live with. Hard to talk about. That's partly because you and
are not always at home in expressing our 'faith' at a time of
death. We believe in Jesus Christ. We believe in our dead friends
'rising' with Christ as he promised. We 'believe' in a life after
death. But somehow we just can't talk about it as easily and surely
as we would like.

In keeping with the Catholic Order of Worship, Chapla
Reese spoke some beautiful, eloquent, and meaningful lines fron
the scriptures throughout the service. "The just man shall live
forever," he said as he went on to a brief prayer, in which the
opening words were, "In humility and with a contrite heart, may
we be acceptable to you, oh Lord."

And for those who might believe otherwise, there was his re-
mark calling attention to the fact that some of the greatest saint
in the church have been military men.

In time came the closing lines. "May Almighty God bless you,
and keep you, in the name of the Father, and the Son, and the
Holy Spirit. May you go in peace."

And as the final words were spoken and the men walked
lently away from the sand bagged bunker protecting them and
containing one of our artillery's biggest guns, and the temporar
altar made of ammunition was torn away, I gave some thought
to the young man who just received his last tribute from those
with whom he had spent most of his final days. Only the afternoon
before, I had lunched with his battery commander, Captain Con-
rad L. Kinsey, from Ypsilanti, Michigan.

Captain Kinsey had told me that Corporal Vance came from
Allen Park, Michigan, that "he was a good Marine who did his
job well— quietly and efficiently, without complaining, whatever
his duty." And as those words were spoken, I thought again today*
just as the afternoon before: that perhaps the Corporal Vances
are the real heroes of this war and every war — the common soldier,
who serves in his country's armed forces, wherever it is felt he
is needed. And if there is war, he meets the test of battle as bes
he can. Thinking, hoping, praying, that he will be spared, and that
someday, he can go home to America, the land that he loves.
And the future he only dreams of.

Corporal Vance was not spared. He will make a final voyage
home. And if Chaplain Reese is right, there awaits him and a"
the faithful "an eternal resting place in Heaven." For that is the
only fitting memorial for a Soldier of God.

"SMITTY"

rSmitty" Enjoys Young People

Have you ever dipped your for-
bidden glass into the ice bin over
Anna Irvin and then turned to
see a formidable figure in white
uniform behind you? "The Dining
Hall Gestapo," you think wildly?

Well, don't fear. If that figure
was a spry white-haired lady
known as "Smitty" or "Aunt Hat-
tie," sometimes even Mrs. Smith,
you're safe.

Smitty, accustomed to the ways
of students, says, "They're going
to do things like that 'til the end
of time! I could fuss, I guess,
mt they wouldn't pay any more
ittention than the man in the
moon— besause they know I don't
mean it."
And she should know about stu-
ients, having observed them for
six years under five different
managers.

Negotiating with them every
Jay about picnics, tea, and other
headaches euphemistically called
^special events" in the back of-
ice, Smitty has her own philoso-
phy about how to "keep her
cool."

'With me," she reflects, "the
students come first— if it weren't
the students, we, in the cafe-
! «!a, wouldn't be here. I try to
remember that."

In the food service business,
Where there's so much bustling

activity, Smitty will be the first
to tell you that catastrophes cal-
for presence of mind do occur.
She recalls that the first day a
new manager was in the hall,
everyone was nervous and trying
to do their best. Suddenly she
dropped a whole cart full of just
clean dishes before his eyes. The
moment of tension passed, how-
ever, when the manager leaned
down and started helping her
pick them up.

Another time just as the guests
began filling into Old Main dining
hall for a! banquet, a student em-
ployee spilled a glass of tomato
juice on the banquet cloth. All
the dishes and silver were re-
moved, while the guests awaited
a fresh cloth and their dinner.

With such events the rule rather
than the exception it helps that
Smitty loves her work and enjoys
young people. Student workers in
the dining hall can testify that
Smitty has a sense of humor that
shows itself when less capable
supervisors would despair.

They say she's "no-nonsense,"
though, about getting the job
done. Smitty herself is proud of
the fact that she's never been
sick a day in her six years with
the cafeteria.

Those who know her hopes she
will be there another six and
mbre!

Dr. Philpof

Addresses

Convocation

Dr. Frank Philpot, Athens Col-
lege president, told A.C. seniors
Tuesday that their job after
graduation was "to try to change
the world gradually, one clod at
a time."

Speaking at the Citizenship
Day Convocation, Dr. Philpot re-
minded his audience they would
have to solve the problems of
race relations, urban government,
and foreign affairs.

"You," he said, "must be the
ones to insist on social justice.
Each generation gets younger and
younger, takes over power at an
earlier age. Power is in the young
people."

Dr. Philpot is a graduate of
Athens College, where he receiv-
ed the A.B. He holds the M.A.
degree from the University of
Alabama and Ph.D. from Colum-
bia University.

He has served as professor of
education at Alabama College, as
head of the education and psy-
chology departments at the Uni-
versity of Illinois and as a sup-
erintendent with the Department
of Education.

Seniors Presented

Following the keynote address,
the senior class was presented to
Dean John B. Walters by Dr. B.
E. Fancher, who noted that Citi-
zenship Day is a tradition at A.C.
begun in 1944 by Dr. Hallie Far-
mer.

Dr. Walters delivered the charge
of citizenship to the class of 1968.

The Great Society

By Margo Stephenson

First and foremost I have a plug-The Canterbury Trio has
turned pro on us. Not that their talent hasn't always been tops
but now they have entered the field full force. They are presently
appearing at the Lowenbrau on weekends and if you haven't been
up to hear them, then go. The show, as usual, is great and the
refreshments, as usual, are ' just fine. So if you're looking for
something a little different from everyday A.C. activity, head to
Birmingham. If you need directions on how to get there (perish
the thought) just ask most anyone.

Spring has really hit the campus ,so it seems. I was walking
to the SUB to check my mail after supper the other night and be-
fore I knew it, I had been swept with the tide of young lovers
smack up the middle of President's Lane. This I wouldn't have
minded so much if I had had an escort at the time. Anyway I
battled the stream back down and by the time I made it Comer
it was dark. There I was amazed to find that Comer was no longer
just a parking lot but had turned into the General Headquarters
of the National Wrestling Association. After marveling at this sight
a brief moment I drifted back to my dorm, passing up the mail I
knew wouldn't be there anyway, and thought about how marvelous
this time of year is. Yes, spring does wonderful things, and if you
ask me, they're all T. Terrific.

I do have a word of advice for all the young, innocent girls
around. With the coming of spring, the boys will tend to seek out
more secluded spots around Shelby County. Should your date
prove to be a little forward, there are two words you can use that
will knock him dead (he may be laughing). Just say, "Let's not"
This has proven to work wonders, but only with a certain seg-
ment of males, so when using it, remember this— "Theta Sigma
Chi, do or die."

Since I'm writing this on Tuesday, I can't mention much about
the Senior march on New Men's (Fuller for the younger set) I
do have one question, though. Do you wonder if Inter-Frat Chat
goes anything like it did Wednesday night?

During that week Thetas also
sponsored their annual Easter
Egg Hunt for the children of
the Speech and Hearing Clinic.
The egg hunt provided an excel-
lent opportunity for the new
pledge class to take an active
part in the club activities. As in
the past, the hunt was loads of
fun for the children and the
members.

A hayride was the bright spot
on the Theta calender last
weekend. The activities and
pledges piled in to trucks filled
with hay and enjoyed roasting
hot dogs at Carlton Hill. After
the hayride the Thetas had a
spend-the-night party.

During the week days, the
active member and the pledges
have been practicing and play-
ing softball with the other girls'
social clubs and girls majoring
in physical education. The The-
tas are planning to participate

in the Circle K Carnival on Sat-
urday. The pledges are also
having an "Iron-In" this week.

The active members and the
pledges are looking forward to
the annual banquet in May. The
Thetas and their dates will en-

Mike Hinton, graduate of the

into Alpha Kappa Psi, national
professional business fraternity,
on April 17.

He is at present a captain in
the Army Medical Corps, and has
served in Viet Nam. Mike was
one of the charter members of
Eta Upsilon, but graduated and
entered the service before
could be initiated.

Anyway, I was meaning to barf on the Citizenship Day Con-

shaky limb, but you know, we "didn't hear anything we hadn't
ever heard before. I suppose that run-of-the-mill speech making
has gotten as stale as our cap-and-gown march-into-Palmer tradi-
tion.

Nobody seemed to be all keyed up by the formality; and there
was certainly no style. Why not stride in there with some real the-

Women's Intramurals Continue

By Marsha Pollitt

Women's intramurals, headed
by Mary Morris, are still going
strong as the Round Robin comes
to an end. Every afternoon for
the past two weeks, approximate-
ly 100 girls have been meeting
and playing some action-packed
games of softball.

Each team has progressed du-
ring these weeks of Round Robin
and has shown improvement in
working as a team.

Results of games last week left
wide open the choice of a win-
ning team. The social clubs, in
playing class teams, are holding
their own position well.

Kappas seem to be heading the
action for the social clubs. They
have had some close games with
the class teams and defeated the
Thetas last Wednesday. The
Omegas appear to be having a
streak of hard luck as can be
noted by the score of 35-0, re-
corded at their game last Thurs-
day against the Juniors. But the
Omegas really have the spirit.
The games should be close in
final competition between these
clubs.

The class teams also have some
close competition facing them.
The Sophomores have shown
themselves to be a tough team

in winning games against the
Kappas and the Freshmen, al-
though they lost to the Juniors.

Things are really looking good
for the Juniors, since they have
thus far won all their games.
The Freshmen have put on a
good show too. Each team seems
to be ready for the next two
weeks when a winning team will
be declared.

The games for Monday were
rained out, but weather permit-
ting, games for Tuesday and
Wednesday will be played as
scheduled to close the Round
Robin; then the real competition
will begin next week.

3-1 In Conference

Falcons Even Record;
Take Athens And Bernard

By Bill Toms
Sports Editor

The Falcon tennis squad evened its record at 3-3 after losing
to Birmingham Southern 8-1, then taking two in a row against
Athens 5-4 and St. Bernard 6-3.

The lone win against Southern came when Bill Toms won 6-4,
6-3 at the No. 3 slot.

At Athens the match went down to the wire as Robert Walters
and Rick Dunn won the No. 3 doubles by the scores of 10-8, 1-6,
64 to give the team its second victory of the season. In singles
Mike Lewanski, our new No. 1 man, won 4-6, 6-4, 6-2. Robert Wal-
ters captured his first win in singles by a decisive 6-1, 6-3 victory.
Toms grabbed the only other singles win by a 6-2, 6-2 margin.
Sid McLaughlin and Toms then teamed up at the No. 2 doubles
to take a 4-6, 6-1 win.

St. Bernard, led by Robert Lenord, Bernard's answer to our
former great Donnie Andrews who ran up a 64-3 record over four
years, could not meet our Falcons' depth as we took a 6-3 win.
Lenord defeated Lewanski 6-1, 6-0. Walters won 6-1, 6-4. Toms re-
mained undefeated in 6 matches by taking a 6-1, 6-0 win. Mike
Malone dropped his match 6-4, 6-3. Sid McLaughlin snaked by
another opponent in a two and a half hour match, winning 5-7, 6-1,
10-8. Rick Dunn played his bast match to date with a 6-0, 6-2 win.

In doubles Lewanski and Malone last at the No. 1 spot 6-4, 6-3.
Walters and Dunn grabbed an 8-6, 6-3 win after being downed
0-5 in the first set.
The team is 3-1 and second in conference standings.

Soccer Team Planned " onorsDfl y

Convocation
Set Tuesday

A. C. To Have Intercollegiate
Soccer Team In The Fall

By Mack Lyell ,
The stage is set for Alabama
College's new varsity sport, to
be played in the fall of the
year. This sport is soccer.

There has been talk in the past
about soccer as a part of the
intercollegiate athletic program,
and recently a concerted effort
has been made to install soccer
as a part of the athletic pro-
gram next fall.

Soccer is an exciting team
sport. In fact, it is the most
popular game in the world. In
every country in the world ex-
cept the United States and Can-
ada, it is called "football," to
which it is similar.

Soccer is a game which re-
quires strength, stamina and skill.
A soccer game lasts ninety min-
utes with two forty-five minute
halves. There are no time-outs,
except for injuries and after a
goal. It is a rough game in
which there is plenty of hard
hitting— and in this "football" the
players don't wear pads.

Yet it is not as hard to play
soccer as it sounds. Strength and
stamina come with conditioning,
and skills come with practice.
The basic soccer skills are not
hard to learn either. Anyone with
a little ability can pick them up.

Here is where the student body
and individual student fit into

the soccer program at A.C.:

First, as a player— all men are
eligible to play soccer under the
rules governing intercollegiate
athletics. If you are interested,
spring practice is going on now.
The soccer team practices every
afternoon at 3:30 on the soccer
field.

You don't have to have any ex-
perience in soccer, only interest
in it. The experience will come
and you'll find it is a lot of fun.

Second, if you can't play, you
cas support the team. From the
spectator standpoint, soccer is
a very easy game to follow since
it has relatively few rules and
few penalties, not to mention the

excitement of a game.

The main thing is that the soc-
cer program needs support. If
the interest is sufficient to war-
rant having an intercollegiate
team next fall, the funds can
probably be made available for
soccer— it all depends on the in-
terest shown by students.

At the time there are fifteen
boys out for soccer. Mr. Tom Tur-
pin, coach of the team, would
like to keep twenty-two on a
road team and around thirty for
home games. If you would like
to play, go by and see Mr. Tur-
pin or Dr. Tishler is the physi-
cal education department and
find out the details.

AGE PLAY "ANNIE", BUT REAL ANNIE'S GUN— Susan Pat-
idge, who plays Annie Oakley in tonight's production of "Annie
Get Your Gun," sights down the barrel of a genuine collector's
Item — a gun especially made for the real Annie. Now owned by
Dr. Donald G. Lawson (left) of Birmingham, the gun was built in
1916 by the Ithaca Gun Company and was used by the famous
female sharpshooter in her featured trap shooting act.

"Annie" Opens Tonight

Opening tonight on Palmer
;e is the smash Broadway
musical "Annie Get Your Gun."

This play has been a campus-
Wide project encompassing the
speech, music and physical edu-
cation departments. Directing the
Play is Mr. Chichester of the
Speech Department. Miss Crew
of the physical education depart-
ment is dancing coach, Mr. Mid-
^augh of the music department,
Vocal coach; Mr. Myers, speech
department, is technical director.

Rehearsals have been going on
for quite a while, and the whole
cast has pulled together what
Proves to be the greatest musical
Alabama College has presented.

Distribution Date
For Montage Set

"The Montage should be out
about May 20 if everything goes
According to schedule," said Mon-
tage editor Gary McManis this
*eek.

Adding that this is a big "if"
J Ue to possible hold-ups, McManis
Cheated that the book was half-
wished and that May 20 seems
a . reasonable date for distribu-
ion.

Tonight, the box office will
open at 7:15; the house will open
at 7:30. Tickets will be on sale
for $1.50 and $2.00. There will
be a gun display in the lobby of
guns really used by Annie Oak-
ley.

The curtain will go up at 8: 15.

Remodeling Of
Lake Camphouse
Is Under Way

How would you like to spend a
warm spring evening in a small
cozy lake house in the woods
overlooking a beautiful lake? If
everything goes as planned, you
will have the opportunity to do
so May 18.

The remodeling of the student
camphouse at the college lake
has already begun. The Opera-
tions Department has added win-
dows, a road, a parking lot, rest-
rooms, and paint.

David Keller, social chairman,
is taking a group of student vol-
unteers to the camphouse this
Satrday and Sunday at 1:00 p.m.
to "put the place together". He
plans to clean up the entire
area, light and enlarge the path
and wash down the inside.

Keller urges all interested stu-
dents to come to the lake and
help.

A dance at the camphhouse is
tentatively planned for May 18.

Tree Trimmers
left "Treed"

By Esto Escrito

Twelve tree trimmers have been
trimming trees on the A. C. cam-
pus this past week. But there is
one tree that left the tree trim-
mers "treed". Rooted at least
sixty feet above ground, the
mighty two-foot oak protrudes
mockingly from the back of Pal-
mer Hall, majestically facing the
King House.

But the tiny tree must topple,
or Palmer will crumble. The
roots, findinng ourishment in the
mortar, will cause cracks to ap-
pear as the tree grows. If al-
lowed to do so, the tree would
damage the building and lead to
costly repairs.

So if anyone has a spare sixty-
foot ladder under his bed and is
not afraid of heights . . .

Action On Rules Is Up To You

I'm over here at the "Typewriter for Student Use" in the oF
new library. Pecking it out, already long past the deadline— peck-
ing it out, feeling everybody wince at my bangs, clinks and curses
— that's the way I write it all out.

And everybody else hammering out time on the turntable-
tables ... all plugged into the fine new record library facilities.
Boy, do you know — it really can get wild over in the periodical
corner. People wedged in between those excellent expensive head-
sets, talking and singing like all outdoors. And all the distracted
magazine-readers just stupidly grinning.

Something's going to have to be done about it. Need to build
some more private study rooms around the fine new record play-
ers.

You realize of course that Bonnie and Clyde is on. I recom-
mend wholeheartedly that you go-and-see-it. I really didn't dislike
it— I just gave it a bad review. You'll really get a bang out of it
. . . Really, now, it's a pretty good, sig-nif-icant movie flick. If

you don't know, it is on at the Strand, this weekend, now.)

* * »

7:19 A.M.: Now I'm over at the old Tea House trying to peck
out enough copy to fill up my space. Oh, the trials. But ... so
. . . I guess that, now, I'm glad to have had your occasional,
time-to-time, nice comments and favorable responses to the old
col-yum — keep those cards and letters coming. (Actually and
really, though — thank you.)

* * *

Now back up in the dorm last night — just after I had been in-
terrupted from pecking at this column by the fire drill ( not-at-all
eventful i — we (those of us on Crosshall, Third East) were tossing
around this quartzite pebble, this crazy heavy rock, and wondering
what I should put into the paper. Now something was said, be-
tween visits from the R. A., about the cursed coke machines and
the culottes v. short, quite short, skirt prob. But now with the
early new sun on white old Reynolds everything seems pretty
crazy and I can't believe that this — all this!— is going into the
paper.

It's like actually trying to compre-hend Lib's.

The Great Society

By Margo Stephenson

Well, the Senior women finally marched. Of course, it wasn't
a total surprise due to the efforts of one informer who is now
about to be barred from the senior class next year and hung at
sunrise. But the crusading seniors surged ahead undaunted into
the domain of the freshmen women. All in all, there were no
casualties — much to the surprise of freshmen. I think they ex-
pected beatings from nail-studded whips and all they got was a
little wet, a little yelled at and a good deal messed up. Fourth
floor was proclaimed a disaster area and is up for federal aid.

The Omegas held their annual banquet in Birmingham last
weekend. From all accounts it was most successful— with the an-
nouncement of new officers, ginger ale toasts, and as the real
clincher, Who's Who awards. Each member was given recognition
for her unique contribution to club service. The awards not only
were well deserved but went above and beyond the call of duty.

The Deltas also partied this weekend. In typical Delta fashion
and style, they honored their alumni at a — well, let's just call it
a function — for all members apparently were functioning in high
gear.

Have you noticed a decline in freshmen women available for
dating? They have all managed to get engaged, so it seems. In
fact, we can now boast (like the Crest people) that we have 37';
fewer.

The Canterbury Trio will be at the Lowenbrau again this
weekend. If you didn't get up there last weekend, you have a sec-
ond chance. Go early — last weekend they had a record overflow
and turned them away at the door.

Rules are very difficult standards to follow
sometimes, especially when comfort and self-
enjoyment are concerned. Some rules regulate
our lives and we follow them systematically
without question; others we are forced to fol-
low. Still other laws and rules can be changed
to suit the current trends and styles of the per-
iods in which we live, whole others are forced
upon us from our parents, who still live in their
"current period" and other peers, who may still
exist in the past.

But no rule is so absolute that it cannot be
changed by a logical evaluation of the situation.
Let's take a look around us and check some of
the current rules enforced and unenforced: (1)
no student shall use the telephone for more than
5 minutes, without discipline; (2) slacks or shorts
are not to be worn on Sunday; (3) girls are not
to wear shorts or slacks in Montevallo. These
are just a few of the enforced and unenforced
rules of our beloved campus. Take a good look
read your Fledgling, and maybe a few can b
revised, particularly item number 3.

Lotch Contraband

By Keith Harrelson

I have allowed you all to go a whole term without telling you
the secret that could have probably saved you fifty dollars or
more in nickels, dimes, and quarters. They'll get me for telling it,
i'm sure, but I don't care. For the sake of mankind and his econ-
omy, I'm ready to meet my Maker.

Vending machines— ha, ha! No one suspects the truth about
them. You've all been through the same incident, I know. You put
your change into the slot, make your selection, and nothing hap-
pens. You mash the coin release and obtain absolutely no results.
You jiggle levers, make another selection, shake the entire ma-
chine, drop-kick it in the side, and stalk away uttering vile
curses and oaths.

Last summer I had the luck to work for two weeks with a
company that repaired, filled, and leased vending machines of all
sorts. I worked in the shop for three days, and then ran a supply
route to machines at swimming pools for the next eleven days.
The three days in the shop taught me the closely guarded secrets
and mysteries of the machines, and eleven days on the route
taught me to fear them and abhor them. The simplest but most
valuable secret concerning them is the one I tell you now.

They are alive.

Yes, believe me, they live, as surely as you or I, as surely as
a DNA molecule, as surely as Virginia's Santa Claus. And they
are endowed with certain occult powers peculiar only to a crea-
ture of cold-rolled steel and grease. They can read your mind,
they can defy the laws of the universe, they can choose their vic-
tims with a callousness that is unimaginable.

But, like any living being, t{iey have their weaknesses and can
be controlled to a certain extent. For example, just as a child
can be made to swallow something by massaging its throat, so
can a candy machine be made to accept a dime. There is always
a certain vulnerable spot right near the slot that can be pounded
in such a way as to force the machine to accept the coin instead
of passing it right through to the floor. Unfortunately, there is no
way to guarantee that it will deliver your selection instead of
something of its own choice.

The machines pick their victims either with a cold indiffer-
ence or a hideously evil devision. A typical case is the incident a
friend of mine experienced. He was standing fourth in a line of
five boys buying from the Coke machine (Coke machines! Noto-
rious! Decidedly Satanic! Worst of the bunch!). The first three in-
serted their dimes and got their Cokes with no trouble at all. He
inserted his, the last one he had to his name, and mashed the
button as he rubbed his parched throat. The Mechanical Demon
clicked twice, sent the dime deep into its entrails, and burped

Pass-Fail
System
A Success?

Salt Lake City, Utah(I.P.)-The
pass-fail grading experiment at
the University of Utah— which be
gan in the autumn quarter — has
been favorably received by
majority of the faculty and stu
dents on campus. But eve
though the advocates seemingly
outnumber the critics, as expect
ed, the pass/fail option is no
without its problems.

According to Dr. J. Boyer Jar-
vis, associate vice president for
academic affairs and dean of ad-
missions and registration, th
system may require continuin
refinement throughout its two
year trial period. Dr. Jarvis i
chairman of the three-man a
hoc committee on grading prac
tices which inaugurated the ne "
system.

As recommended by Dean Jar
vis' committee and approved b:
the Faculty Coucil and Board o
Regents, students can select on
pass-fail grade each quarter, n~
to exceed three in the freshman
sophomore or six in the junior
senior years.

Some English, speech, languag
and mathematics courses are e~
eluded from the option, and it i
left up to the discretion of a stu
dent's major department whethe
it will accept or reject "pass'
grades in fulfilling major require
merits for graduation.

"Pass" grades, however, d
produce regular University credi
but have no bearing on a stu
dent's grade point average. Gr
duate students, too, are give
more freedom in the option. The
are allowed to choose more tha
one pass-fail grade per quarte
though rules concerning this ar
still jelling in the individual d
partments.

The whole purpose of the pas
fail system at the University sai
the ad hoc committee member
is to encourage students to bnr
den their interests (and thu
their education) in fields outsid
their majors. Under the old sy
tern, some students were relu
tant to take these classes fo
fear of competing with mo"
knowledgeable students majorin
in that discipline. They wer
afraid of getting poor grades an
lowering their grade point ave
ages.

Members of the ad hoc comini
tee, including Dean Jarvis, Dr
Oakley J. Gordon, dean of acad
mic counseling and acting dean
general education and Dr. Sidne
W. Angleman, professor of En
lish, made the recommendatio
after two open meetings whe
students expressed their views o
pass-fail grading practices. Tho
who oppose pass-fail gradin
though in minority, claim that
will erode the scholarly atmo
phere of classes.

"Scholarly people just will n
be satisfied with a simple pa
fail grade," says Dr. Frank
.lex, professor of educational P s _
chology and a member of t
University's 1962-63 ad hoc gra
ing committee. "It is the stude
who just barely gets by wh
wants the pass/fail system."

ROCKING OUT IN THE LIBRARY?— Miss Susan Ribble listens
|to one of the library's new recordings, provided with turntables
and earphones by the Alumni Association and College.

With 750 Round Sounds

How Campus
Got Falcons,
Not Penguins

Ever wonder how the team
came to be Falcons instead of
Penguins or Anteaters — or some-
thing with such verve and ori-
ginality as Panthers?

Since intercollegiate sports is
a relatively new thing at A. C,
the name is not very old or dif-
ficult to trace back.

In 1959 President Dr. Howard
Phillips appointed a committee
to judge names submitted by the
student body in a "Name the
Team" contest. A $25 prize was
offered for the best name, and
the whole procedure sounds much
like the recent "Name the Mas-
cot" contest which gave "Ace"
to the Falcons.

The contest, in fact, was held
"in an effort to gain student in-
terest," says an old Alabamian.
The same old song, just difffer-
ent words . . .

But the team received its
moniker, due to the efforts of
the committee; and contest win-
ner Ronald Smith, whose name
hereby goes down in posterity,
was $25 richer.

The eeriest sensation imagin-
able is sitting in a library be-
fog bombarded, inundated, over-
whelmed by sound. But that is
that happens when you don a
pair of earphones and plug them
into a turntable over in Carmi-
thael Hall.

Just about everybody has heard
I, but the official word is now
nit that Alabama College has
ight turntables. Two pairs of
arphones may be plugged into
ach of the eight.
The record collection of 750
Sties runs the gamut from classi-

cal to pop via jazz, musicals,
spoken (including plays, poetry,
speeches).

Although a tenth of the rec-
ords are ready for use, the popu-
larity of this new service has
far surpassed the wildest hopes
of the library staff.

The equipment and records
were made possible by a large
gift from the Alumni Association
matched by the college.

Naturally, a couple of regula-
tions must be followed; records
must be used in the library, and
there is a two-hour limit on the
use of earphones.

I Albion, Mich.(I.P.)— An exped-
ient in the use of tape recorders
> grade English papers appears
i be a success, according to Dr.
loseph J. Irwin, chairman of the
English Department at Albion
allege.

The program begun this year
■ Albion makes use of small por-
Ible tape recorders and tape car-
tages. Instructors record their
omments on tape as they make
* mechanical corrections on pa-
ir.

Dr. Irwin states that the advan-
ce lies not in saving time in
Jj* system but rather that it is
"ssible for an instructor to do
touch more complete job of cri-
c 'sm with the recorder.
The department has six record-
's. Four of the machines are
by faculty to record com-
fntary and two are fixed to ta :
' s in a small room for student
filing use.

Students purchase their own
"Midges at the beginning of the
( *>ester and all of their work is
{'"ted on the same cartridge
'"ughout the course. Each car-
™8e can carry up to an hour of
^Hents. Students thus receive
;*nsive individual guidance on
' lr Work from their instructor.
3dents turn in their cart-
8 es with their papers. The use
., cartridges eliminates loss of
j. e lor threading machines and
Irwin said that when re-
grading first began, there
some student resistance but
^ttributed this mainly to reluc-
to purchase the cartridge.
. s ays that from watching and
it n, ng to students he now feels
they favor the system and
^cs little hesitation on the
°f the students to use the
pr. Irwin also sees more
the system in correcting
e xams and longer papers.

Do you have any windows that
need washing? Term papers that
need typing? Shoes that need
polishing? Grass that needs cut-
ting?

If you do, the Baptist Student
Union has the solution— Spring
Cleaning.

From now until May 24, the

BSU is having an all-out Spring
Cleaning Project to raise money
for summer missions. The money
received from this project will
help send three A. C. students,
Mary Granade, Beverly Brassell,
and Larry Scales, to Jamaica,
Israel, and Vietnam, respectively,
to do mission work this summer.

opposition to the experiment and
predicts it will run into trouble
in the two-year trial, particularly
for graduate students. "The five-
grade system has been with us
for a very long time," Dr. Jex
added. "There are some basic
psychological reasons why it has
endured through the years."

Grading practices have long
been a sore spot on the aca-
demic scene. Many professors
feel far too much importance has
been placed on grades and not
enough on learning.

"We are just beginning to real-
ize that grades are not all that
important," said Dr. Gordon.
"And they do not, for example,
predict what success a student
will have in his future life."

Dr. Angleman also pointed to
the old cliche about Law School

grades: "The 'A' students become
law professors; the 'B' students
become judges and the 'C stu-
dents make the money."

Though switching was not spell-
ed out in the Faculty Council
resolution on pass/fail, the regis-
trar felt the intent was not to
allow students having trouble in
classes "to bail out" by trying
to exercise the pass/fail option.

Most students are enthusiastic
about the pass/fail system, and
its popularity is increasing at a
phenomenal rate. According to the
Registrar's Office, 1,531 students
exercised the pass/fail option in
the Autumn Quarter. During the
Winter Quarter, 3,125 asked for
pass/fail grades in classes, indi-
cating the poplarity of the sys-
tem more than doubled in a
single quarter.

Gymnastics Team Places
Third In State Meet

By Ann Smith
Women's Sports Editor

The Alabama State Gymnastics Meet, held here for the first
time on the Alabama College campus, Saturday, April 27, 1968,
featured five schools in the five hour competition. Competing in
Myrick Hall for top honors were: George Peabody College, Nash-
ville, Tennessee; Auburn University, Jefferson State Junior Col-
lege, Troy State University and Alabama College.

Outstanding among the men competitors were Aubrey Bowles
and Warren Bacon, both representing Auburn. Under the direc-
tion of their coach, E. J. Bingston, they received many awards and
helped carry Auburn to the championship. Bowles kept the spec-
tators and participants constantly amazed by his skill as he placed
first in all men's events except one— the last event of the day—
the trampoline competition. An Auburn teammate, however, re-
ceived the first place medal instead, while Bowles only came in
third!

Lee Ward of Auburn and Karen Peters of Feabody shared the
women's spotlight. Miss Ward placed first in two events and sec-
ond in three events. Miss Peters placed first in two events and
third place in one.

Alabama College students were well represented in this, then-
first state competition. Nancy Neely shared the second place posi-
tion with Lee Ward for floor exercise. Donna Donnelly placed sec-
ond in vaulting, Diane Dawson placed fourth in the uneven paral-
lel competition while Gloria Birmingham placed fourth in vault-
ing and Jim Cruse placed fourth on the horizontal bars. Also Kay
Deavor placed first in women's trampoline.

Events included in the competition were floor exercise (men
and women), tumbling (men and women), side horse (men), bal-
ance beam (women), uneven parallel bars (women), vaulting long
horse (men), vaulting side horse (women), trampoline (men and
women) and horizontal bar (men).

The final results of the day gave the trophy without a doubt
to Auburn with 157 points. Second place went to George Peabody
College with a total of 90 points. Alabama College placed third
with 37 points.

Judges for the competition were: Miss Sara Redmond, A. C;
Kenneth Black, Peabody College; E. J. Bingston, Auburn; Miss
Freddie Malone, A. C; and Jack Stevens, Peabody.

Members of the first Alabama College Gymnastic Team are:
Roger Johnson, Sid Edwards, Jim Cruse, Jim Bodley, David
Woods, Diane Dawson, Liz Richter, Carol Capps, Nancy Neely,
Barbara Blackwell, Donna Donnelly, Gloria Birmingham, Wanda
Boggs and Kay Deavor. Sponsor of the team is Miss Freddie Ma-
lone.

BOWLING

ALL- PRO CHAMPION

**★
*★

Bowling Instruction

To assist you with your game and improve your scoring, I will demonstrate the
Four Step Approach as it is taught by the AMF Staff of Champions.

STARTING POINT. Place both heels at the
foul line, take 4V 2 brisk walking steps
from the foul line and turn around. This
is your correct starting position.
STANCE. Left foot forward, right foot back.
Stand erect, knees slightly bent. Support
the weight of the ball in both hands. Place
your fingers and thumb into the proper
holes and hold the ball to the right side.
FIRST STEP, the pushaway, is the first and
most important step. As you move your
right foot forward, push the ball forward
and down in one easy motion.
SECOND STEP. Once in an arc motion, the
ball starts into the backswing. Keep your
arm close to your body. Move your left
foot forward. Your left arm swings away
to a natural balancing position.
THIRD STEP. The ball reaches the top of
the backswing, not above shoulder level.
The right foot is forward, shoulders paral-
lel to the foul line. Lean forward and down.
u,- FOURTH STEP. As your left foot slides, your
right arm comes forward in one simulta-
neous motion. Perfect timing is achieved
when your sliding foot and right hand
reach the foul line together. Left knee is
bent, shoulders are at right angles to
direction of delivery, your right arm comes
through to lift the ball over the foul line.
FOLLOW THROUGH. Upon releasing the
ball your arm should follow through over
your right shoulder. Hold this position,
balanced on your left foot until the ball
hits the pins. If you cannot maintain this
balanced position, your delivery has not
been smooth and easy.

Kappas Win
Last Game Of
Round Robin

By Marsha PoIIitt

An exciting game between the
Omegas and Kappas ended the
Round Robin Tuesday in wom-
en's intramural competition with
juniors Beth Moulds and Eleanor
Headrick calling the game.

The Omegas put on a good
show in the first inning by getting
two outs at first base and a fly-
out against the Kappas, making
for a short inning out in the field.
Judy Mitchell got a hit, which
brougt Dorianne home for " the
first run of the game.

The bases were loaded when
Suzanne Griffith made a hit to
bring Pat Kinney home to score
a second run, giving the Omegas
a lead of 2-0.

Making several errors in the
field, the Omegas got off to a bad
start in the second. The Kappas
took advantage of the fact as
they made six runs.

Dee Herndon raised the score
by a long hit to left field, push-
ing three runs across home and
bringing the score to 5-2. A short
hit to first brought Dee across
the plate to end the top half of
the second 6-2.

In the bottom of the second
Judy Mitchell had a hit which
brought in Earlena Peterson and
Dorianne to make the score a
close 6-4.

The third inning was a good one
for the Kappas, as they were able
to gain two runs and bring the
score to 8-4. The highlight of this
inning's action was Suzanne Grif-
fin's adept catch of a fly ball
which bounced off her glove,
over her hand, and ended in the
glove.

The spirit was really high on
the Omega side as they got up to
bat their last inning, batting to
win the game. But luck was not
on their side, and the game end-
ed with the Kappas winning 8-4.

The only other game played
Tuesday was between the fresh-
men and the Thetas. The fresh-
men won 12-6.

Double elimination started Wed-
nesday with sophomores facing
freshmen and Omegas facing the
Thetas.

CAMPUS
FASHION

By CHIP TOLBERT

ESQUIRE'S FASHION EDITOR

SPRING FEVER i s one of man's most devilish disorders. As a po
c«ice remarked, ". . . men's eyes in April are quicker than thei
brains." It is usually accompanied by vague stirrings of disconten
heightened sensitivity and a search for something new and exci
ing. What better time than now to take stock of your wardrobe an
inject some crisp, fresh fashion accents to keep pace with you
mood. Give an eye to:

THE TURTLE T which adapts to Spring by transferring the turtl
neck (and mock turtle) onto short sleeve T-shirts. The colors ar
bright and the synthetic fiber blends lend just the right textur
look for wearing alone where weather permits or under wove
fabric buttondown shirts when the breezes blow. Some come wi
vented sides which add style and comfort when the Turtle T is wo
outside the slacks.

THE LOOK OF THE LINK

is no longer sandtrapj
there. Golfing apparel is s
good looking and versatil
that it will be equally a"
propriate for classrooms o
campus carousing. Poly
ester blend slacks now com
in Tattersall checks and bol
plaids, as do the poplin drizzler jackets. The classic cardigan re-
mains solid color — but what color! Chrome yellow, vivid orange,
blazing blue and green, mango (very popular in the South o
France). And speaking of color . . .

FAIRWAY GREEN AND BLUE lead our list of

important shades this Spring. These vivid blues
and vibrant greens, first conceived for golfing
fashions, will show up in all types of apparel. In
great vogue now, the large windowpane plaid
sport jacket looks particularly handsome when
combining both colors in its pattern. The same
plaid is great in Dacron/wool slacks with color-
coordinated hopsack jacket.

SLIP-ON SHOES SURGE to new heights o

popularity, due mainly to the myriad of style
now made available to aficionados. Ease an
comfort in wearing has always been the bi£
appeal for slip-ons. But now you can choose from high front wing-
tips, suedes with metal instep trim, grained leather monk-style or
calf moccasins with kiltie flap and tassel— to mention just a fe* r
variations. We particularly like the currently stylish blunt toe
which gives just the right balanced look and fashion accent to foot-
wear. So whatever your mood — from formal to fun and games-"
there's a slip-on to match it.

NEXT MONTH we'll close up the academic year with fashion s^S'
gestions for your summer hiatus. But right now, make Spring th e
most — it's the time things are happening, man !

Administration OK's Plan
To Relieve Parking Jam

As so many other classes in the past, the 1968 Senior Class will
enter Palmer Hall June 2 for graduation exercises that mark the
end of the group as a body and the beginning of a whole new
phase in each person's life. Senior Class President Bob Rollins
(above) will lead his class.

Dean James R. Wilkinson an-
nounced last week plans designed
to alleviate congested parking on
campus, starting with the fall
semester.

Major changes in existing park-
ing regulations involve commuting
students, who will have exclusive
parking privileges in Comer lot
and its access road every school
day after 7:30 a.m. A section of
Palmer parking lot will also be
alloted to commuters.

Resident students will continue
to use Fuller, Calkins, and Jeter
lot. However, there will be no
parking by resident students in-
Comer lot after 7:30 each morn-
ing.

The curbing and stripes in the
zones alloted to each group will
be painted over the summer ac-
cording to a color designated for
it: commuter parking, red; resi-
dent parking, green; faculty par-
king, white.

Windshield stickers color-keyed
to the various parking zones will
be issued for all vehicles at a
cost of $1.00 per sticker. By the
new plan, students with green
stickers, for instance, will park
only in green-striped zones.

Dean Wilkinson said the admi-
nistrative decision to implement
this plan came after discussions
with student leaders and campus
police as to how persistent park-
ing problems could be met.

Suggestions written in classes
by various students were also
considered and a big issue to
many students, it was found, was
the problem of pedestrian traffic.

Drivers consistently remarked
upon pedestrians who stepped in
front of moving cars, the con-
sensus being that students who
walk should remember that a
person in motion is more easily
stopped than a vehicle in motion.
New Gates
Also under consideration by the
Administrative Council is a sys-
tem of gates at campus access
roads to match the existing gates
in style and function.

If the plan meets with approval
of student leaders, all but two
gates entering the campus would
be closed after 11 p.m., Monday-
Thursday; after 12:30 p.m., Fri-
day-Sunday.

The purpose of the new gates,
said Wilkinson, is "to protect
the property of students and col-
lege" from possible late-night
damage or theft. The present
number of free entrances to the
campus, it has been found, makes
it difficult for campus police to
oversee the entire campus effi-
ciently.

If the new plan is put into ef-
fect, cars could enter the cam-
pus after the above hours only
by access roads on either side
of Calkins Hall, both of which
pass the police station.

Dean Wilkinson emphasized that
the proposed gates are not in-
tended to restrict students' move-
ment to and from the campus.
Campus police would be aided
in regulating the outlying areas
of the campus late at night in
that they would have fewer en-
trances to police.

A Question Of Respect McCarthy Polled First

In National Choice 68

By Jim Houghton

On the memorial page of our newly "brilliantly edited" Mon-
tage, we find the truest example of the pseudo-intellectual's ex-
asperating habit of attempting to explain life and death by dredg-
ing up a literary quotation which does little more than reveal the
trite sophistication of the person doing the quoting. As for the
admirable aspiration of those that fumbled through Shakespeare's
"Macbeth", it can only be said that "you blew it. baby '

The passage that was so strenuously chosen was the one ex-
pressed in "Macbeth" in which a man who has destroyed his own
humanity feels life for him "is a tale Told by an idiot, full of
sound and fury./Signifying nothing."

Did the life of Luis Benejam reflect "the talc of an idiot,
signifying nothing"? Before answering such a question, look at the
life of a man who devoted himself to music and to the school that
he so greatly served. And editors, ask the parents of George Barn-
hart and Thomas Odum the same question.

Senator Eugene McCarthy won
the Choice 68 election with 285,-
598 votes (28%). His closest con-
tenders were Senator Robert
Kennedy who got 213,576 votes
(21%) and former vice-president
Richard Nixon polling 196,870
votes (19%). 1.1 million college
students voted in the April 24
election conducted on 1,200 cam-
puses.

Senator McCarthy not only won
on the first choice place but also
was selected for the presidency
on the second choice. He took
21% of the votes compared with

17.72% for RFK and 17.16% for
New York Governor Nelson Rock-
efeller who pushed Nixon into
fourth place.

It is interesting to note that
those students indicating that
they were Democrat selected
Kennedy first and McCarthy sec-
ond. Republican students clearly
chose Nixon and Rockefeller on
their first ballot and Rockefeller
then Nixon on the second choice.

For their second choice candi-
dates the Democrats wanted Mc-
Carthy and Kennedy. One of the

Reflections From Retiring Editor . . .

Or "Gray Hair Can Be Fun"

By Carol Weir

During the interim period of preparing this
final joint edition with the new editor, J. C.
Rush, I've had occasion to stop and evaluate
the past year's adventures and misadventures
as Alabamian editor.

The experience, upon reflection, can perhaps
best be described as "An Experiment in En-
thusiastic Bungling." Fresh from the staff of a
city newspaper last summer and still in the
first flush of optimism, the Alabamian was to
have been revamped with no less fervor than a
Hearst or Pulitzer.

Having duly read the life histories of cigar-
chomping, sharp-tongued editors, my editorship
was to be a successful Reign of Terror. With
an enthusiastic staff sniffing out the news for the
pure joy of journalistic endeavors, though, I
thought it would be all right to dispense with
at least the cigar-chomping.

Soon it became apparent, however, that the
person most likely to be terrified was me; for
untold disasters rested on my shoulders alone,
as per the constitution of the Alabamian. And
disasters did occur— such as the week half the
staff resigned in a sudden burst of scholastic
enthusiasm (or necessity, as the case may be).

Then there was the perennial problem of
meeting what was never mentioned in the Tower
in less than a shout— deadlines. Threats to pinch
heads off or lash with a wet noodle seemed to
be the norm in that regard. (J. C, be sure to
get a list before I leave of the choicer threats.)

But now that the year is over I can say the

experience of serving the campus in the capa-
cities of writer, proofreader, errand runner, typ-
ist and editor has been rewarding and— ulp!—
fun. I must say this with some disappointment,
however, since the Alabamian is not revamped,
for mainly one reason— that so few people on
campus have investigated the outlet for personal
satisfaction and campus service which publica-
tions work provides.

The Alabamian could be a polished weekly
newspaper serving as more than a bulletin board
for upcoming events or history of past ones, if
more people would put their talents to work
writing feature stories or doing some in-depth
reporting that requires time and some really ex-
citing thinking.

Nearly every person is interested in something
a newspaper covers— politics at all levels, art,
music, fashions, science, religion— and the trend
in newspapers is to cover in some depth the
issues in these areas, since just facts are easier
and easier to get due to improved communica-
tions media.

Also, for those who don't write, there are
business jobs in such things as sales, filing,
typing, and circulation, which go begging for
lack of dependable people each year.

There— I have had my say. May I thank my
staff for a job that could not have been done
without them. Also I must thank my room-
mates for tolerating my paranoia which mys-
teriously developed when the paper came out
according to schedule and the temper tantrums
when it didn't.

You seniors are the leaders of tomorrow, the hope of the futu
blah-blah . . .

Power Means Responsibility
For A.C. Student Government

By J. C. Rush

The Student Government Association of Alabama College has
gone through many stages of development since its conception.
Through the years it has developed from a "student council" type
organization into a broadly based institution with executive, legis-
lative and judicial powers and a budget of over $25,000 a year.

Gradually as students proved themselves responsible, the ad-
ministration gladly granted increasing amounts of its power to the
students. We can extend the powers of student government into
other fields if we desire the additional responsibility.

This is not an appeal for unlimited student power. As of now,
we at A.C. have all the power we can properly handle. This is an
appeal for responsible leadership and a responsible student body-
to consolidate and utilize fully the powers we already hold.

The coming year can be the best year yet for our S.G.A. If we
can end factionalism and apathy and use our present powers in a
responsible and mature way, the respect and trust of the adminis-
tration and faculty will be ours.

If we can maintain our present level of student activities and
at the same time improve the quality of the other aspects of our
student organizations, the administration and faculty should be
willing to entrust us with broader control over student life at
Alabama College.

At the present time, the student world seems to be in the
midst of a revolution. Students are trying to convince educators
of their maturity by means of riots and demonstrations. If we are
truly mature and responsible we can convince our administration
by means of well-planned campus events, responsible student elec-
tions and efficient student government.

New Editor's Credo

Success Of Alabamian Partly Up To You

By J. C. Rush

Upon assuming the editorship of The Alabam-
ian, I find myself faced with many problems and
many possibilities. The coming year could be
the most disastrous of my short life or the most
fruitful. Whatever happens in the next year, it
will certainly be the most interesting of my
years at A.C.

The Alabamian has a tremendous amount of
potential for the students of Alabama College.
Whether you work on the paper's staff, read the
paper, or line your trash cans with it, it serves
a purpose.

To the staff, The Alabamian offers on-the-job
training in journalism and business. To the stu-
dent, The Alabamian offers up to date informa-
tion and comment on student affairs. To the
Student Government Assocition, The Alabamian
serves as a line of communication to the student
at large. To Alabama College, The Alabamian
serves as a source of criticism and as a source
of praise.

How well the student paper serves its purpose
is partly my responsibility and partly yours. The
Alabamian is controlled by an amazingly small
amount of administrative censorship. The stu-

dents are free to present to the paper whatev
views they wish to express. The sole judge
what is to be printed is the editor.

My position as editor implies many things,
editor I have a responsibility to the adminis
tion because it is the college which gives t
paper its right to exist. I also have a respon
bility to grant the students and opportunity f
free expression.

It is my duty as an elected editor to pr
the views of the students of this college as lo
as these are not slanderous or libelous. I w
not edit news articles or letters to the editor
the basis of my personal prejudices concern'
the content of such material. Material will
edited on the basis of its interest to the s
dents and the quality of its presentation.

As for my editorial policies, in its editoria
this paper will print the opinions of its st
We will not follow the whims of the crowd n
the desires of the powers-that-be if we feel
have a valid reason to object.

The staff would like to begin its year by wisW
ing the Class of '68 a fond farewell. We wjl
especially miss Carol Weir who has done an ex-
cellent job this year in spite of many difficulties^

Letters To The Editor

It was ten thousand years ago, or yesterday— time absolutely
past— that I walked in the middle of the night down to the old
laundromat and smelled the honeysuckle. And carried the clothes
in there; the paint on the buiftting's side has resurrected itself to
again say "RAINBOW MARKET— FANCY GROCERIES— MEATS".
You can read that coming back up from the Dairy D. in the after
supper twilight, when the quadrangle is shadowless and most pleas-
ant of all.

And somewhere there is a big round tree, blowing green in the
wind on the hillside; heaped high from a couple's eyeview on the
late spring's grass. And over the hill, past the dull side of the
leaves, wind-turned, must be the view of the water towers and the
old, high, back side of Main.

Again, another yesterday— tomorrow— you'll drive up to B'ham
to get back into the world, and going to the show you pass the
cows and the Siluria redlight and the honeysuckle breeze comes
in the vent on you.

Early morning, you walk from Palmer smelling like Lib's,
grease-saturated. Or someone clambers up the middle of Main— or
up to Third Napier!— always someone clambering up, feeling fine.

The minute that College Night is over; the hour that you drive
back into A. C. in September after Labor Day; climbing up from
Davis Falls— climbing down below Falling Rock; driving through

Dear Carol,

As a graduating senior of Ala-
bama College, may I express my
regret and deepest sympathy on
the unexpected death of the Mon-
tage.

A true asset to Alabama Col-
lege's history was injured by the
1968 annual which reeks with
pictorial errors, typographical er-
rors, and general neglect of im-
portant pictures such as the class
officers.

The cover, nearing humor, lacks
the prestige due to this noted
institution.

Thank you for giving the an-
nuals away, for if they had to
be purchased I'm afraid there
would be a surplus on hand.

I could say more complimentary
things about the "broken arm"
of our student publications, in-
cluding The Tower, but I believe
they speak for themselves..

Next year, may I suggest a
faculty committee consisting of a
few English professors for the
sole purpose of proofreading.

Yours critically,
Thomas Harrison

Dear Editor:

Recently, we heard ex-Governor
George Wallace, for the late Gov-
ernor Lurleen Wallace, announce
a 4% pay raise for Alabama
school-teachers— but are our tea-
chers worth an additional pay in-
crease?

We find today graduates of
Alabama high schools and col-
leges that are deficient in com-
mon reading, writing and arith-
metic skills; but through a weird
proccess of brainwashing, we have
come to believe that all our tea-
chers are underpaid and over-
worked martyrs sacrificing them-
selves on the alters of education.
While we have seen teachers' sal-
aries increase to an overall 1000%
increase in the past 50 years, we
have yet to see a comparable in-
crease in educational standards
in Alabama.

While we have heard teachers
attack their pay, we have yet to
hear them attack our sub-stan-
dard educational system. Perhaps
if the teacher gave us a high ed-
ucational standard and not a
"Dark Age" educational system,

we would raise their pay to the
national scale. But why pay moi
for the same old system— just *
keep the sacred teachers satis-
fied.

THE ALABAMIAN, Alabama College

May 22, 1968

Page 3

Lotch Contraband

By Keith Harrelson
The Alabamian office has been open to me for the past semes-
ter, since I was graciously bestowed a key to the necessarily locked
door last Christmas. The details of the wild-goose-chase approval
system necessary for me to get it is quite a story in itself. Let me
just say, though, that in order to get a key cut for me down at
Operations Department. I was required to obtain the written per-
mission of ex-President Dr. Culp, the four college presidents pre-
ceding him, Mrs. Hood. Charlie, the Cop, and the maid who mops
up the bathroom up on Fourth Central.

Nevertheless, the effort was well worth it, for not only does
the key open the door to this newspaper office, but it also yields to
me the treasures of the Office of Admissions and Records, the
Heating Plant, the back door of Fuller, Operations Department
itself, and the bathroom on Fourth Central. (For a small price,
folks, I have access to grade records, extra air-conditioning,
freshman dates, keys, and an unoccupied commode for anyone
J that's interested.) On to less serious prattle now —

Even though Carol Weir's desk is the world's foremost example
>f a proper pigpen, I still find it convenient to use as a place to
go and hide from all the things that terrify me (efficiency, cleanli-
ness, comfort, etc. . . .(. Yesterday I discovered among the tons
of paper some letters to the editor. All of them were to the edi-
tor, none to me or the other writers or even the guy down at the
printer's who can make some of the most profound typographical
errors on earth— just to the editor. They did intrigue me. though,
js I considered their origin.
"Dear Editor:

I have heard from a extremely reliable sorse that \vc
are being fed saltpeter when we are fed in the cafateiia.
Is this true? We as studants have the right to know if this
is true. Could you please print us a anser? I dont think we
need it to control us (the saltpeter).

Signed.
A Irate Studant"

Of course, there's this one:
"Dear Editor:

In your article of the issue of the 19th of April last,
in reporting the last of new officers of the Alabama Col-
lege Alcoholic Control Committee, I feel that I must point
out that you transposed the positions of two letters in my
last name. Please be more careful in the future.

Thank You,

Michael Schleichvoorhausen"
There's one commending the present editor on the quality of
her work, and, at the end, the writer adds wistfully:

". . . and I'm sure that if I were put in your position, I
myself would most likely fling my hands up in despair and
walk out on the whole mess."
lit was signed "J. C. Rush."

There was a last one, written with the apparent object of
|bolstering someone's ego:

". . . you have done absolutely fabulously in your post as
Editor of the Alabamian for the year 1967-68. If the term s
work does not produce a First Class Honor Rating from the
Associated Collegiate Press of the N.S.P.A., I myself will
be disappointed to the point of tears. Congratulations again
on a wonderful job.

Praisingly Yours,
Carol Ann Weir"

Step Closer To National Frats

Fourth Social Fraternity Organized;
Stresses Individual Development

by Gary D. Mitchell

With the expansion of educa-
tional facilities and the overall
growth of the student body, there
exists a greater demand for soci-
al activities and groups. One such
group has recently been organized
and granted permission by the ad-
ministration to be ranked among
the social fraternities. The newest
addition to Alabama College's
social directory is the Chi Alpha
Tau fraternity..

The first concrete plans for Chi
Alpha Tau were laid on March 5
cf this year. In two months time,
these plans have grown into a
fraternity of fourteen members.
The new fraternity will partici-

pate in the fall rush, along with
the three existing fraternities.

This acceptance of a fourth
group brings the fraternities ai
Alabama College within one step
of eligibility for national status.
(The administration holds thai
there should be five fraternities
on campus before any may attain
national status.)

Chi Alpha Tau's primary aim
is to recognize members' poten-
tials and aid each member in the
development of his abilities. Thai
is, they hope to place the empha-
sis on the fraternity as a whole
helping each individual to reach
his personal goals. In conjunction
with this idea of developing po-

tential, Chi Alpha Tau expresses
scholarship; the prerequisite for
pledgeship is a 1.00 accumulative
grade point average.

But scholarship is not the sole
aim of this fraternity. Included in
i heir plans are a number of par-
ties in Birmingham and a house
party in Panama City this sum-
mer.

The officers of Chi Alpha Tau
are: President, Chip Woody; Vice
President, Jim Griffin; Secretary,
Keith Harrelson; Treasurer, Gary
Dennis; Chaplain, John Caroth-
ers; Parliamentarian, Rick White;
Social Chairman, Mike Strong;
Pledgemaster, Wayne Thompson;
and Sgt.-at-Arms, Ben Rountree.

The Great Society Gaskin And

Hermecz Win

By Margo Stephenson

Wi|th the last issue of The Alabamian comes the end of "The
Sreat Society". With the end of the year upon me. I had wondered
,*hat Alabama College would be doing next year and just what all
Kould be going on. As I sat down and pondered the future one
Joight. a little green stem like creature appeared before me and
Jtold me he and his comrades had chosen me as the only human
being to be told of a happening about to occur. Being a carrier
r* all sorts of news this past year, I feel it my duty and obliga-
ion to pass on to you what is to come.

I have for some time now been aware of a cleverly devised
invasion. One so abominable and terrible that I dared not voice my
knowledge for fear of being scorned and ridiculed (perish the

division were: first, Dennis Her-
mecz, a freshman from Fairhope,
who gave a winning reading of
"Mr. Flood's Party" in the final
round; second, Joe Taylor, sopho-
more from Birmingham, who in-
terpreted Frost's "Out, Out" in
the preliminaries, and third, Bev-
erby Brasell, junior from Mobile,
reading "Home Burial," and "The
Master."

Other finalists were Annette
Short, junior from Adamsville,
and Becke Brown, freshman from
Selma.

Extemporaneous speech topics
concerning current events were
drawn at random by participants.

Thumbing Through

Editor's Note: First of a new column for next year.

Thumbs up for the music department. Those who missed the
concert by the Chamber Choir, Chorale, and Canterbury Trio
Tuesday night missed something special. Accolades for Mr. Prit-
chett! This man has an ear for harmony and a sense of rhythm
which make his arrangements outstanding. The high points of the
concert were the performances of "Up, Up and Away" and "Going
Out of My Head/Can't Take My Eyes Off of You," made especially
professional sounding by the addition of drums, bass, and brass
ensemble. Alabama College is fortunate to have Ted Piitchett, a
man with his eye and ear on what's happening in the pop music
field. In fact, he is probably too good to remain at A. C. for long
— and that's a prediction.

Speaking of predictions, it seems that the campus prognostica-
tors foresee a tragic accident occurring this week near Calkins or
Reynolds. About the worse thing this writer can think of in this
connection is that Dr. Van Tuyll would accidentally miss his Mys-
ticism class. The "Good Doctor" is another teacher the students can
be grateful for. Would that all the faculty were as capable and
responsible!

Looks like some Freshmen have been holding Ruin-Ins in
Main dorm — tearing new wallpaper off the walls, writing amateur
poetry in the bathrooms, and kicking or punching holes in the
walls and ceiling. It must be Freshmen, because surely no one
over 18 would be so ignorant and immature. Thumbs down for
such idiocy.

Simon and Bullwinkle have a new album that rivals any such
commercial product of its kind since Sgt. Pepper revived his
Lonely Hearts Club Band. These young graduate school professors
worked for months to achieve something fresh in this LP. and it
was well worth the effort; "Bookends" almost reads the mind of
youth without direction or goals. Another new album of note is
"Birthday" by the Association. Some pleasant surprises here.

Men, won't it be nice to be back in our own dorms this sum-
mer and next year! Even three in a room in Napier will be better
than two in a room in Main. Progress is important, but it's nice
that the boys don't have to suffer at the hands of progress for
more than one year.

Monday evening a pretty co-ed was observed leaning against
the sun dial in the middle of the quadrangle watching the sun go
down. She was quiet and the heavy chords of the organ in Calkins
emphasized the melancholy of her face. She seemed to have tears
in her eyes, but a sort of half-smile made her expression enigmatic.
The wind pulled her long brown hair across her face, and it was
obvious that she was miles — or years — away. Suddenly the organ
stopped; the spell was broken, and the young lady turned and
walked back to her dorm. It is certain she lives in Tutwiler. Here's
to the Seniors! Good luck in your new lives.

In all the rush of exams, graduation, and summer vacation,
don't forget to enjoy being alive. Rally.

Incidentally, what about those yearbooks? This writer' really
can't decide. The color is excellent, and the quotes from "The
Prophet" are certainly profound and appropriate, but the book as
a whole seems to lack precision. Oh, well, no one expects perfec-
tion in student publications.

Have a hot summer.

McCarthy Polled First

(Continued from Page 1)

surprises of Choice 68 is the fact
that both Republicans and Dem-
ocrats chose Rockefeller and Mc-
Carthy as the third preferred
choices.

Students in the South picked
Nixon, RFK, McCarthy and Wal-
lace. Voting on the Issues, stu-
dents in the South expressed
opinions similar to the students
at AX. In Vietnam 34% said the
United States should pursue "all
out" military effort. However,
32% favored phased reduction of
U. S. forces.

Intensify the bombing of North
Vietnam was the opinion of 41%

of the Southerners voting. 23%
voted to suspend the bombing
and 16% said the United States
should permanently stop the
bombing.

Nationwide the vote on the is-
sues differs considerably from
our region. A reduction of mili-
tary activity was the choice of
45%, "all out" effort 21% and
total withdrawal was favored by
18% of all students voting. Per-
manent cessation of bombing drew
29% of the vote and another 29%
said reduce the bombing. Inten-
sify the bombing of North Viet-
nam was the vote of 26% of
the national vote.

Big Spring
Is The Word
From Omegas

by Trenie Cooper

This spring has brought some
new and wonderful experiences
to the Omega Social Club, not
the least of these being our new
spring pledge class. They have
really accomplished some amaz-
ing things since rush ended, in-
cluding a very successful sale of
peanut brittle. The members are
certainly proud of these girls.

Women's Intramural Softball
has been a source of fun and
growing sisterhood for the Ome-
gas. We have not yet received
any major league contracts, but
there is always next year.

The Omegas sold doughnuts
(800 dozen!!) this spring and
even though we might no! have
thoroughly enjoyed selling our
product, we certainly enjoyed
spending our profits.

At a recent meeting our offi-
cers for 1968-69 were elected;
they were announced at our ban-
quet, which was April 26, at
Dale's Cellar.

The are: Pat Kinney, President;
Peggy Maher, Vice - President;
Amelia Windham, Corresponding
Secetary; Bobbie Thorton, Recor-
ding Secretary; Jenny Lind, Trea-
surer; Mary Coleman, Chaplain;
Suzanne Griffin, Pledge Master;
Gayle Hodges, Social Chairman;
Jean Baker, Rush Chairman.

The banquet was delightful, the
food was delicious (champagne
even!), and the company was
certainly superb. We were enter-
tained by a program in which
each member and pledge was the
recipient of an award. These
awards (which included such ti-
tles as Biggest Boozer, Foot-and-
Mouth Award, and Miss Khow-it-
all) were graciously received by
all.

The pledges gave the actives a
party in Fuller, Friday, May 3,
after the dorm closed. The pro-
gram consisted of a variety show,
which included many talented
acts, and afterwards the pledges
gave the members yellow pillow
cases monogramed with the Greek
letter "Omega."

This past weekend the Omegas
worked with David Keller at the
camp house at the lake. We
washed windows and mopped
floors, and really felt as though
we had accomplished something
toward a fuller social life for the
campus.

In every aspect, this has been a
rewarding and enjoyable spring
for the Omegas, and we are look-
ing forward to a new year of ex-
citing social activities and service
projects.

Glenn Hewett Reports

THE WAR IN VIETNAM

Editor's Note: Due to the death of Glenn Hewett's fath
and his subsequent return to his home in Atlanta, this column
has not appeared in several past editions.

SAIGON — Just before the beginning of the peace talks in Pa
last week, many were saying that these are the final days of t
war. However as the battles break out, and the war comes to
gon again, it seems more appropriate to think of these days as
other chapter of the war.

As the situation stands now, it seems to be best described
mass confusion. Yesterday, I spent most of the day walking ov
the city of Saigon. I learned from Private First Class Ron Ethe
idge, of Meridian, Mississippi, that many of our troops are livi
throughout the city of Saigon, in hotels, or just anywhere th
space can be secured to quarter them. I have spent a couple
nights recently with other American soldiers, who have their o"
quarters scattered throughout the city.

Exactly how well these men are able to function as part of an
organized military organization is not clear. There appears to be
little order at times. However during all of my several weeks here.
I have yet to see a single instance of insubordination to a higher
ranking military officer by a member of our armed forces.

I suppose that nearly all of the soldiers here in Saigon are like
Private Etheridge. They have contact with some military organiza-
tion most of the time. He said he had yesterday off when I met
him walking down a Saigon street carrying his rifle strapped over
his shoulder. He was using the day just to see the city. He didn't
seem to be getting too far away from the motel where he and
others were quartered.

I haven't confirmed it with anyone officially, but it has been
apparent that a lot of shifting about on the part of our military
forces has taken place here during these critical last few days.
Some Headquarter and Command Posts seem to have changed. I
understand the Australian Embassy moved their quarters out of
the Caravelle Hotel to a separate building.

The situation seems very tense among the Vietnamese people,
unusually so. In fact it is the first time that I have seen what ap-
pears to be the whole city upset. However, I would expect that
conditions were similar during the last Tet Offensive.

Everyone seems to be going about their work in an unusually
fast manner, with the exception of many of the dock workers here
around the ship, who are unloading the cargo. They, too, have
worked rapidly at times. However, for the past 36 hours or so they
have seemed to slow down considerably.

After walking out on the deck of a ship on which I am staying
a few minutes ago, I noticed a Vietnamese tug boat named "Ca-
velle" pulling a barge load of lumber away from our ship. Ap-
parently it had been loaded during the night from the Columbia
Eagle's cargo.

The ship's crew is mighty anxious to get underway back to the
United States. All kinds of rumors are flying around about the war.
Apparently there are some heavy concentrations of enemy troops
massed in the Saigon area at this time. I have heard estimates of
from ten to fifty thousand hostile enemy troops within 20 miles of
Saigon. It is very difficult to learn much about the fighting in and
around the city. At this time it seems to be confined to a few
rocket attacks and some street fighting in scattered sections of the
city. I have had to rely on unofficial sources in recent days for
all of my information. Many times, however, that can be more ac-
curate than official information from government sources.

Yesterday I learned from one of our American Embassy secre-
taries, Miss Eileen Broe, that Viet Cong forces had the City Hall
of Saigon as their positron to gain during the days ahead. Night
before last, I got caught downtown in a bar and restaurant after
the 7:00 p.m. curfew, and without much warning an explosion took
place right out in the middle of the street, setting some automo-
biles afire. The restaurant was filled mostly with American and
Vietnamese civilians. Of course it sent nearly everyone scattering
to rooms in the upstairs hotel.

At the time of the explosion I was chatting with a couple of
American GI's. It was there in the restaurant that I met Miss
Helen Harris, a Negro American entertainer who has been here
16 months entertaining our armed forces. She is not one of those
high-paid American entertainers either. She came to Vietnam pretty
much of her own accord with the hope that she could do her part
too. There are a good many Americans such as Helen Harris here
in Vietnam, doing what they can, in ways that they can, under
the most adverse conditions to help get this war over with. Before
the final chapters are written in this great conflict they may stand
alone as America's greatest contribution in building the ties of
friendship for a just and lasting peace, if it is to come to this
land soon.

SPORTS NOTES

A.C.C. Enlarges

Huntingdon College at Mont-
gomery became a member of the
Alabama Collegiate Conference
Saturday.

A Troy spokesman said there
were no dissenting votes on the
Montgomery college's application
to join the conference. Hunting-
don is expected to begin confer-
ence play when basketball begins
next fall.

Huntingdon has not been af-
filiated with any athletic confer-
ence in recent years but has met
ACC members in most sports oth-
er than football.

Alabama College will meet
Huntingdon in baseball, basket-
ball, golf and tennis next year.

Folf Team Places Fourth

AC's golf team met their first
ising season in four years when
ley finished the season with a
•7 record. Ron Minson, number
one man on the team for four
years, finished his intercollegiate
career this season. Ron was selec-
ted M.V.P. three times and made
the All-Tournament Team in '65.

The golf squad placed fourth
in conference and tournament
play.

Chiu Goes 26-0

Paul Chiu, a freshman from
Hong Kong, went undefeated in
the intramural ping-pong and bad-
minton compiling a 26-0 record to
win both events.

Double winners in badminton
were Trammel and Baughman
while Arnold and Lynch won the
men's ping-pong tournament.

Dowling Takes Second

The annual sports care slalom
was held at AC by the Sports Car
Club of America on April 28.

The course consisting of Fuller
parking lot and the road behind
it, is considered an excellent com-
petition track.

Bryan Dowling, a junior from
Dothan, placed second in the
large sedan class. Dowling, AC's
only winner, drove a 1966 Mus-
tang to lose by only one second
to the state champion in that
lass.

A.C. Downs Samford

Alabama College defeated Sam-
lord University 15-7, 12-15, 15-9
to take first place in the Wom-
en's Collegiate Invitational Volley-
ball Tournament held at Sam-
rd.

Sena Douglas, Donna Donnelly
nd Sherry Ammons of A.C. were
named to the All-Star team.

"Thank you for your
business."

Tennis Team
Ends Season

The Falcon net squad closed
out its first losing season in six
years. They ended the season with
a 5-4 victory over Marion. The
overall record was 5-8. Against
Marion which had previously han-
ded AC a 5-4 loss, Robert Wal-
ters, Bill Toms, Mike Malone and
Rickey Dunn all won their sin-
gles matches. Sid McLaughlin and
Bill Toms took the deciding point
in the doubles with a 7-5, 5-7,
7-5 win.

In the A.C.C. tournament Mike
Lewanski and Robert Walters,
the one and two men, both were
upset in the first round. Bill
Toms, favored to win the number
three bracket, lost in the finals.

Mike Malone, Sid McLaughlin
and Rick" Dunn all won their
first round matches then each
met defeat with the top seeded
men in their brackets. Malone
and Dunn nearly scored upsets
while playing their best tennis of
the year.

The number one combination of
Malone and Lewanski lost to the
eventual winners in the first
round when they fell 9-7 and 7-5
after leading 5-2 and 5-4 in both
sets. McLaughlin and Toms lost
in the semi-finals 6-2, 6-1.

After remaining at the one and
two spots in the conference for
the last five years, the team fell
to fourth place in the conference
and tournament play during the
1968 season.

Back next year is Mike Lewans-
ki, the number one man, Robert
Walters, the number two man,
and Mike Malone, the number
four man.

The team will lose Bill Toms,
Sid McLaughlin and Rickey Dunn.
Toms compiled a 14-2 record at
the number 3 singles this year.
In four years in the conference
he won 31 and lost 9 while being
named All-Conference in '66 and
All-Tournament in '67.

Sid McLaughlin, the number
five man, played with the net
squad of '67 which went 21-0. He
also was named All-Conference
at number three doubles that
year. Rick Dunn showed much
improvement over the season at
the number six position. In his
first year in athletic competition,
Dunn won the deciding point for
the team wins.

Falcon Baseball Team
Ends Best Yet Season

By Larry Mickwee

The Alabama College Falcon baseball team ended the season
last week with a 10-10 win-loss record, the best that any Falcon
team has ever compiled. The winningest team yet brought home
three victories from their last four games to even their season
marks at ten wins and ten losses.

On April 27 the Falcons played their second to last double-
header with Birmingham-Southern and edged them out 1-0 in the
first game and trounced them in the second 12-7.

In the last double-header of the season against Florence, the
Falcons dropped the first one 3-2 and took the second by the same
score giving them three victories in their final four outings.

The good performance of the team at the end of the season is
an indication that next season will be even better. Next year's
team will miss the services of John Ed Linam, Neal Hodo, and
Junior 1 Murray, but they can count on some more good seasons out
of two outstanding freshmen of this season — Danny Loftin and
Mike Hampton.

With the loss of only three seniors and the return of almost
the entire starting line-up, including this year's M.V.P. Mike Hays,
next year's team should out-do this year's.

Credit should be given to the new coach, Tom Fleming, who
did an extraordinary job in his first season as head coach of the
Falcons.

Captain Bill Toms hits favorite shot during a match against St.
Bernard. Toms, a senior, compiled a 14-2 record at the No. 3 posi-
tion.

Juniors Make
Clean Sweep
In Intramurals

by Marsha Pollitt

Women's Softball intramurals,
under the direction of Karen Mc-
Garrah and Mary Morris, came
to an end Wednesday afternoon.
The final competition between
class teams and social clubs end-
ed last Tuesday with the juniors
defeating the freshmen 7-4, and
the Omegas losing to the Kappas
5-4.

As was planned, the winning
class team played the social club
all-star team in a final game for
fun. The all-stars were quite a
combination and kept the juniors
from scoring until the third in-
ning of play when the juniors
were able to get six runs, which
enabled them to win the game 6-0.

This year has really been a
good one for the juniors in the
intramural program as they came
out first in volleyball, basketball,
and now, softball.

Members of the triumphant jun-
ior softball team are: Clytell
Black, Donna Donnally, Gena
Douglas, Jody Holcombe, Faye
King, Jeanie Minor, Sara Moore,
Mary Morris, Beth Moulds, Karen
McGarrah, Sandra McMillan,
Marsha Pollitt, Sarah Redmond,
Polly Rooker, Carol Sandeson,
Babs Smith and Shirley Wallace.

New Players
Signed Recently
For Basketball

Alabama College signed three
new basketball players last week.

New Falcon eager Larry Long,
a 6'0" guard from Alabama
Christian Junior College, aver-
aged 19.9 points per game at
ACJC and was named to the Na-
tional Junior College All-Tourna-
ment Team. While his father was
stationed at a military post in
Turkey, Larry was named the
"Most Valuable Player in Eur-
rope" by the Over-Seas Family
Magazine.

New center, Rob Headley, is a
6'4" eager from Marion Institute.
Headley was named M.V.P. at
Marion while leading the team in
scoring and rebounding. Rob
hails from Montgomery, Ala.

Larry Ginn, a 5*11" guard from
Alexandria High School was also
signed. Ginn was selected to the
All-State Team in class 3-A while

In Curriculum

The Alabama College Depart-
ment of Speech has announced
that it will conduct a workshop
in creative dramatics June 10-15.

The purpose of this workshop is
to stimulate interest in a subject
that is rapidly being recognized
throughout the nation as a major
phase of education. It should ap-
peal particularly to teachers and
others interested in speech-art
training for young people.

The workshop will be directed
by Willilee R. Trumbauer, specia-
list in Creative Dramatics and
Theatre for children at Alabama
College. A special feature will be
a week with Miss Rita Criste of
Northwestern University, who is
in a great demand for such work-
shops, both in the United States
and Canada. The program will
consist of lectures, classes, and
demonstrations.

The workshop is open to all
adults, and to college juniors and
seniors. The registration fee is
$37.50 for 3 hours credit (Speech
351)— graduate or undergraduate,
with an extra research paper for
graduates to be submitted not lat-
er than 10 days following the
termination of the workshop. The
hours are 8:00 to 12:00 and 1:00
to 4:00 o'clock.

Alabama College students who
plan to work most of the summer
find this highly condensed course
a good opportunity to earn three
hours of credit before beginning
a job.

"Did you have a good holiday?" "See you next year."

Or . . . "We'll miss you . . . durn it. Good luck. . . ."

I'll swear I remember the day I came back, came on back for
the last time, this year. Piling into Ramsay with a fan temporarily
and borrowing a bar of soap and putting on the new green madras
shirt and— going up to the President's— with all of The people . . .
and a bunch of freshmen, and eating Ollie's World Famous Bar-
becue.

Remember the first snow that made things sort of white.
The time, The time, the first time of all that you sat in front of
Napier in the old black rocking chairs and stared at the big muti-
lated oak in front of Main— in the solid hot late-summer light-and-
air. . . . Then walking on across through the gates for the first
time. Up around and back to Anna Irvin. Waiting for the line to
open and then the lasagna!

You once, even you, went to church. And I once even went to
Sunday School. To church actually fairly regularly between the
every other week trips home. And you remember watching some-
one who sang in the choir, and now you sort of know them, to
understand things.

Someone and I, a while back, stood stage center on the apron
of Palmer stage and looked out at the house a final time— it was
empty. It was a little like looking into a coffin— there had been a
lot of life — love— there, many times. I had had bits in all my Col-
lege Nights and a few other small parts. Even so, I have been on
that stage a few times and felt all of you in the audience, and a
time or two, maybe, really communicated. You feel it between you
and them and you're alive for once.

Right now, I'm sitting with my typewriter in my lap out in the
hall — the Third East Crosshall of Main Dormitory, I mean — the
roommate's asleep (I guess). Have on the old pants, a bit old, that
I had on three Fourth of July's ago when we drove in the gates
a first time — just after the chimes had rung Three-in-the-summer-
afternoon. And a plume of purple was on the wisteria. And there
was a greenness and a brickness. And we went on up past King
House. And I remember most of all — how some of you can't — the
cemetery out there ... all away, and walled off from passing time.
And the afternoon's summerness just beat down vainly. . . .

FLASH! . . . The writer has just been awarded the Renovation
of the Renovation of Main. At a high bid of $0.50, R. Troup has
been given the go-ahead to patch up all the holes in the new wall
panelling and unwaip the same — and straighten out the air condi-
tioning. $.49 of the $.50 will be used on the conditioning of the
corner bathrooms. A new anti-bacterial culture is to be let loose
which will disintegrate the whole general area. So there will be
no need of any more worry.

Spirit of Edward Houston Wills, you can lament, but there's no
use crying over ruint ceiling beams and nice big old windows. It
is hereby made known that I never intend to enter that building
again. No-matter-what, I'm not going in. I started this last year
cursing about that — let me end it so. Barf! . . .

We'll see you in The Future.

In appearance this building re-
sembles a modern, spacious
home. It is, in fact, a laboratory
complete with facilities for in-
struction in all phases of home
management, design, equipment,
and home maintenance.

Administered by the Depart-
ment of Home Economics, the
laboratory also serves as a resi-
dence for coeds majoring in cer-
tain aspects of Home Economics.

The Home Management Labora-
tory is named for the late Mrs.
Elizabeth Baldwin Hill, a former

Trustees.

300,000 Volume Library

More than 300,000 books can be
stored in the college's new library.
Named for one of tne South s
most distinguished educators and
a former Aabama College presi-
dent, the recently completed libra-
ry bears the name of the late
Oliver Cromwell Carmichael.

Up-to-date facilities in this mo-
dern three-story library include
carrells which provide private
work areas for individual stu-
dents. Books are arranged in the
"open stack" style.

Other facilties of the library in-
clude two auditoriums, listening
rooms for stereo and monoaural
recordings, periodical and brows-
ing areas. The entire library is
carpeted and is 100% air condi-
tioned.

Science, Building Feature?
Courtyard

More than half a hundred class-
rooms and laboratories are inclu-
ded in the college's most recently
completed building, Arthur Fort
Harman Hall. Named for the col-
lege's fifth president, Harman
Hall houses the physical and nat-
ural sciences departments and the
mathematics department.

A prominent feature of the new
science building is a courtyard
where the world's largest geode
is on display. The geode, which
is a crystal-lined cavity within a
rock formation, weighs some se-
ven tons. Most geodes are the
size of a tennis ball or smaller.

The two-story Harman Hall
contains more than 50,000 square
feet of floor space. It is 100%
air conditioned.

is available at Alabama College.

In addition to the popular in-
tercollegiate sports program in
basketball, golf, tennis, baseball

Library, Science, Home Management Buildings

Completed; New Dormitories Underway

Arthur Fort Harman Hall, named for the college's fifth president,
houses all physical and natural science departments. An unusual
feature of this building is an open air courtyard. The building was
completed during the summer of 1968.

Comfortable reading rooms, carrels for individual study, attractive
lighting arrangements and air conditioning are a few of the fea-
tures of the recently completed Oliver Carmichael Hall, the col-
lege's new library.

Spaciousness is a keynote of the college's new library. The three-
story building contains some 60,000 square feet of floor space with
» capacity for more than 300,000 books.

Air Conditioning
Unit To Serve
Entire Campus

Temperature control for all
campus* buildings is the ultimate
objective of a new and unique
system at Alabama College.

Initially seven structures are
being connected' to the system.
The cooling capacity of the sys-
tem is equal to some 930 tons of
ice per hour. When all buildings
on campus are served by the cen-
trally located unit, the cooling
capacity will be equal to the melt-
ing of 1,860 tons of ice per hour.

The new temperature control
unit is the first institutional sys-
tem Of its kind to be used in Ala-
bama. Desbcribed as a "steam
absorption chilled water unit,"
the system provides steam heat
during cold weather and a method
of steam cooling during summer
months.

Huge underground pipes carry
a coolant from the unit to each
of the campus buildings.

Building Designs

Complement

Architecture

A remarkable blending of old
and new architectural styles has
been accomplished with the de-
sign and placement of Alabama
College's newest buildings.

The new three-story library
faces the oldest building on cam-
pus, King House. King House,
erected in 1823, was the "man-
sion house" of the first owner of
the land on which the college is
built. Now used for offices of the
Psychology Department, King
House is said to be the first brick
house and the first house with
glass windows in Central Ala-
bama.

King House and its antebellum
charm is seperated from the new
library by an expanse of lawn
that is shaded by huge century-
old trees.

The use of vertical columns
provides a transition between ar-
chitectural periods. Variations of
vertical columns appear in each
of the new buildings.

Historic Reynolds Hall, named
for Captain Henry Clay Reynolds,
possesses the most prominent col-
umns of all campus buildings.
Built in 1851, Reynolds Hall re-
tains the beauty of antebellum
buildings, yet functions as a mod-
ern college structure. It houses
a number of administrative of-
fices, as well as a practice thea-
tre, broadcasting studios, and a
spacious foyer.

Located across campus from
Reynolds Hall, the new Home
Management Laboratory makes
use of full vertical columns
around its entrance.

The new Science Building uses
a modified version of vertical
columns in its external decor.

CAMPUS CONSIDERED
BEAUTY SPOT

More than 36 buildings, all with
a similarity in architecture, are
included in the physical facilities
of the college.

Elizabeth Baldwin Hill Hall, named for a former member of the
college's Board of Trustees, is the new home management labora-
tory. Resembling a modern residence, this laboratory is supervised
by the Department of Home Economics.

Private listening rooms equipped with the latest electronic play-
backs provide opportunities for a variety of audio aids. Several
such listening rooms are located in the college's Carmichael Hall,
the new library.

Two new residence halrS, currently under construction, will be ready
for occupancy, September, 1969. The building shown at left in this
architect's sketch will house 208 coeds. The dormitory at right will
house 104 men.

New Dormitories Feature
Latest Innovations

Two new residence halls will
be ready for occupancy for th<;
beginning of the fall semester,
1969.

Building plans call for a new
wing to be added to the existing
Fuller Hall and for the construc-
tion of an additional dormitory to
be located in the same general
area of the campus.

Both new structures will be
three-story buildings of brick ve-
neer with such features as pri-
vate baths in each room, carpet-
ing throughout and 100% air-con-
ditioning.

The new wing for Fuller Hall
will accommodate some 104 stu-
dents and will be connected to
the existing building by a covered
walkway.

The second residence hall will
house women students and will
feature the latest innovations in
campus living for 208 coeds.

When the two new residence
halls are completed the college
will have eight dormitory build-
ings.

Orientation, An Introduction To College Life

The often-quoted phrase "... A person is known by the com-
pany he keeps" has a parallel In higher education. A college de-
gree is known by the accreditation of the college granting the
degree.

Nearly 50 years ago Alabama
College was admitted to member-
ship in the Southern Association
of Colleges and Schools, the na-
tionally recognized accrediting or-
ganization for schools, colleges
and universities located in the
South.

A vital program is now offered
the student who chooses Alabama
College for his higher education-
freshman orientation. This pro-
gram is designed to meet and
answer the needs and questions of
new students. How? Through a
personal introduction to college
life.

Alabama College offers several
orientation sessions prior to the
opening of each new semester.
From these the student may
choose the time most convenient
for him to attend. These are
three-day sessions during which
the students are housed in the
college dormitories. No special fee
is charged for orientation; the
student's application deposit is
used for this purpose. The entire
orientation program is under the
direction of a graduate guidance
counselor whose primary respon-
sibility is the new college student.
During orientation the following
fields are covered.

Physiqal Facilities

Through a guided campus tour,
the student is familiarized with
the location of facilities and agen-
cies on the campus and is intro-
duced to college staff members
who may be of assistance to him.

Testing

Interest surveys and ability
tests are given to the student to
help determine his placement in
certain curricula and classes.

Counseling

Trained counselors and faculty
personnel talk with the student,
answer questions and advise him
in the selection of courses, choice
of college major and minor, soci-
al expectations and college oppor-
tunities and responsibilities.

Student Activities

A student forum and coke party
provide the new student a per-
sonal introduction to campus or-
ganizations and student leaders.

Parental Information

A special meeting for parents
is held at the opening of each
orientation session. They may
meet for a question and answer
period with representatives from
many offices, among them the
Dean of the College, Treasurer,
Admissions and Records, Dean of
Men, Dean of Women, and Finan-
cial Aids.

Registration

One of the most important
functions of the orientation is the
complete registration of students
for their classes. This results in
a wider choice of classes availa-
ble and ease in scheduling with
personal attention from faculty
members.

A special "extra" of freshman
orientation is the informal barbe-
cue given for freshmen and their
parents at Flowerhill, home of the
President of Alabama College.

Far more requests for concerts
than can be filled are received
each year by Alabama College's
Department of Music.

Annual tours are conducted each
year by the famed Concert Choir,
the Wind Ensemble, the Chorale,
vocal soloists, and instrumental-
ists.

The largest of the touring
groups is the well-known Concert
Choir with some 80 singers. Trav-
elling by chartered bus the Con-
cert Choir logs hundreds of miles
each year fulfilling requests for
concerts throughout Alabama and
neighboring states. This group of
musicians is frequently featured
in concert with the Birmingham
Symphony Orchestra and often-
times performs for major con-
ventions in Alabama's principal
cities.

The 50-piece wind ensemble is
the college's next largest group

CAMPUS EXPANSION

Compatible Architecture

Architecture of the new facili-
ties compliments the style of old-
er buildings on the campus. Each
of the new buildings features up-
to-the-minute innovations in class-
room and library design, but each
one is compatible with the gene-
ral campus atmosphere.
